Nah, i overrule you all heh heh. I had such program on my Sony HitBit MSX(not 
programmed by me, was to young for that) and i could plot it on my 4 color Sony 
Plotter with smooth sharp lines. I still have those. Further i really did not 
know what to do  with that biorhythm heh heh just play.

In the ‘70s I had a cheap plastic handheld calculator made by Casio called a 
Biolater. Put in your birthday, and it would give you the first three numbers - 
days into the cycles. It had a picture of the waves stuck on the front so you 
could see how you were doing. Other than that it was a 4-banger. I probably 
still have it somewhere.

I did mine on a handheld TRS 80 with a 1 line dot-matrix. It plugged it into a 
dot-matrix 2 inch wide roll fed printer to print out a biorhythm. I still have 
it and funny enough I just powered it up a couple of days ago and it still 
works.

When I brought to work and someone said that in the tty-33 days he imagined 
that one day a computer could fit inside the tty-33 and was amazed at the 
trs-80 handheld.

LCB widget "BioRhythm" v1.0.0

2020-03-03 Thread hh via use-livecode 
The widget computes BioRhythm-Curves (sinus curves with different
periods of days).

The 7 names and their periods are: physical 23, emotional 28,
intellectual 33, spiritual 53, awareness 48, aesthetic 43,
intuition 38. Moreover you can have a weighted mean of the
included of these 7 curves.

Display the values (in range -100 to 100) as graph or as table.

Some may find this widget to be "esoteric". A main reason I made
it was to show a smooth display of curves (that is not possible
in LC Script) and to exercise the display of a table.

being very short sighted about this.


Brief google searches seem to suggest that since a-not-yet-determined
version of iOS the lack of the relevant plist key (exits-on-suspend)
means that the app will not exit on suspend... I found a reference to
saying this change happened in iOS11 onwards - but couldn't find an
explicit reference to it.

So, in theory, that means that not having the key will mean your app
should work the same on iOS11+ (again, this isn't anything I've tested
myself, just info gleaned from google).


That's an improvement I guess, though it reverses the problem; there are some apps that do want 
the user to get pushed back to the launch screen every time. But I think that's a much rarer 
situation.

Unfortunately you cannot. The problem occurred because we are now 
building against
the iOS13 SDK... Apple decided to change the return value of an internal 
call used
to turn the binary id into a string :|

A fix for this has already been merged, and will appear in 9.6-DP-3:

Thanks for finding that, Matthias. I guess standalone settings should remove

That does bring up the problem of what we can do for users of older versions

I'll keep the key and see what happens soon when I do submit. It's

In iOS 13 I thought all apps run in the background automatically.
Mine isn't, you end up on the login screen every time you switch
apps or answer a phone call.

We used to be able to turn on "enable background execution" in
standalone settings but as I understand it, Apple now rejects apps
that use that. How would I get my app to stop shutting down every
time you leave it? Or am I wrong about the background option in

standalone settings?

I guess there's no solution for older devices. I can't test on a device
anymore unless I buy an new device.

Thanks for finding that, Matthias. I guess standalone settings should remove
that key now.

That does bring up the problem of what we can do for users of older versions
of iOS to prevent a relaunch of the app.

I stumbled across a code challenge for y'all, one that seems seductively simple

What is the simplest way to build an array that reflects the files and folders

We have many handlers that deliver directory trees as lists, but arrays are a different

this without resorting to "do".




Since that thread vanished last week, and hasn’t returned, I'm offering help 
here instead.

The list of full paths contains enough information to build an array 
representation of the directory tree.


/**

Summary: Given a list of full paths, and given the partial path they share, 
build an array representing the directory structure

pPaths: a return-delimited list of full paths

pPath: the path that was used to generate the list of full paths

Returns (array): A array with a branch node for each folder and a leaf node for 
each file

Description: Eliminate pPath from every line of pPaths. Then insert each line 
into an array.

email subject "directory tree -> array"

forum topic "f=7=33565"

*/


function arrayFromPaths pPaths, pPath -- a list of full paths, and the path 
that was used to generate the list

local tPaths, tFile, tArray

set the itemDelimiter to "/"


put char 2 to -1 of replaceText( cr & pPaths, cr & pPath & slash, cr ) into 
tPaths -- eliminate pPath from every full path

repeat for each line tPath in tPaths -- insert each file name into the array

put the last item of tPath into tFile

delete the last item of tPath

if tPath is empty then -- the file is in folder pPath

put "true" into tArray[ tFile ]

else -- the file is in a folder in folder pPath

split tPath by slash

put "true" into tArray[ tPath ][ tFile ]

end if

end repeat


return tArray

end arrayFromPaths


on mouseUp

local tPaths = "a/b/c,a/b/d/e,a/b/d/f" -- folder a/b contains file c and folder 
d, which contains files e and f

local tPath = "a/b" -- the shared partial path

replace comma with cr in tPaths


get arrayFromPaths( tPaths, tPath )


breakpoint

end mouseUp




If the topic reappears soon, I’ll repost there because reading code is easier 
there.

By, the way, thanks to RG for the bug report on my earlier posting in the 
now-vanished thread.

Re: Powerpoint to LiveCode

2020-03-03 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode 
Maybe it's just me, but I read through the XML library and I couldn't come up 
with a method for parsing an XML file produced by one of our copier vendors. 
Granted, the XML was really complex. But just the process of drilling down into 
the XML seemed so onerous, I gave up. I suppose too that understanding the 
structure of the specific XML is important, and the structure of the file I was 
parsing is almost hopelessly complex. 

I looked at the XML lesson, but it is really basic. If anyone has an XML parser 
that can convert to text or even better an array, in a format that can be 
easily converted back to the exact same XML that produced it, that would go a 
long way to getting me up to speed on it. 

I suppose if I understood the constraints of XML I could do better.

Re: Powerpoint to LiveCode

2020-03-03 Thread Paul Dupuis via use-livecode 

On 3/2/2020 4:04 PM, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote:
Out of curiosity, has anyone created a library that will import  - the 
parts of a Powerpoint presentation that can be recreated in Livecode 
-  into a LiveCode stack?


Of course .pptx files are actuall just ZIP archives with assorted XML 
files inside, while there is a path to importing .pptx files, it is 
not simple. Use revZIP to open the .pptx file, use revXML (or your 
howm grown xml parser) to extract the XML for each slide (each a 
separate file in the archive) and rectreate those slide elements 
support in LiveCode.


So, I know HOW to do it.

I am asking if any one has already built such a library (or even 
started it)?


I should preemptively add that I am not looking for the slides to be 
imported as images. The whole purpose of parsing the pptx file's XML is 
to convert the presentation into LiveCode elements (imported objects 
like 'image' for any art work, 'graphic' for all line drawing, and 
'field' for any text, so that the LC object are then manipulable in LC.


The work is not in revZip - I've worked with it a lot. And, as Richard 
said, the work is not with revXML - I've used that a lot too and it work 
very nicely for parsing XML quickly.


The work is entirely in mapping those Microsoft XML for Powerpoint 
elements that can be mapped to corresponding  LC elements and mapping 
all the properties (colors, sizes, etc.) and coding those mapping.


A lot of Microsoft stuff can be thrown away. I don't need it as a 
presentation, just the information in the file. So transitions, effects, 
presentation timings, etc, can all be ignored.


I hate reinventing the wheel. Which is why I was asking if anyone out 
there may have done such a library or even started such a library. I 
would rather build on something existing. It you have such a library and 
do not want to give it away, I'd like to discuss possible licensing. If 
you have such a library but it is only partially complete, I'd like to 
discuss a collaboration.


However, if nothing has been started or no library exists, I'll just do 
it in-house, if we go ahead and do a library at all..
