exporting images in RTF from runrev
Hello,
rtf seems to be a dead end when you look to the new xml docx and openoffice
formats, but of course will live longer than expectable.
As posted some weeks ago under the title function binaryDecode within a
function ... - the following script does basic image export in rtf:
function image2rtf objektname
export image objektname of group inhalt to bilddaten as JPEG
-- for testing: export image 1 to bilddaten as JPEG
get binaryDecode(H*,bilddaten,timage)
put {\rtf{\pict\jpegblip\picwgoal874\pichgoal1121 cr into header
put cr } cr } into footer
put header timage footer into rtf
put rtf into URL binfile:c:/rtftest.rtf -- this works fine
return rtf -- this only works with small jpgs, do not know why
end image2rtf
Some users could not confirm my problems with bigger jpegs in return.
P.S. I have very good results with exporting to HTML and opening in Word 2007.
You must give the width and height of images in the html-Text for word to set
the right rectangle - but thats the same in rtf.

Franz Böhmisch

to do my own research? Would sure appreciate any tips you may have.
I'd love to be able to export reports as Word-compatible RTF -
complete with images. I've requested that feature in the quality centre:
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4231
The ideal would be if Rev could save the images as RTF directly,
alternatively, if the RTFText could at least contain a reference or
comment to say that an image is present, that would be useful (then
I'd have to roll my own image to RTF code). At the moment, there's no
sign in the RTF at all that there are images in the field.

Hiya, Some UNIX servers will run a Javascript on a 404 error page that will convert your 'cased' URL to lower case, so you don't notice what's happened. The file system on the server _does_ check, which is why they throw errors when the file name requested is different to that on the server.

Re: Unicode from Variable?
Hi guys, Wow, where to start? I completely understand your confusion and feel your pain. When I started with unicode I felt lost, too. Here's a short list of Aha! points that should help. (Caveat--I'm describing my understanding purely from a developer perspective; I have little understanding about how Rev implements unicode under the hood). - When we talk about unicode in Rev, we're talking about UTF-16, not UTF-8 or UTF-32. - The current implementation of unicode is not perfect, but it is perfectly usable. (Right-to-left languages are still problematic, especially if you need to support user input. Display of same is usually fine.) - The useUnicode property has very limited application. It only affects the behavior of the charToNum and numToChar functions. If useUnicode is false, these 2 functions behave as we're accustomed; if true, these 2 functions assume two byte characters instead of 1 byte. - The byte order in which unicode files are stored is dependent upon the processor in the host machine. That means that if you're transferring unicode files from, say, a PPC-based machine to an Intel- based one, UTF-16 files will be scrambled unless you invert the bytes as you read them in. - In light of the above, it's usually best to store unicode text as UTF-8 or even htmlText. These have been the most reliable transfer formats for me. - In a Rev field unicode and ascii get mixed up all the time. For instance, characters that normally fall within the ascii range, like space, return and common punctuation, are considered ascii. While this can be confusing, it does ensure that normal Rev chunk expressions work as expected. - There is no 100% reliable way I know of to look at a file and determine heuristically whether it's unicode, or what flavor of unicode it is. - The section on unicode in the Rev User Guide (section 6.4) is pretty good as far as it goes, but doesn't cover all the gotchas. - Dealing with unicode in text fields is different that in buttons and menus. Anyhow, those are some of the key points. For a more in depth discussion, see my Unicode presentation from RevLive if you've got the DVD. Failing that, you're welcome to read my presentation notes at: http://asay.byu.edu/revUnicode.pdf The stack I used in that presentation, which shows lots of examples, is at: go url http://asay.byu.edu/unicode-RevLive08.rev; I'm happy to help if you still have specific issues after you look at this stuff. Unicode is doable, once you learn the tricks and pitfalls. Regards, Devin On Nov 24, 2008, at 6:45 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: Recently, Phil Davis wrote: Thanks for asking the questions, Scott.

So far all the examples I've found involve setting the unicodeText from an external binary file, or setting the unicodeText of one field to the unicodeText of another. Yes, you can do this. All you have to do is make sure that the variable contains valid unicode text, then do: set the unicodeText of fld babel to varFullOfUnicode It works with custom properties, too. set the unicodeText of fld babel to the uniStoredText of me As Mark said, if it's not already uni-encoded you have to run it through uniencode() first. I guess I'm not understanding when text should or should not be encoded. I have an external text file which was saved as UTF-16 that is read into a variable. I am trying to find lineOffsets of various strings in the variable text, but so far I keep getting values of 0 (not found). I have tried using set the useUnicode to true before reading the variable (and without) and still get 0. If I first place the text in a field (set the unicodeText of fld xyz to url (binfile: tFile)), I am able to find the offsets. I'm not sure what all the implications are of using offset functions with unicode text. That's one area I've not experimented with much. So do I need to do anything to the variable text first? Encode? Decode? Something else? This is how I would do it: put url binfile:myUnicodeFile.utx into myUniVar set the unicodeText of fld myUniFld to myUniVar This is all assuming that you're sure the unicode file is UTF16 encoded and was produced by a processor that uses the same byte-order as yours. (PPC and Intel are different, for example.) If the text file is UTF-8, do it this way: put url binfile:myUnicode8file.ut8 into myUniVar set the unicodeText of fld myUniFld to uniencode(myUniVar,UTF8) HTH Devin Devin Asay Humanities Technology and Research Support Center Brigham Young University ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You know, you can buy a Windows box for not that much. That's what I did after using Parallels for a while.

Re: Unicode from Variable?
Hi Devin, Thanks for your short list! Your insights are massively helpful. Phil Devin Asay wrote: Hi guys, Wow, where to start? I completely understand your confusion and feel your pain. When I started with unicode I felt lost, too. Here's a short list of Aha! points that should help. (Caveat--I'm describing my understanding purely from a developer perspective; I have little understanding about how Rev implements unicode under the hood). - When we talk about unicode in Rev, we're talking about UTF-16, not UTF-8 or UTF-32. - The current implementation of unicode is not perfect, but it is perfectly usable. (Right-to-left languages are still problematic, especially if you need to support user input. Display of same is usually fine.) - The useUnicode property has very limited application. It only affects the behavior of the charToNum and numToChar functions. If useUnicode is false, these 2 functions behave as we're accustomed; if true, these 2 functions assume two byte characters instead of 1 byte. - The byte order in which unicode files are stored is dependent upon the processor in the host machine. That means that if you're transferring unicode files from, say, a PPC-based machine to an Intel-based one, UTF-16 files will be scrambled unless you invert the bytes as you read them in. - In light of the above, it's usually best to store unicode text as UTF-8 or even htmlText. These have been the most reliable transfer formats for me. - In a Rev field unicode and ascii get mixed up all the time. For instance, characters that normally fall within the ascii range, like space, return and common punctuation, are considered ascii. While this can be confusing, it does ensure that normal Rev chunk expressions work as expected. - There is no 100% reliable way I know of to look at a file and determine heuristically whether it's unicode, or what flavor of unicode it is. - The section on unicode in the Rev User Guide (section 6.4) is pretty good as far as it goes, but doesn't cover all the gotchas. - Dealing with unicode in text fields is different that in buttons and menus. Anyhow, those are some of the key points. For a more in depth discussion, see my Unicode presentation from RevLive if you've got the DVD. Failing that, you're welcome to read my presentation notes at: http://asay.byu.edu/revUnicode.pdf The stack I used in that presentation, which shows lots of examples, is at: go url http://asay.byu.edu/unicode-RevLive08.rev; I'm happy to help if you still have specific issues after you look at this stuff. Unicode is doable, once you learn the tricks and pitfalls. Regards, Devin On Nov 24, 2008, at 6:45 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: Recently, Phil Davis wrote: Thanks for asking the questions, Scott.

Re: Unicode from Variable?
Thanks for the response Devin, but I'm still unclear how you DO anything with the data stored in the variable item offsets, line offsets, comparisons, etc). A kind listmember clued me into the fact that you must first uniEncode the thing you want to find in the variable, and I have since found that by uniDecoding the variable I can get at my English/Roman content. But it seems that doing all the standard variable manipulation we're used to is much more complex/fragile when dealing with Unicode. In any event, thanks for the pointers to the stacks. I found several example stacks around the 'net (including your site), and though each seems to have some examples that don't work properly, the majority of info is helpful. I have an external text file which was saved as UTF-16 that is read into a variable. I am trying to find lineOffsets of various strings in the variable text, but so far I keep getting values of 0 (not found). I have tried using set the useUnicode to true before reading the variable (and without) and still get 0. If I first place the text in a field (set the unicodeText of fld xyz to url (binfile: tFile)), I am able to find the offsets. I'm not sure what all the implications are of using offset functions with unicode text. That's one area I've not experimented with much. So do I need to do anything to the variable text first? Encode? Decode? Something else? This is how I would do it: put url binfile:myUnicodeFile.utx into myUniVar set the unicodeText of fld myUniFld to myUniVar Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia Design ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Unicode from Variable?
Hi Scott, You have to compare chunks of data as binary data, not strings. This means that all chunk expressions are useless. Sometimes, I translate the data to hexadecimal, but that's just one of many possibilities. If you are working with uniEncoded plain text, you can indeed uniDecode the data and use chunk expressions. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum Color Converter has been updated!

A kind listmember clued me into the fact that you must first uniEncode the thing you want to find in the variable, and I have since found that by uniDecoding the variable I can get at my English/Roman content. I'll confess, that most of my work in unicode has involved displaying rather than analyzing or manipulating the text in any complex way. I worked on a way to sort Cyrillic unicode, but it was a killer, and I never got it exactly right. I think in general you're going to have a hard time doing some of this stuff in variables, since there is no unicodeText property of variables, only the raw strings of bytes. I tend to put everything in a field, even if it's hidden, and do stuff that way. Statements like line 2 of the unicodeText of fld foo word 3 to 5 of the unicodeText of fld bar seem to work just fine. Given that, if I were searching for strings in unicode text, I'd probably do it something like: put the unicodeText of fld searchterm into tSrchStr put lineOffset(tSrchStr,the unicodeText of fld searchcontainer) into tLineNum You could also try doing everything with UTF-8: put unidecode(the unicodeText of fld searchTerm,UTF8 into tSrchStr put unidecode(the unicodeText of fld searchcontainer,UTF8) into tSrchCont put lineOffset(tSrchStr,tSrchCont) into tLineNum This is all untested. Just my hunch given what I've learned about how unicode works in Rev. If you need to, say, select said found unicode text in a field, it could get dicey. But it seems that doing all the standard variable manipulation we're used to is much more complex/fragile when dealing with Unicode. That's pretty much the takeaway message. Everything is doable, but more fragile and complex. That said, once you figure it out, it's pretty stable and reliable. In any event, thanks for the pointers to the stacks.

Re: Unicode from Variable?
Hi, If you like to handle UTF16 directly. You can use function countUnicodeLines and unicodeLineOffset. I made a Japanese sorting stack before. You can see the functions in the stack. go stack url http://www.kenjikojima.com/runrev/handbook/download/JpnSortStudy.rev You cannot use the num of lines and lineOffset for UTF16. Sometimes you get wrong numbers. And it may help too. go stack url http://www.kenjikojima.com/runrev/handbook/download/JpnGetChars.rev Also you can convert UTF16 to UTF8. -- Kenji Kojima http://www.kenjikojima.com/ ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
problem with calendar tutorial
Before I begin, Jacqueline suggested I let the other Mark Smith in this list know that I am not a doppleganger. We probably look nothing alike :-) That said, I am very new to this and just fooling around with some of the tutorial examples, in this case the first one, the calendar. All goes well until I get to this point: You can create a background image in any graphic editing application such as Gimp or Photoshop then import it into Revolution as a control. This image can then be copied into the background group using the edit group control. If the imported image has a particular shape you can force the stack itself to take that shape. I import the image ok using the File menu command import as control (at least I think that is what I am to do). And then the image shows up. But I've not been able to figure out how you move it into the background group using the edit group control. When I select the image the edit group control is not an option. If I select the group on the card, then select edit group nothing happens. There must be some sequence of mouse clicks that I am just not getting. Any advice would be great. Thanks Oh, and at midnight I turn into a pumpkin according to the trial remaining days counter. I better go buy something if I am too be able to complete this tutorial.

Re: exporting images in RTF from runrev
Thanks for that, Franz! I've been able to *reference* images on disk with
RTF, but wasn't sure how to *embed* them!
It took your code, abstracted it a bit, and adapted it slightly to accept
optional width, height and format (in case anyone cares if it's JPEG vs PNG)
- watch line wraps:
on mouseUp
put imageToRTF(long id of img 1,,,png) into tRawRTF
ask file Save RTF as:
if it then
writeRTFDoc tRawRTF,it
end if
end mouseUp
on writeRTFDoc pRawRTF,pFileName
put {\rtf pRawRTF cr } into tRTF
if the platform is MacOS then set the fileType to MSWDRTF
put tRTF into url (binfile: pFileName)
put the result into tResult
if tResult then return Error: tResult
end writeRTFDoc
function imageToRTF pImageRef,pOpt_Width,pOpt_Height,pOpt_Format
local tData,tImageBinary,tW,tH
if exists(pImageRef) then
if (pOpt_Format=) or (pOpt_Format is not among the items of
jpeg,png) then put jpeg into tFormat
else put toLower(pOpt_Format) into tFormat
do export pImageRef to tData as tFormat
get binaryDecode(H*,tData,tImageBinary)
if pOpt_Width = then put the width of pImageRef into tW
else put pOpt_Width into tW
if pOpt_Height = then put the height of pImageRef into tH
else put pOpt_Height into tH
put (tW * 1440) into tW -- convert pixels to twips
put (tH * 1440) into tH -- convert pixels to twips
put {\pict\ tFormat blip\picwgoal tW \
\pichgoal tH cr tImageBinary cr \
} into tRetVal
return tRetVal
else
return Error: Image ' pImageRef ' does not exist.
end if
end imageToRTF
Some users could not confirm my problems with bigger jpegs in return.
I've encountered this - there's a maximum limit to the size of an image
object in Rev - I've successfully gotten to 4000 x 4000 pixels, but if it's
too large you get an error in attempting to import the image into Rev. Not
sure of the exact maximum though...

You can use either Sarah's or (the other) Mark's method to move it into the group. Or you can just import it into the group directly. Make sure Edit grouped controls is turned off in the toolbar, click on your group to select it, and then click Edit group in the toolbar. Now you are in group editing mode.

I think you should be able to create a new stack in a folder somewhere else that has permissions set for the cgi account (whose group I always forget, is it nobody? Something like that.) The same thing happens if you try to save an existing stack that lives in the cgi folder. It won't save, because the auto-backup that Rev makes while saving can't be created. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: OT: Mark well [was: problem with calendar tutorial]
Hey all, Any name is better than one of my lady friends whose last name is Penix (smile) Google that if you will. Joe Wilkins On Nov 25, 2008, at 7:48 PM, J.

I just googled Mark Smith and got 1,180,000 results. You've really been busy. Still, welcome to the list, and you'll find that even those who stubbornly hold on to their weird non-mark-smith names are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Re: exporting images in RTF from runrev

The only problem is that the RTF files don't display the image in TextEdit or Pages on Mac or in WordPad on Windows. I can only see the image in Word on OS X (I don't have Word for Windows). What other programs can see images in RTF files?

Re: OT: Parallels 4
Recently, I wrote about Synergy: Plus there's a 3rd party OSX GUI configurator that sits in the System Preferences allows you to more easily configure the server software Sorry, minor correction -- the front end utility for Synergy I meant to list is called SynergyKM. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=176447package_id=2029 75release_id=447387 This is the item that makes configuring Synergy a lot easier on OSX. Thanks to Ken Ray for pointing this out.
