You haven't asked a stupid question. That's not what offends me. What offends me is that you've been given several good answers, ignored them, and asked the same question. You were given a code example with :x1 => 10, :y1 => 10, :x2 => 20, :y2 => 20, and asked - "What kind of parameters are these? Are they a width/height?" I don't know anything about Gnome Canvas. But, I do know that if I google for what parameters CanvasEllipse and Canvas.root takes I can probably figure it out. I also know that they're numbers, and I can reason from there that if I change the number 10 to 15 or 20, something on the screen will change. I know that's it's quicker to change a 10 into a 15 and run it than to ask a mailing list what will happen. If I change my 10 into a 15 and nothing happens, I'll write to the mailing list and ask why. If I try to google for the meaning of the parameters and can't find anything, I'll ask specifically to be pointed to the GnomeCanvas documentation please. Do your own work, and ask the mailing list when you've tried to do it yourself and failed. Give yourself the chance to figure it out yourself. Don't make us feel like we're doing the job for you by asking questions before you've tried them yourself. I think I've overstated my point now. > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- Paul Smith http://www.nomadicfun.co.uk paul@pollyandpaul.co.uk
