<H2>splitpaint</H2>
<HR>
Paint into the cursor box, splitting the box diagonally with one layer
forming a right triangle in one corner and space or another layer in
the other.
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>splitpaint</B> <I>dir layer</I> [<I>layer2</I>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>dir</I> is a valid non-Manhattan direction indicating
the direction of the right angle corner of the right triangle
to be painted. This triangle is painted with layer type
<I>layer</I>. If specified, the opposite triangle is painted
with layer type <I>layer2</I>; otherwise, it is unpainted.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>splitpaint</B> command implements a form of non-Manhattan
geometry that conforms to the corner-stitched tile database
format used by <B>magic</B> for painting and searching operations
in a plane. It lets a rectangular area, as defined by the
position of the cursor box, be split diagonally, with one half
containing one layer type, and the other half containing
another. <P>
Note that <B>splitpaint</B> is somewhat cumbersome to use;
to generate diagonal wires, use the <B>wire segment</B> command,
which is also able to compute mitred joints between segments at
different angles. <P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>splitpaint</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
