====== Shapes - Reverse All Shapes ======

^ description: | this macro reverses all running shapes |
^ remarks: | requested by Marco Rossoni \\ "is it possible to do a macro that invert the shape direction? thanks a lot ... , e.g. I have a symmetric circle running outwards and with that macro make that circle running inward." |

{{tag>shape reverse circle}}

**From Titan v15 on ClearAll() requires two parameters, see [[macros:function:programmer.editor.clearall|]].\\ Simply change the relevant line(s) to ''Programmer.Editor.ClearAll(false, false)''.**

===== Explanation =====

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to [[:macros:formats_and_syntax#xml_format|Formats and syntax]]

  * ''Editor.Shapes.ConnectShapesList()'' lists and highlights all running shapes
  * ''Editor.Shapes.SelectAllShapes()'' selects all shapes from the programmer if there are any
  * ''Editor.Shapes.EditingPlaybackShapes'' flag is set if there are any shape being edited
  * ''Editor.Shapes.Reverse()'' actually reverses all shapes currently being edited
  * ''Programmer.Editor.ClearAll()'' finally clears programmer and editor

===== How to use it =====

  - [[:macros:deploying|make this macro available]]
  - e.g. fire a playback with a shape
  - fire this macro - the running shape will be inverted and runs in the other direction
