Re: graphics in scheme?
hi, thanks for all the replies. the internal drawing commands I found don't seem to be good enough for my purposes. the use of eps and svg files seems so far only the second best solution to me. but if I fail at scheme this could well work. I will be away for a week now so I can't try any of your suggestions but be sure to hear from me when I am back. ;) regards, Tao Original-Nachricht > Datum: 21 Nov 2007 09:56:54 +0100 > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > An: lilypond-user@gnu.org > Betreff: Re: graphics in scheme? > "Tao Cumplido" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > also [...] is it actually possible to use postscript (with > > variables) inside scheme? > > Sure!

You can write a scheme function that returns a string that is valid postscript, and use that postscript in a markup block. I've tried, and it works for me.[1] Of course, you then need to master Lilypond, Scheme *and* Postscript. ;-) -- Arvid [1] This was not for some articulation, though; rather, I experimented with adding ISMN bar codes to the copyright block or to the final page footer.

They are implemented in LilyPond and are primarily intended for internal use in LilyPond. I'm afraid that you have to browse through the files in .../share/lilypond/current/scm/ of your LilyPond installation to find all available Scheme functions. Note that only functions declared with (define-public) are accessible from within normal .ly files. A partial list is available in the Program Reference -> Scheme functions. Especially read the documentation for ly:make-stencil, which partly answers your next question. also is this similar to the postscript command inside a markup-block and if not is it actually possible to use postscript (with variables) inside scheme? There are several different backends to LilyPond, whereof the Postscript output is just one example. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: graphics in scheme?
There are a couple of ways to get non-native graphics into Lilypond output. I don't use scheme drawing commands, although this might be a possibility. The \epsfile command (in a markup) is handy - you can create an .eps file in Inkscape and then use a macro to do normal alignment. If you need to add more extensive graphics you can create SVG output from Lilypond and then add the graphics in Inkscape (see various discussions on this list about getting bug- free SVG output from Lilypond.)
