nanDECK - What's new in version 1.12a

New DICE directive

With this command you can create a "dice" and use it to obtain random values. For example, this script shows the sum of three best roll from four dice with ten faces each:

DICE = 1, A, "1-10", 4, +3+
FONT = Arial, 72,, #000000
TEXT = 1, "{A}", 0, 0, 100%, 100%

New label function FRAMELINE

This function creates a frame group for a line between two frames, for example:

[hex] = FRAMEHEX(0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5, C)
[group] = FRAMELINE(hex0208, hex0603)
POLYGON = 1, <group>, 6, 90, #FF0000
HEXGRID = 1, 0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5,, #000000, EMPTY, 0.1

This is the result:

New label function FRAMEDISK

This function creates a frame group for a disk with a frame as a center and another frame on the diameter, for example:

[hex] = FRAMEHEX(0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5, C)
[group] = FRAMEDISK(hex0405, hex0403)
POLYGON = 1, <group>, 6, 90, #FF0000
HEXGRID = 1, 0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5,, #000000, EMPTY, 0.1

This is the result:

New label function FRAMERECT

This function creates a frame group for a rectangle between two frames, for example:

[hex] = FRAMEHEX(0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5, C)
[group] = FRAMERECT(hex0305, hex0609)
POLYGON = 1, <group>, 6, 90, #FF0000
HEXGRID = 1, 0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5,, #000000, EMPTY, 0.1

This is the result:

New label function FRAMETRI

This function creates a frame group for a triangle between three frames, for example:

[hex] = FRAMEHEX(0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5, C)
[group] = FRAMETRI(hex0204, hex0602, hex0609)
POLYGON = 1, <group>, 6, 90, #FF0000
HEXGRID = 1, 0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5,, #000000, EMPTY, 0.1

This is the result:

New label function FRAMEMELD

This function creates a single new frame, melding all the frames used as parameters, for example:

[hex] = FRAMEHEX(0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5, C)
[group1] = FRAMEDISK(hex0405, hex0403)
[group2] = FRAMEMELD(group1)
ELLIPSE = 1, <group2>, #FF0000
HEXGRID = 1, 0, 0, 6, 9, 0.5,, #000000, EMPTY, 0.1

This is the result:

New label function FRAMECLOCK

This function creates a group of frames arranged as in a clock pattern, for example:

[group] = FRAMECLOCK(1, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 12)
ELLIPSE = 1, <group*>, #FF0000

This is the result:

Extract random frame(s) from a pool with "~"flag

This function selects a frame (or a group of frames) randomly from a group, for example:

[group] = FRAMECLOCK(1, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 12)
ELLIPSE = 1, <group*>, #FF0000
ELLIPSE = 1, <3~group*>, #0000FF

This is the result:

Extract and delete frame(s) from a pool with "!" flag

This function selects a frame (or a group of frames) from a group, and deletes them from that group, for example:

[group] = FRAMECLOCK(1, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 12)
ELLIPSE = 1, <4!group*>, #FF00FF
ELLIPSE = 1, <4!group*>, #00FFFF
ELLIPSE = 1, <4!group*>, #FFFF00

This is the result:

This flag can be combined with "~", for example:

[group] = FRAMECLOCK(1, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 12)
ELLIPSE = 1, <4!~group*>, #FF00FF
ELLIPSE = 1, <4!~group*>, #00FFFF
ELLIPSE = 1, <4!~group*>, #FFFF00

This is the result:

Linked files are saved with the main script

Viewing a linked file with the "Linked data" button, if you make some change, the linked file will be saved with the main script when you press the "Save" button.

New flags for BORDER directive (for guidelines without card borders)

For guidelines you can use the MARK (solid lines) e MARKDOT (dotted lines) flags to show them without card borders. For example:

ELLIPSE = 1-9, 0, 0, 6, 9, #FF0000
BORDER = NONE, #000000, 0, MARK

New flags for INPUTTEXT directive (for file browsing)

With the INPUTTEXT directive you can use an F flag for browsing a file, and a G Flag for browsing a graphic file. For example:

INPUTTEXT = filename, "Pick an image:", , G
