As-pair - Function Summary


Summary:

Combine X and Y values into a pair.

Usage:

as-pair x y

Arguments:

x - The x argument. (must be: number)

y - The y argument. (must be: number)

Description:

Provides a shortcut for creating PAIR values from separate X and Y integers.


    print as-pair 100 50
    100x50

If you are performing a lot of xy pair math, you can also take a performance advantage of standard math operations on pairs:


    print 100x34 * 0x1
    0x34


    print 100X100 + 0x200
    100x300


    print 100x200 - 50
    50x150


    print 100x34 * 2
    200x68


    offset: 100x100 ; upper left corner
    size: 300x500   ; object xy size
    print offset + size ; the lower right corner
    400x600
