Use the create command:

  create field "New" in group "Old Group"

(Or you can also go into group-editing mode:

  start editing group "Old Group"
  create field "New"
  stop editing group "Old Group"

but this is a little less straightforward.)

Have you tried setting the group's lockLocation to true? This stops the
automatic resizing.

Rotating Images without enlarging the image space

[Matt Denton]

Hi-ya all,

Does anyone know how to rotate an image by 90 degrees without creating 
a larger image?  I need to rotate clock or anti-clockwise by a straight 
90 degrees.  Problem is, all rotations seem to enlarge to the square of 
the largest side.  Save moving the data pixel-by-pixel using a 
Transcript matrix transform (slowish) is there another way?  I don't 
fancy lots of imagedata manipulation... I'm sure there is a simple way. 
 Currently I'm rotating, grouping and resizing group (brings corners 
in).  Not good.

Any ideas?

Re: ranging lists

[depstein]

Since you're dealing with integers, you could run each line of list 1 through 
a function like

function numberSeries x,y
-- returns space-delimited list of all integers from x to y

to build an expanded version of list 1 that explicitly lists all possible 
matching numbers in each range.  Then send each item n in list 2 to a 
function:

function whichRange n,expandedList
set wholeMatches to true
get wordOffset(n,expandedList)
if it = 0 then return 0
return the number of lines in word 1 to it of expandedList

I suspect this will be faster than running each of your 2000 numbers 
through a series of comparisons.

Hi, I appreciate those who replied. Jackie, you've been a big help since HC

(theRangeArray[i] <> empty)

I hadn't made that connection and its one I'll try to remember. I modified
the script to fit my needs and it runs great.

Hi,

This is not quite the RR way of doing things, but perhaps it will provide a
clue as to what you need:

on mousestilldown
   put "100,100,200,200" into bounds
   put max(item 1 of bounds,min(item 3 of bounds,the mouseh)) into x
   put max(item 2 of bounds,min(item 4 of bounds,the mousev)) into y
   set the loc of me to x,y
end mousestilldown

...the keys being the min/max functions.

Arrays are very fast. I didn't benchmark it, but see if something like

  repeat for each line l in theRanges -- make an array
put word 1 of l + 1 into theStart

  put fld 2 into theList
  repeat for each item i in theList
put (theRangeArray[i] <> empty) & comma after theResults
  end repeat
  return theResults
end checkRanges

This returns a list of booleans corresponding to each item in List 2, 
indicating whether each item is within range or not.

Creating the initial array probably takes the most time (but it is still 
very fast.) If this is something you will use repeatedly, build the 
array only once and store it in a global variable so you don't have to 
rebuild it each time you want to use it.

((Howsoft.com)) wrote:

According to the method outlined by Ken Ray in his article, I tried a 
test
replacement of a mere 400 pixels, and this took various seconds! Part 
of the
trouble is that Transcript does not appear to have instructions for 
simply
reading or replacing individual pixels, which might alleviate the 
problem to
some degree. However, ironically, as I have found out in VB, this is 
not the
best solution. For maximum speed you have to process the image's pixel 
data
directly. Putting even part of the pixel data into a variable or array 
for
processing slows the whole thing down too much, and don't forget that 
quite
complex mathematical calculations have to be performed on each pixel, 
which
if done correctly can also take up considerable time.

I need to read Ken Ray's article.  I suspect his examples are designed 
for clarity rather than efficiency.

Char chunking for getting data is fast.  Char chunking for replacing 
data can be slow.  Specifically, ...

Assume operations are on a copy of the image.  Char chunking for 
getting pixel data is fast.  However, char chunking for replacing pixel 
data goes up with the size of the image.  (It might be nice if 
replacement noticed the size was the same and did the replacement in 
place, but alas, that doesn't seem to be the case.)  It is thus better 
to replace the entire pixel rather than each individual pixel component 
in an image of nontrivial size.  And, as mentioned in #3 below, it is 
better to replace sub-rows than pixels.

Here are a couple things to try.

1
There may be places in which it is better to refer to the image data 
(or sub-image) by reference and refer to parts of it by that and char 
positions.

2
There may be ways you can avoid repeating row-column calculations.  Use 
a function to create a char pointer from row and column and use that as 
you need.  For example, you don't need to calculate the position for 
both the read and the write.

3
After you are happy with your method, change the atomic operation from 
pixel orientation to sub-row orientation.  This handler should work on 
a sequence of pixels (as specified by char positions) and need not know 
anything about the size of the image.  That is, you don't have to do a 
row-column calculation for each pixel and replacement is directly by 
char pointer.  If you need a few pixel oriented operators but don't use 
them often, build them out of the sub-row operators.  Remember, build 
up your new sub-row, then replace it in one operation.  If you prefer a 
functional style, you can use a string function to operate on a an 
sequence of pixels and return a string of pixels and then put things 
together at the higher level.  With that optimization, the char 
chunking replacement will be less of a hit; you will be doing only one 
replacement per row under your wand.  It the image can be lots taller 
than the wand, you may want to select out the applicable rows, make the 
transformation, then then put it all back together.

I'm writing an app to draw network connections between hosts.

set the points of graphic linetohost to MyVertList
choose browse tool

you'll need to dynamically generate the path to that folder and reset

Check the filename property of the images. It stays the same even

Re: Multiple Users Updating a Single Stack

[Howard Bornstein]

>If multiple users were to update a single stack (over a network, for
>instance), would RR handle everything nicely or could the stack become
>corrupted over time?

I can't speak to whether simply opening and closing the stack from a 
server would corrupt it. I suspect Rev will keep the integrity of the 
stack as well as if it were local on a hard drive. 

However, there is another problem of "data integrity" since when a user 
runs the stack off a server, he is opening a local copy on his computer 
in RAM. Changes made to the stack are made to the RAM copy and only when 
the file is saved are the changes written back to the server.

Imagine if two users are running the stack simultaneously. User A runs 
the stack locally and makes changes, then writes the stack back to the 
server. User B does the same thing but writes the stack back after User 
A. User B's version of the stack becomes the one residing on the server 
and all of User A's changes are lost (overwritten) because of User B's 
version.

I've implemented a simple lock-out procedure to handle this. This works 
in my situation because it's a stack that doesn't get a lot of activity 
and isn't hit by a lot of users at the same time. In such a situation, 
this wouldn't be an appropriate strategy.

on openstack
   -- check a custom property to see if the stack is locked
  if the cLock of this stack is true then
Answer "Another user is currently using this program. You can read 
the information but won't be able to make any changes." titled "Program 
is in use."
  -- Since it's locked, don't allow changes to this field
  set the locktext of fld "thenotes" to true -- prevent any changes
  else
-- lock out this stack so someone else can use it at the same time
set the cLock of this stack to true
save this stack
  end if
end openstack

on closestack
  --unlock the stack for a new user to use
  set the cLock of this stack to false
  set the locktext of fld "theNotes" to false
  save this stack
end closestack

It would require a platform-specific external to display the Mac Finder
icons, but you could use generic folder and file icons as in Fetch, Graphic
Converter, and others by simply including the images in your stack and then
adding a character ("say, "f" for "File" and "d" for "Directory") and a tab
before each line in your list, then walking through the list setting the
imageSource of the character to match the ID of the appropriate icon image.

Hi Jim,

That would be the way to go ; though I'd advise you
move the images into a sub-folder 'images' for clarity
and maintainability.

Re: File/folder list with icons?

[Roger . E . Eller]

Robert,

You can snapshot the Finder icons you want, then import them as images.
Then you can use imageSource. For example if you know the line number in
the text field where a folder name is shown you can...

set the imageSource of char 1 of line x to 2017 -- use the image id of the
folder icon.

This would replace the "/" you are using now with an icon.

If those are already sorted as your example is, you can exploit that.  
(If not, you might consider sorting them or creating them sorted.)

Here is one way to exploit that:  repeat over the items in list two,

accumulation.  (Keep up with the current range by line number starting 
with the first.)  To check whether a number is in a range, do two

accumulation.)  Second, if the number is not lower than the lower

But I would now like to delete the "Link to file" field in the image

property? If so what is it called? I want to set it to "empty".

Re: Can I embed PDF driver in a Rev stack built for distribution?

[Geoff Canyon]

Many have made suggestions already, but just to throw another on the 
pile:

If your printing format is just text in a PDF and is similar from one 
time to the next, it might be fairly straightforward to do this:

  1. Create a document that looks the way you want it to. Wherever text 
needs to be placed, put an identifiable placeholder. Something like 
thisIsPlaceholderText1 should do.
  2. Print the document to PDF. Use whatever tools you like.
  3. Open the resulting PDF file and look for the placeholder text you 
included in the document.
  4. Use the PDF file as a template, and when you want to "print to 
PDF" just replace the placeholder text with the text you want to print.

This is probably impractical for anything more complicated that a 
standard business letter, but if that's what you want, it's probably 
possible.

Re: ranging lists

[Dave LeYanna]

Depending on the regular expression engine in rev 2, it is conceivable that 
one could go that route. BTW, I don't have the expertise to follow up on my 
suggestion, it's just a thought. I have a book from O'REILLY "Mastering 
Regular Expressions", maybe I should look into it.

Hi

Here's a challenge that I've been working on optimizing today and thought I
would ask the list for help in making it good transcript.

I have 2 lists. I need to check whether the values of list 2 fall within the
range of the values of list 1. eg.

list 1
1 10
20 25
45 55

list 2
1,3,12,23,34,45,52,78

List 1 may have up to 60 different ranges, one range per line.
List 2 may have over 2000 items. (these are line numbers of a text database)

I need to take item 1 of list 2 and see if it is > 1 and <10. If yes, then
keep the item, if not, delete it. Then I need to take the next item of list
2 and see if it falls within the range 1 10, and so on.

Brute force can iterate each item of list 2 and compare it with each line of
list 1 but I think it can be more elegant by noting when the item in line 2
excedes the upper limit of the range and then move on to the next range. The
faster the better.

thanks for any suggestions on approaches, it doesn't have to be completed
code.

So at the moment we're putting finishing touches on the new Application
Browser, finishing the last of the new properties palette screens, and
tracking down a handful of lower level issues in a few places, e.g. relating
to the new serial support on OS X.  There are a few syntax changes to the
new XML libraries and in one or two other places.  Besides that we're about
good to go...

RE: htmlText and images

[Chipp Walters]

Mike,

My guess is that you're having problems with fixed filepath names.

If you have a folder called 'images' which is at the same level of your app,
you'll need to dynamically generate the path to that folder and reset each
image filename in your stack at startup.

Check the filename property of the images. It stays the same even after a
build.

Re: Setting Pixels

[Klaus Major]

Hi Jim,


..
The good people at RR have posted a demo stack in the "Education" page 
on the RunRev site:
http://www.runrev.com/revolution/education/usercontributions.html

Check the User Contributions. This is intended primarily for an 
elementary course in programing in
Transcript  and Turtle Graphics for science students, but it may  also 
work for you.

Jim Hurley

i also would like to take a look at "turtles".
Heard it very often in the past, but still have no idea what i means.

Unfortunately i cannot get it work.

A look at your scripts showed me the reason.

You use lots of reserved word in your handlers, be it as a handler name
("left", "right", "home" etc...) or names of variables ("num" as the 
most obvious example).

I would really appreciate if you could take a look again and change 
your stack.


Thanks a lot in advance.

Much easier to edit the image via script with a pencil.

on mouseUp
  select img 1
  choose pencil
  drag from topLeft of img 1 to botRight of img 1
  choose browse
end mouseUp

This could easily be set up to modify a single pixel in an image..

for instance a button with:

on mouseUp
  changeThisPixel 3,7,"test","red"
end mouseUp

on changeThisPixel pDeltaX,pDeltaY,pImg,pColor
  select img pImg
  choose pencil
  set the penColor to pColor
  put left of img pImg + pDeltaX into tXpixel
  put top of img pImg + pDeltaY into tYpixel
  click at tXpixel,tYpixel
  choose browse
end changeThisPixel

it's instant on my machine

htmlText and images

Been working on a stack that displays certain webpage information. Some 
of the info contains images. They display fine in the dev environment, 
but the builds at least on my Mac OSX fail to display images. Am I 
doing something wrong? I am not sure if imagesource may be a solution, 
but it seems strange that it appears in development envirionment and 
not the build?

BTW. I need to thank the people at Fourthworld for Umbrellaman. It

RE: Displaying two cards in different windows

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Jim,

Why don't you just use groups instead of cards. Many of us create 1 card
stacks and do everything on that stack. Check out www.buttongadget.com for a
stack which displays multiple images on a single card--just show/hiding
groups.

best,

Chipp

Hey Jim!

Nice stack! Though I'm having a bit of a problem working with it

I opened it in RR1.5 on a PC and it doesn't want to work.
I see you have many variables called 'num' in the stack script. 'num' is a
reserverd transcript term, so it won't work (at least not on my PC:-)

I'd like to play with your stack. Let me know if you get around to fixing
it! Thanks for supporting RR.

best,

Chipp

New AltPlugin updates... Thanks Rob Cozens.

[Chipp Walters]

1/29/2003 Updated new AltPlugins
revAltPlugin.rev
revAltPropList.rev
revAltArchive.rev
revAltImgView.rev

These are still in beta, but are getting much better!!
You MUST update the revAltPropList to V1.5 because the old one didn't work
properly.

Also,
Much thanks to Rob Cozens for adding a very valuable feature to
revAltPropList.

This plugin is used to compare the properties of two controls. It stores the
properties side by side so you can scroll through them and see where the
differences are. Rob added a one line script which hilites the differences.

Thanks Rob!
