Can anyone tell me what is the correct way of drawing help lines for tool plugins.
For my problem is:
I move points, so i have to redraw the views each iteration in my mouse-drag loop.
If i use XOR-Lines, they flicker terribly.
If i use the drawing member function of the Tool Class, it looks like this.
somewhere in MouseInput(..) :
..
b_draw = TRUE;
DrawViews(....)
b_draw = FALSE;
..
and
Draw(..)
{
if(b_draw)
{
bd->Line2d(..)
....
}
}
The problem here is that i can't determine what view i am actually working in. e.g if the window is split up in 4 views, my help lines are drawn in each of them.
Thanks in advance
Michael
