It's one huge table and several pages worth of HTML code is just to build up the "background" image (that's what end up as whitespace in the Plucker document) Either manually remove this stuff or create some kind of filter that does it for you. /Mike

Plucker 1.1 & vertical whitespace?
Hi, I'm using Plucker 1.1, and plucker-build is generating pdb's with a *LOT* of vertical whitespace (multiple screens worth). Using "TextParser.py -p", the database has lot of empty/blank paragraphs: Paragraph: length 0 attributes: 0 (none) offset: 0 (calculated) Paragraph: length 7 attributes: 1 (1 units of space above ) offset: 7 (calculated) NewLine Reference to image #0 Text ' ' Paragraph: length 2 attributes: 1 (1 units of space above ) offset: 9 (calculated) Text '\240 ' Paragraph: length 5 attributes: 1 (1 units of space above ) offset: 14 (calculated) Reference to image #0 Text ' ' Paragraph: length 5 attributes: 1 (1 units of space above ) offset: 19 (calculated) Reference to image #0 Text ' ' (I don't know where the "\240" is coming from -- it's not in the html -- and plucker certainly isn't displaying any images.) The URL I'm trying to grab is (just one page -- "-M1"): http://www.serc.rmit.edu.au/~ashelton/anime/html/index_grade.html Now, I'm willing to mangle my plucker sources, but what should be done? I suppose I could mangle PluckerTextDocument.add_paragraph() to suppress adjacent "empty" paragraphs, but is this the right thing to do? I'm not terribly familiar with plucker internals.

Now, I can confirm that the scale-to-fit feature in HandEra 330 doesn't work too well with Plucker documents, but it has nothing to do with the compression format. As far as I can tell, it seems to be italic text that makes it confused. I don't know exactly how this scale-to-fit function works, but it doesn't seem to like that you draw lines or work with rectangles. The italic font is created by moving the upper half of the string 1 pixel to the right using a function called WinScrollRectangle and I have also seen double lines for some anchors. If you use the "Center" option instead everything will work just fine (but with a smaller window). I guess it is necessary to add "real" support for HandEra to fix these problems. I have downloaded the SDK and I will take a closer look at it tomorrow. /Mike
Re: Platform question
I'm still baffled as to why plucker-build wouldn't work on a Mac. It's pretty generic Python code. You'd have to install ImageMagick or PIL (probably best), but aside from that it should run fine on MacPython. Perhaps one of the creative free-thinking Mac people would like to figure out what problem (if any) there is here? Bill

Alright, throw us mac guys a bone. I hotsync through a G4, any possibility there is a way for me to install the SAB? Besides, the most creative, free-thinking people use macs. Thanks Rob Daffin
