V 1.2017.09.27 Update
Changes:- Modified fill coloration for all shapes; any variation can be filled (including Union/Xor variations)
- Setting the FillAlpha variable to a low value (<100) creates a gradient effect in the shapes, darkest at the center and fading toward the edges (exceptions: Union/Xor)
- Union/Xor variations will show solid color and alpha levels in the center
- Skins are now in separate folders; allows you to have more than one loaded at a time (each use only a few percent on my mediocre system)
First post attachment updated...
V 1.2017.09.27 released a day early
EDIT: (Additions show in V 1.2017.09.27b)
- Added 'Edit Variables' to the context menu
- Moved [Variables] section to top of the file
- Added comments in [Variables] to assist in utilizing features
- Reworked Expansion and Compression variations formulas; added clamps to avoid excessive values
