Example:
Start [
If 1 Check;
[
drawWin = CurrentWindow() { Set drawing window };
selObj = LastSelected(drawWin) { Get which graphic };
graphicObj = GetShapePath(selObj) { Get shape of object };
]
]
Check [
If Valid(graphicObj) EditGraphic;
[
UnselectGraphics(drawWin) { Use only this object };
SelectPath(Self(), graphicObj) { Mark as selected };
]
]
The first state listed here retrieves the last selected graphic object and gets its shape in preparation for editing it. The next state then checks to make sure a valid graphic was chosen, then it releases all other chosen graphics in the window and selects the outline of the graphic as a precursor to editing it.
