The xcursor of and ycursor of functions can be applied to any object. The values returned are the coordinates of the graphics cursor in the specified object, and are expressed in the object's own coordinates.

 

The following example saves the cursor position into a pair of variables, so that the cursor can be put back to that position after the pattern is drawn.

 

response to AddDot

    copy (xcursor of Z) to SaveX

    copy (ycursor of Z) to SaveY

    add to Z

        pattern Dot

        move to SaveX SaveY
