polygonal morph

hey i just found out about polygonal morphs  and was wondering if any one knew what you could use them for.

to get it: shift-click the "r" in scratch
"turn fill screen off"
click the white area "new morph"
"polygonal"

thanks  smile

Re: polygonal morph

When you click a reporter block, it gives you a preview of the value, and the triangle from the block to the bubble is a polygonal morph (I think).

so you can use it to change the shape of blocks?

Well, you could but you would have to know how to edit the Smalltalk code for it, and it would just change whatever it is used for. Probably not just blocks, though...

No, blocks are just drawn with custom drawing methods.
