I don't think thou hast been misleading me Mr P...
Yes the border width as a whole is set from the border dialogue box, and
that's okay.
We are discussing a different game and place...
Inside "!OvnPro.!OvnResDir.Borders" there is a text file called (Wait for
it...) !Borders.
A border definition file in textural form, rather than the old Publisher
Borders out of Drawfiles.
The line from it I noted earlier was:
Line 1 0xEEEEEEEE 0x1400 0x0
According to the Manual page 272.
That is...
Line<n> <pattern> <size> <join>
Line 1 0xEEEEEEEE 0x1400 0x0
Where:
n Is the number of the line style
pattern. Is the pattern that defines the line pattern.
size Is the size in 1/1000pt at which the pattern is plotted
Join Is the corner join style.
0 Mitre
1 Round
2 Bevelled.
Changing the <size> in hex from 0x1400 to 0x2c50 does indeed change the
minimum size of the line, which can grow depending on the size of the
border in the external border dialogue box.
I suppose it's possible I'm suffering an illusion, who knows, well you
would of course...
Thanks
Dave
