drawing a curve with MouseMove

Post by Guest » Tue Nov 30, 2004 6:18 pm

Is it possible to draw a curve using MouseMove and a paint program? I tried recording a drawing of a curve using the "airbrush" tool in Microsoft paint but MS just records the initial point and ending point.

This is just because by default the "inbetween" moves are removed because normally they are unnecessary and just cause clutter. For most purposes all we care about is where the mouse ends up.

However, to draw something you want all mouse moves. To do this when you record your script check the box that says "Low Level Conversion (All Events)" and set mouse sensitive to highest.

However, it's probably going to be easier to write this script manually. You will want an LDown in the right place, then a series of MouseMove commands followed finally by an LUp.
