getShapeBounds()

Purpose

Find the boundaries of a supplied shape

Description

Returns the boundaries (edges) of a shape drawn with drawShape()

Syntax

boundaries = getShapeBounds( shape )

Arguments

shape Handle which stores the shape in question

boundaries Vector describing the boundaries of the shape in { left, top, width, height } format.

Example

box_1 = createBox( gwidth() / 2, gheight() / 2, gwidth()/2, gheight()/2 )

setVertexColour(box_1, 0, bisque)
setVertexColour(box_1, 1, cyan)
setVertexColour(box_1, 2, fuzeblue)
setVertexColour(box_1, 3, fuzepink)

loop
    clear()
    j = controls(0)
    moveShape(box_1, {j.lx, -j.ly}*10)
    bounds = getShapeBounds(box_1)
    print(bounds)
    drawShape( box_1 )
    update()
repeat
