ADE-GP textures

[GHD]

I seem to have lost the plot (again).

When elect to texture a polygon, I am given the option to use "gp_MyTexture"



This is a texture I added a few days ago but I think I overwrote the Lines_Def file.

There is no entry in either of the txt files

Texture_Def.txt:

Where does the editor find the reference to "gp_MyTexture"?

The GP editor displays whatever textures exist, so long as they exist in both the Textures and Textures_Dpy folders. The Textures_Def and Lines_Def files only tells the editor how to display/use a texture. In the absence of a "definition", the editor displays/uses the texture using default parameters.

This avoids what I think would be an annoying requirement that a texture must be explicitly defined before it couild be used - even for experimentation.

Very clever

What I would love is an indication that they have not been defined yet - perhaps something like an asterisk in front of the file name in the list, or even [NEW].

Thanks,

And I just finished adding a paragraph to the user manual to that effect.

Our posts crossed Tom. Easily done.
