Re: [F-Script-talk] Fwd: Windows with F-script

[Andrew W. <wei...@wi...>]

Deivy,

In Objective-C, sometimes small pieces of data like points or rectangles are stored as C structs, for reasons of efficiency. In Objective-C, they are accessed with the dot operator. F-Script translates them into objects (specifically, NSValue objects), which are then accessed through methods. So the line of objective-C code:

(newOrigin.y+windowFrame.size.height) > (screenFrame.origin.y+screenFrame.size.height)

can be written in F-Script as:

(newOrigin y + windowFrame extent y > (screenFrame origin y + screenFrame extent y)
