2D Shapes

PICTURE2{2}

PICTURE2{2} expression, a, b, mask

Can be used in 2D similarly to the PICTURE command in 3D. Unlike in 3D, the mask values have no effect on 2D pictures.

A string type expression means a file name, a numerical expression means an index of a picture stored in the library part. A 0 index is a special value, it refers to the preview picture of the library part. For PICTURE2{2} mask = 1 means that exact white colored pixels are transparent. Other pictures can only be stored in library parts when saving the project or selected elements containing pictures as GDL objects.
