pebaXEFetileng

pebaXEFetileng

pebaX gives you where the mouse is now; pebaXEFetileng gives you where it was one frame ago. Together they let you draw a continuous line from where the mouse was to where it is — which is the heart of every drawing pad.

thalaMothalo(pebaXEFetileng, pebaYEFetileng, pebaX, pebaY);

Without them, drawing in pebaEGogilwe leaves gaps whenever the mouse moves quickly.

fetileng is the ordinary Setswana for that which has passed, as in “Nako e e fetileng ke ditiragalo tsotlhe tse di diragetseng pele ga nako e e rileng” (“the past is everything that happened before a given time”).

Examples
