Re: Set font dynamically to fit text

[hh via use-livecode]

In the repeat loop set the attributes of the empty field and use measureText 
(or measureUnicodeText) to compute the textSize. As a last step fill the field.

Re: Set font dynamically to fit text

But "line breaks" is another known factor, based on X… which still leaves us on 
variable to find.

According to the "laws of math" (ha... algebrait has been such a long time;

The [number of characters, in a given font size/face, that can fit on one line 
of the field with a given length] is, in theory, among "what can be the known"

These little repeat loops are costly on mobile

Assuming one is not putting whole pages into small fields, does any one have an 
efficient run time LC algorithm that will set the font size so that the 
formatted text will all appear in the field without needing to scroll?

launch & quit

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

I have a stand alone with a card with a button with a mouseUp handler

on mouseUp

  -- some stuff

  -- tApplication variable contains a path to another standalone for 
OSX or Window depending upon what platform() this standalon is running on


  launch tApplication
  put the result into tError
  if tError is not empty then
    answer error tErrormEssage
  end if
  quit
end mouseUp

On Windows, the designated application launches promptly and my app 
quits immediately.


On OSX, the designated application launches promptly and my app waits 
way too long (a minute or two) before quitting.


Standalone built for OSX and Windows on Windows under LC905

Anyone have any experience like this? Any ideas on what to do to get the 
OSX version to quit when told to quit?

Re: Give a bug a hug

[Lagi Pittas via use-livecode]

It would help if Brian, Panos, Trevor (anybody who has got a setup ready to
compile)  created an idiots guide(s) as to what compilers to install, any
land mines to cross
any tricks that they have learnt etc because what seems to happen with me ,
I start something which doesn't put food on the table,
spend 3 or 4 hours fighting non existent documentation - leave it for
another day then probably have to start from  scratch again  when I've
forgotten what i'd learnt, or deleted
35G of Visual strudio that i'd installed .

Maybe a simpler (morons guide) version - an overview of the ide and
understand (and modify ) it as a starter.

id3lib from Mark Smith -> id3_getPictureData

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi all,

I am currently looking at the "id3lib" of Mark Smith, works fine,
however I cannot get the function "id3_getPictureData" to return
usable data.

I am using the function correctly, passing the correct parameter
dfor the image TYPE, but it returns nothing I can use in an image 
object nor export to any valid image file.

I am using a MP3 file which definitively contains a JPG, so that 
function should return usable data but doesn't.

This binary stuff is way over my head, so anyone can help?

Thanks a lot in advance.


Best

Klaus
