It's easy to miss affect with e-mails. We are all trying to figure out what is happening with this model. We will all make mistakes in interpretation. We are trying to make this better.<div><br></div><div>Let me explain why I thought the fill was only set in the canvas. As you point out all of the drawables have a method:</div><div> fill -> Boolean</div><div>As I read it, that tells me whether an object is filled or not. As far as I can tell there is no method</div><div> fill:=(val:Boolean) -> Done</div><div>to set the fill of an object. I must admit that I misread the fill method on the Canvas as allowing resetting of the fill component, but looking back it appears to also simply return a Boolean.</div><div><br></div><div>So how do I create a filled vs framed rectangle? I assume there is a switch somewhere, but i couldn't see it.</div><div><br></div><div>Because of my experience in using objectdraw, I'm happiest with having separate constructors for filled and framed rectangles, but I can also understand wanting a design that allows one to flip the fill state.</div><div><br></div><div>Again, for me the bottom line is whether or not objectdraw (or something very close to it) can be encoded with this library.</div><div><br></div><div><div>
