Clearing half a screen

[Michiel Spape]

Hi,
I imagine you have had more experience with programming than with E-Prime, am I correct? In E-Prime, it is usually much easier just to have three screens popping up than repeating the same one, for instance, your questions seems to mean
Start:
-Show picture1 with question1
-Clear question1 and insert question2
Goto Start

Which makes sense in normal programming, but not a lot in E-Prime. Instead, you will find this is very easily implemented as
-Slide1 has picture [CurrentPicture] and [Question1]
-Slide2 has picture [CurrentPicture] and [Question2]
-Slide3 has picture [CurrentPicture] and [Question3]
Since each one is after the other and refer to the same picture, the Question looks as if 'erased' from the screen, even though it's a totally new slide; i.e. the picture remains intact, as you ask. Questions here can be used in a nested list type of way, so as to properly randomised.

In the end, I see absolutely no reason why you need ANY script in order to do what you seem to be wanting.
Best,
Michiel

Subject: Clearing half a screen

Hi all,

Another noobie question here.

I have a picture up while I have my participants answer questions
about the picture. I want this picture to stay up as they answer 3
questions (the questions are on a grid survey so the questions cant
all fit on one screen) My question is how do I clear the previous
question with keeping the picture in tact? The call clearscreen
command clears everything and if I just keep everything from clearing
the previous question overlaps the next question. The picture is at
the top of the screen and the survey takes up the bottom of the screen
so is there anyway to clear just the bottom of the screen?

Thank you!
