Basic Drawing and Labeling
Hello, I would like to create a stack that will allow the user to Markup an Image. The image would be displayed on the card and the user should be able to draw ovals, arrows, and lines on the image. Think of it as hi-lighting certain parts of the image. They also need to be able to label parts of the image. Then finally the image would be output to disk as a jpeg. Before I go tackle this I was wondering if anybody had anything similar already done and they were willing to share?

Re: Revolution and the Web, focus on IDE Add-ons
Andre, It sounds good to me. I would like to help in any way that I can, but my Rev skills are fairly weak. At the very least I can be a stupid user tester :) Todd On Dec 6, 2006, at 2:35 PM, Andre Garzia wrote: Hello folks, I've seen my little topic grew to the point of not being related to the thing I had in mind anymore. People here talking about morfik and about engine changes, I want again to try to focus on what can be done now by a group of volunteers by using nothing but revolution ide add-ons... no externals, no engine changes, no third party technologies (except maybe xsltproc which is standard on unix machines). Let us try to focus on a tool that picks a given stack, process it and exposes user selected methods as a RPC endpoint. The RPC system should be simple enough so that we can implement the other side of it in javascript. This alone will greatly help what we're doing. We're babies on web development, let us take baby steps. Objective of this first phase: * Create a Remote Procedure Call system that is able to expose revolution handlers or functions as something accesible by a networked client. Implement this as a selfcontained library, no magic stuff, just plain code. (possibly REST inspired) * Create a plugin thing to help with the RPC code, maybe allowing you to select methods on the topstack to be exposed and thus having the tool write the stubs for it. * Create the javascript library to access that RPC system. * Create a tool that writes glue code to match revolution exposed methods to javascript methods thus hiding the RPC side from the developer. I think those are reasonable objectives for a first experiment, what people here think?

Apple Events?
Hello, I am looking into using Apple Events with Revolution, but I can't get my head around it. I am pretty proficient at Applescript, and just started using Script Debugger (jeez can't believe how much better it is then the plain old Script Editor). But I can't seem to make the leap from that to using Apple Events. All the stuff I can find on using them show you how to use them using Carbon, or Cocoa, or some language I am not into. I would love to see some examples using Revolution. Does anybody of any useful resources? Either on Apple Events or Apple Events and Revolution together?

Unfortunately, this hasn't surfaced in Rev yet. On Windows you could use a roundabout way by employing VBScript to tap into the MSXML library ; perhaps someone has made or could make a command-line app around libxsl and compile that for MacOSX, Windows and Linux.

Splash Screen Strategy
Hello, I am using the splash screen Architecture for deploying an app. The splash screen stack checks for updates and then launches the Main stack. This part is all based on Chip's altSplash engine. I want the Main stack to manage installing additional stacks and or files. My current strategy is to load those additional stacks and files into custom props in the Main stack. Then when a new version of the main stack is downloaded it will spit out all of the stacks and files that are loaded into it's custom functions into the appropriate places. I thought that this would be easier then managing multiple downloads from the internet for each additional stack and or file. I am interested in hearing some opinions about this strategy. Does it make sense to do it this way?

Counting Chars By ASCII Part 2
Hello Again, After trying several of the excellent suggestions from all you revolutionaries, I realized I hadn't quite explained myself... go figure. So here is another attempt to explain what I am after. I am actually after low ASCII and High ASCII characters that my have snuck into a text file. So I need to look at every character, but I don't need to count every character. I just want the ones that have ASCII values below 32 and above 255 and that are not in a small set of allowed control characters. Based on the suggestions I got on the other thread, I came up with the following that produces the results I am after. SPEED is critical here, since the files I am scanning maybe many mbs. I am wondering if any of you can improve on the design. I feel the need, the need for SPEED. :) put field 1 into tString put 10 11 12 29 into charsToIgnore REPEAT for each char tChar in tString put charToNum(tChar) into tASCII IF (tASCII 31 OR tASCII 255) THEN IF tASCII is not among the words of charsToIgnore THEN add 1 to tCounts[tASCII] END IF END IF END REPEAT put the keys of tCounts into tChars sort lines of tChars numeric REPEAT for each line thisLine in tChars put thisLine TAB tCounts[thisLine] Return after newList END REPEAT put newList into field Chars Thanks in Advance Todd -- Todd Geist __ g e i s t i n t e r a c t i v e ___ 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

Sorry for not getting back to answer questions. I am moving my office and I cut the tip of my index finger off. Just a little bit of the tip. But it makes typing very difficult :) Here are the answers to a couple of questions... My script can do 25 mb in a minute or two, but I had not been using unicode set to true, which I will need to do. I want to display the list of these bad characters, then I will want to remove them. I am not sure if I need to deal with character higher then 255. I am trying to clean potentially corrupt data from database records. I think chars greater then 255 will be possible, and bad. So If they are there I want to zap them.

Massive XML docs
Hello Everyone. I have some very large XML files ( 100mb or more) that I would to parse. And this thing has to be fast. I mean FAST. Since I have done almost no work with rev and XML, I am looking for advice on how to proceed The user experience needs to be some thing like this... I select the XML and very quickly I see the info about the top level nodes I select one of the top level nodes and I am very quickly presented with more detail on it. Which may include all of it's children and also information from other parts of the XML document that is related. I continue to work my way around the document, by simple selecting the elements that I need more info on. At no point will a user ever need to see all the data that is in the XML doc. They are almost always looking for info on just one element buried in there. What I don't know is if the user is just walking around the xml document one piece at a time, do I need to load the whole thing into RAM in a revXMLTree, and If I do, won't that just be insane for 100mb xml file. Or can I do it one step at a time as the user requests more detailed info. Can Valentina or SQLlite be employed to help the situation? Or would it be faster to parse it into a whole slew of custom props?

So you write your own code to work with the XML data as it's being parsed... hmmm... that may be perfect for what I need to do, since I don't need to parse the whole document, just the parts the user is interested in.

I have been following Chandler for a long time. They have some very good ideas. Lately I have been struck by just how broken the current paradigm of managing and maintaining information. There is far too much info flowing at us and no good way of managing it. I think we are stuck with old paradigms and tools that are so ingrained that we are having trouble breaking free. Think about it for a minute. The computer desktop and it's folders are no way to store things. An email browser is not a work flow and process management tool. Calendars that I look pretty but are locked up in some proprietary format are useless. Everytime I put my data somewhere, I immediately want it somewhere else and I can't get it there with out copy and paste. I think we have an application centric view of the data on our computers and this is a problem. We relate to our data based on the application we use to access it. I think Address Book when I need to find someone's phone number. Or I think iCal when I need to schedule something. Since Applications are where everything lives I am constantly shifting focus from Application to Application. In the early days of multi-finder this was great. No more! It drives me nuts! BUT We are beginning to see some new stuff out there that is starting to break down this Application Trap. Apple's core suite are better integrated then ever, but they still make it difficult to get directly at the data. But what is even more interesting is thing's Like Chandler and Quicksilver (OSX). QuickSilver is pretty neato! I am a heavy addict of it already. With Quicksliver installed. I just start typing and a list of things I can view (NOUN) just pops up. then I Press tab and a List of things I can do (VERBS) to the first thing pops up. It's brilliant. I don't care what app has my Contact Info or what my Email App. If I want to email Dan Shafer. I just start typing Dan and a few keystrokes later the email is on it's way.

What you may see as dumbing down, others may see as education. I have studied Japanese Martial Art of Aikido for over 12 years. My teachers used various kata and exercises (movement templates) to teach us the basic concepts and principles of martial movement. They taught us very precise movements, re-enforcing them through practice and demonstration. BUT they also always told us that someday we must forget everything we had learned and create our own Aikido. That was the goal. BUT first we had to fully absorb the principles of Aikido. If we tried to think out side the box too early or too much, we would not understand what were doing and risked injuring ourselves or lour training partners. My teachers always complained that we either to tied to the templates OR that we were forgetting the principles. Or put another way we either saw the Templates as the Goal or we didn't know what the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$ we were doing. I see this very much the same way. The danger of templates is that people see them as the goal and don't think outside the box. And not having Templates makes it very hard for people to learn about the box, which makes it very hard to step out side of it. So like many important questions that face humans on a daily basis, The answer to the question are template GOOD or BAD is... YES!
