The SIOD interpreter used in Script-Fu allows local variables to be accessed globally. The interepreter used in Tiny-Fu doesn't have that problem. Local variables are only accessible locally. The current design of Script-Fu and Tiny-Fu is such that all available scripts are read in to memory when the plug-in starts. A public function defined in one file will be available to be called from any other file. If two or more files contain public function(s) with the same name but different code, there will be a problem. The last version of a public function read in during startup will be the version of the function that will be seen by scripts at run time. All functions defined in a file should be made private unless you know they will be needed by another script. This will prevent one script from breaking when a new script is added or another script is changed. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"
