Hello everybody.
Could someone gifted please help me expand this codesnippet to show me how to add new points and polygons to an object?
I have put a simple C.O.F.F.E.E tag on a null object.
I got this code from peranders.com so a great thanx to him to begin with.
main(doc,op)
{
if (op->GetDown()) return FALSE;
var childop=new(PolygonObject); **
childop- >InsertUnder(op); ****
}**
****
I have read the "Simple Poygon Problem" thread by Newbee but I didn't understand enough of it. I cannot find the alloc function talked about in that thread in the C.O.F.F.E.E. SDK.

Regards / Feccand

Hi Feccand

I'm also a coffee-newbie but may this code can help you:
**********

var newObject = new(PolygonObject);

var variableChanged = new(VariableChanged);
var backupTags = new(BackupTags);

var totalpoints = 8; // change this value to you desired pointcount

backupTags->Init(newObject);
variableChanged->Init(0, totalpoints);

if (!newObject->Message(MSG_POINTS_CHANGED, variableChanged))
{
backupTags->Restore();
return FALSE;
}

var totalpolys = 6; // change this value to you desired polygoncount

backupTags->Init(newObject);
variableChanged->Init(0, totalpolys);

if (!newObject->Message(MSG_POLYGONS_CHANGED, variableChanged))
{
backupTags->Restore();
return FALSE;
}

newObject->Message(MSG_UPDATE);

doc->InsertObject(newObject, NULL, NULL);

**********
