menu item tagging

[ron barber]

The engine change log list Menu-item tagging as a new feature:
===

The menu item specification has been extended to allow a tag to be
specified. It is now of the form:
   [ '/' [  ] [ '|'  ] ]
Note that the  is optional as is the  however, if
you want an item with a tag but without the accelerator you need:
   '/' '|' 

The  must only be composed of characters from the ASCII character set.

If a menu item has a  then it is the tag string that is passed to
menuPick rather than the . This is useful for localization of
menu items as you don't need to change the menuPick handler for each
language supported.

The following tags should be used to label the standard edit menu
items to enable them to be controlled by the system dialogs on Mac OS
X (e.g. answer file, ask file etc.):
  undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, clear, select all, preferences

Note: You should not mix the use of tags and no tags in Unicode menus.
Doing so will cause empty values for all unicode items without tags.
=
I have a menu in SJIS stored in a fld that is converted to unicode -
Japanese when the group is selected. The menupick item is handled in a
parent script.
The field with the edit menu looks like this:
ÉJÉbÉg/X|Cut
ÉRÉsÅ[/C|Copy
É}ÉãÉ`ÉRÉsÅ[/E|Multi
ÉyÅ[ÉXÉg/V|Paste
-
ëSǃëIë/A|Select All
-
åüçıÇ∑ÇÈ/F|Find
éüÇåüçıÇ∑ÇÈ/G|Find Again
-
èâä˙ê›íË/;|Preferences

I would expect the tag to be returned in the itempicked of the
menupick itempicked handler but I'm getting the actual menuitem iin
unicoded Japanese. Can anyone give me hints as to what I'm doing
wrong? All the menus are set up and handled the same way.

Thanks so much,
Ron

Yup. Take this technique, and point the custom URL to your Rev app. I'm
doing it with FileMaker.

I have a bead pattern generator that dynamically clones a small
graphic to produce 4,634 of them arranged according to dimensions and
patterns set by the user. There are also some fields and buttons,
bringing the total number of controls to 4,646. It takes about 2
seconds to render on an iMac with the screen locked. When you mouse
down on the inspection arrow in the Property Inspector, you get a
disabled item: "Too many controls to display [4646]". There aren't too
many fields or buttons to display, but it doesn't care. :)

Practical limits on object counts

[Richard Gaskin]

I may have the opportunity to build a UI which has an unusually high 
number of objects on the card.


So to see what can and can't be done, I made a couple tests stacks and 
threw some objects on them.  Lots of objects.  Thousands.


I found that 5,000 objects render, react to clicks, and save with 
admirable performance, but boosting that to 10,000 introduces a 
noticeable lag time on things like responding to clicks.


Have any of you worked on stacks with an insane number of objects on a 
card (>5,000)?


What issues did you encounter?

I have some strategies for reducing the object count if needed, but at 
the moment I'm more interested in learning what the practical limits of 
the engine are with regard to handling large numbers of objects.


TIA -

As you can see here, the coldest months in Rio still average 70 degrees:

The proffered scripts all necessitate that the original text, likely from a 
field, be manHandled word by word.

This is because text in a variable does not retain the textStyle of the 
source. But don't I remember that there is a way, or a gadget, that holds the 
style along with the raw text? The only reason it might matter is speed; a 
lot of getting and setting goes on in the solutions offered. It might be worth 
it to put massive amounts of text in a variable and process there, 
returning the new styled text to the field in one put.

Re: Smoothing a curve: bezier curves, b-splines and Alejandro's PenTool Script

[François Chaplais]

Le 2 oct. 09 à 19:15, Hugh Senior a écrit :



I am also trying to plot a curved line through coordinate points, so a
Bezier curve is not an appropriate route as it intentionally misses  
the
coordinate point. Similarly, with potentially big distances between  
points,
how 'smooth' is 'smooth'? A sharp, angular curve at each point or a  
more
flattened, rounded curve? And this assumes that no curve is  
possible at all
for the first and last points because there is no way of knowing  
the shape

at all.

One math guru I spoke to said it's not doable with coordinate data  
anyway,

only statistical data. I hope he is incorrect.

IF the Bezier curve is a function y=f(x) of the horizontal pixel  
number N, the the best you can on screen (or printer fror that  
matter) do is draw a line (hopefully anti aliased) from each point  
(x,integer((f(x))) to point (x+1,integer(f(x+1))). f is a polynomial.


To manage the general case, you can search for the mathematical (i.e.  
maybe non integer) points at which the tangent of the curves is  
vertical.

François

Re: Metal Texture in Snow Leopard

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Joe,

First of all, this is a bug that should be fixed by RunRev Ltd. In my  
opinion, it is a shame that this problem still persists in Rev 4.0.


The following might help. It sets and resets the background colour of  
the current card of your stack.


on suspendStack x
 set the backColor of this cd to 207,207,207
end suspendStack

on resumeStack
 set the backColor of this cd to 150,150,150
end resumeStack

Unfortunately, I haven't created a way to change the colour when a  
palette is focused yet. Probably, this should be done with a front  
script. Perhaps a resumeStack handler or something like focusIn.

Winter nights can be chilly, with the temperature dropping to around  
15° C (around 70 F). Laugh if you live in a cold country, but the fact  
is that thermal comfort is completely relative. Wind and dampness  
could make you feel even colder, and the homes do not have a heating  
system.


In other words, near-tropical climate with a low of 70 degrees F and  
sunny days.

Re: OT: Rio 2016

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Out of curiosity, won't that make the Summer games held in the Winter,  
since the southern hemisphere is the reverse of where they are  
normally held? Or was that taken into consideration as you would think  
it would have been? Otherwise, all those athletes in their shorts are  
going to freeze their butts off.

Re: Smoothing a curve: bezier curves, b-splines and Alejandro's PenTool Script

[Hugh Senior]

I am also trying to plot a curved line through coordinate points, so a
Bezier curve is not an appropriate route as it intentionally misses the
coordinate point. Similarly, with potentially big distances between points,
how 'smooth' is 'smooth'? A sharp, angular curve at each point or a more
flattened, rounded curve? And this assumes that no curve is possible at all
for the first and last points because there is no way of knowing the shape
at all.

One math guru I spoke to said it's not doable with coordinate data anyway,
only statistical data. I hope he is incorrect.

Congratulations!

However I do feel the Olympics have lost sight
of their original fiat and are now corrupted by
commercialism, drug-taking and other nastinesses
beyond redemption.

Let's redress  things by having a "RunRev Coding Games"
in Rio at the same time, where either individuals or
teams are each given a clean computer (i.e. containing
no RunRev code except for a copy of Studio) and a
theme for a limited time (say, 12-15 hours) in which to
create a program. We could even have a flame carried
all the way from Edinburgh fueled by Adobe Flash Cds!

Feature Friday addicts,

I have been optimizing tRev this week and will continue into next  
week. Next Friday I'll make a video showing the areas I've been working.


Thanks to our user base for their enthusiasm and support!

Sure it will come - just not this week :)

Still I am thinking it can't be that hard / there must be an easy to knock
up hack to:

interpolate points along a b-spline
guess a reasonable fit b-spine from a series of regular rev based control
points

I get returned from one data source b-splines that look like this:

where spline = (endp)? (startp)? point (triple)+

How would these triples relate to the work you've done?

Looking for a portable Linux version of revMedia 4

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi all,

Recently i have been testing revWeb plugin and revMedia 4 in
Puppy Linux 4.3 and noticed that, at least in my setup, they
do not work at all. Maybe the video card have part of the
culprit or the video drivers used in this version of Puppy.

Does someone have created a portable version of revMedia 4
that i could copy in a Pendrive and test with different live
versions of Linux (running directly from the CD)?

Thanks in advance.

alejandro

Last line should be:
you had the math skills to do it. :-)

David, i still hope that, later along the road,
RunRev add directly to the engine, svg properties
to vector graphics and create functions to
transform them.

Have a nice day!
