nanDECK - What's new in version 1.12b

New LINKFILTER directive

This directive is used to filter the rows in a linked file. You can specify more than one LINKFILTER directive for a linked file, and must be used before the LINK directive. You can use these operator in the filter's condition:

Example:

LINKFILTER = count < 3

New label function FRAMECOUNT

This function counts the frames contained in a group, for example:

[a] = FRAMEBOX(0,0,6,9,1,1,N)
[n] = FRAMECOUNT(<a*>)

The label [n] will contain the value 54.

New label function FRAMESUB

This function creates a group of frames that contains all the frames from the 1st parameter, minus those from the 2nd parameter, for example:

[fld_a] = FRAMEBOX(0, 0, 6, 6, 1, 1, C)
[fld_b] = FRAMEBOX(1, 1, 4, 4, 1, 1, C)
[fld_c] = FRAMESUB(<fld_a*>, <fld_b*>)
ellipse = 1, <fld_c*>, #00FF00

This is the result:
