<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>spliterase</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. While the <B>splitpaint</B> command generates
|
|
non-Manhattan areas by adding paint in a triangular area,
|
|
<B>spliterase</B> creates non-Manhattan areas by subtracting
|
|
paint from a triangular area. <P>
|
|
|
|
Note that <B>spliterase</B>, like <B>splitpaint</B>, is somewhat
|
|
cumbersome to use; to generate diagonal wires, use the <B>wire
|
|
segment</B> command instead, which is also able to compute mitred
|
|
joints between segments at different angles. <P>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B>spliterase</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
