Returns the current coordinate location of the graphics pen.
PROCEDURE PenLoc(VAR pX,pY : REAL);def vs.PenLoc():
return p| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| p | REAL | The current location of the graphics pen. |
([[User:CBM-c-|c]], 2022.01.22) : To clarify, PenLoc doesn't return the current user defined mouse position (see [[VS:GetMouse]] for that), it returns the pen position during the script. Actions such as creating lines, polys etc. will cause the graphical pen internally to move. Is 2D only, In Python it returns a bidimensional tuple.
==== VectorScript ====
PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
pt : VECTOR;
BEGIN
MoveTo(1, 234); { penLoc = 1, 234 }
Line(100, 0); { pen position moved by 100 }
PenLoc(pt.x, pt.y); { penLoc = 101, 234 }
Message( pt );
END;
Run(Example);==== Python ====
vs.MoveTo(1, 234, 0) # penLoc = (1, 234)
vs.Line(100, 0) # pen position moved by 100
pt = vs.PenLoc() # penLoc = (101, 234)
vs.Message( str(pt) )Availability: from All Versions
