Thanks Eros!,

looks very nice :)
Just for the function listing functions I wish some equates, using numbers to specify return value is cool, but can be confusing.

Regarding TBGL, there is an important fix preventing GPF and fixing behaviour of models with more textures ( thanks to Eros report ). TBGL_RenderMatrix3D is now modified as we discussed before, so syntax is like:


'-- To specify 3D rendering keeping client area proportions you can use 2 ways:
TBGL_RenderMatrix3D
'-- or:
TBGL_RenderMatrix3D(%TBGL_CLIENTAREA)

'-- To specify 3D rendering keeping viewport proportions you can use:
TBGL_RenderMatrix3D(%TBGL_VIEWPORT)

'-- To specify 3D rendering with proportions 16:9 you can use:
TBGL_RenderMatrix3D(%TBGL_CUSTOM, 16/9 )



Good night,
Petr

Thanks for the update. I can see things that I will be using soon, so thanks a lot!

[ErosOlmi]

Sorry friends. A last minute update.
I've just uploaded again version 1.6.0.8 because Petr showed an example where CALL statement was not working fine with function names composed from a UDT element.
I've fixed it. Now you can use:

CALL MyUDT.MyElement(... whatever param sequence ...)

Just updated thinBasic 1.6.0.8

Now it should be compatible again with Win9x systems.
We have also added request from Kent about possibility to collapse thinAir Code browser window (see request (http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=1747.msg12736#msg12736)).
