Script to draw triangles within triangle?

[LeviFiction]

Well, a path is a set of contours, not the line segments themselves. I would equate it to an actual object in programming, the Vector Object contains all of the settings then includes a collection of contour objects called a Path.

The Object contains the line and fill data, the Path contains all of the contours and how they relate to one another. Contours are only the line segments that make up the Path. If a contour runs in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise vs clockwise) of another contour in the same path is "cuts" a hole into that path because of PSP's fill rule.

However, I would agree, the way it is described in the help files (considering what few functions there are and none of them making the distinction functionally) to refer to both the path and the contours is a little ridiculous. If they made no distinction between the Object and Path then it would be a little better.

As for my script: Correct, each triangle is a single contour in the path of the single vector object. However, it would be very easy to create individual vector objects and just group them together so that you could effect the line and fill properties of each individual triangle if you were so inclined.

OK, thanks for that. For the time being, I'll simply consider a "contour" as a grouping of line segments that share common properties.

No need to apologize to me (the original poster). Actually I'm finding all this fascinating. I ended up creating my "triangles within triangles" (your image was exactly right, photodrawken) manually and it really didn't take all that long. I'm a programmer so I don't necessarily find any of this "hellish", but I'm completely unfamiliar with scripting in PSP, so it's all new (and interesting). Thanks to all of you for your contributions.

Hi Marak60,
Glad you got the image you needed. If you drew them in PSP, then you've got more patience than me!
