Hi,
I yesterday discovered this great successor to the old StrokesPlus and am amazed about its endless possibilities!
While learning the ropes, several questions arise on specific details. This is the first one:
I´m trying to develop a small script, activated by a hotkey, to restrict mouse movement to either horizontal or vertical line (that is, rectangle would be a 1px dimension). But I found information that it must have at least 50px - what is the reason for that and how can I circumvent it?
Thanks in advance,
Rob Otter

Hi Rob, maybe it´s my mistake: I found that the minimum of 1px still let the mouse move 1px off the line - would it still work if limit is 0px? Currently, the least restriction is Quote: var mp = sp.GetCurrentMousePoint();
var rect = new Rectangle(uRect.X, mp.Y, uRect.Width, 1); where it would be better to have Quote: var mp = sp.GetCurrentMousePoint();
var rect = new Rectangle(uRect.X, mp.Y, uRect.Width, 0);

Rectangles are weird like that...I'm stepping out to go to a doctor appointment, but I just changed to 0 and re-uploaded (same link as above).
Let me know if that works.

Well, it works fine for not moving off the line now, but if height is 0, the pointer jumps directly to the X coordinate instead of keeping its current position. Same of course for vertical movement restriction :-)

There's a check in the MouseRestrictToRectangle method which checks to see if confining rectangle contains the current mouse point - to make sure the mouse starts inside the rectangle.
However, a 0 height/width rectangle has no area, so that call always returns false since the point cannot be inside a void.
I've updated the 0.3.9.7 download again to also check to see if the cursor is along the boundary and leave the location alone if so.
