A-Shell Reference

xcall MIAMEX, MX_BEVEL, opcode, bevel, linedraw

(Windows only) MX_BEVEL (MIAMEX 90) allows you to query or set the beveling options, which are otherwise available on the Edit menu or via the SET BEVEL command.

This function has both a subroutine and a print tab implementation.

Parameters

opcode  (Num)

0 to query the current options or 1 to set them

bevel  (Num)

indicates the bevel mode:

Value

Meaning

0

Beveling off

1

Beveling set to automatic

2

Beveling set to program control. In this case, to turn beveling on within a program, you can use "? Tab(-10,BEVEL); str(FLAGS); chr(127)" where FLAGS are values that control beveling options, with the most useful choices being 0 (off), 255 (on, with no line drawing characters) or 15 (beveling, but use line drawing characters also).

 

linedraw  (Num)

should be set to 0 for enabled, or 1 for disabled. (The recommendation is to disable line drawing when beveling is active so that lines will be represented entirely by the 3D raised objects.)
