[dev] Re: Configure Error
Hi Cristian,
/bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash (at least on my Ubuntu 10 - I assume
Debian is similar).
jhje@rumleskaft:~$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-02-19 02:12 /bin/sh - dash
jhje@rumleskaft:~$
'dash' is a lightweight version of 'bash' and 'dash' only understands
the most basic stuff. It speeds up booting because 'dash' is faster to
load, but as you have discovered it has its limitations.
Kind regards

Having measured performance on container access ad nauseum for
new_itemsets I can only warn you about such generic statements: For
example the new_itemsets cws seems to be 2-8% faster for loading and
saving on unix, while seeming to be ~8% slower on loading on windows
currently. So while measuring with callgrind is helping, it is only
part of the truth -- especially since it is partially synthetic. Also
measuring on a high-end i7 developer machine might be misleading,
since the scenario were we care about performance (meek netbooks etc.)
have completely different CPU-caches etc., resulting in possible
completely different performances.
Agree. I wasn't trying to make a generic statement, just pointing out
that it might be worth trying. And even though I have seen great
improvements in my particular release code on both Linux and Windows the
debug builds have terrible performance on Windows - which could be a
pain for developers.

[dev] Calc development - source code advice, please.
Hi all.
I have started to experiment with the Calc source code in DEV300_M60.
The goal is to add custom in-line cell rendering, preferably
implementable as an add-in if possible, but ... first steps first. My
first shot would be to define a user-defined format code in Format
Cells... and let the format code determine whether custom (hard-coded)
rendering is in effect or not.
I have added some useless graphics to cells that contain formatted
numbers by adding graphics instructions to ScOutputData::DrawStrings()
(here, line 1690 of sc/source/ui/view/output2.cxx - just to see
something happening, hooray) -
else {
pDev-DrawText( aDrawTextPos, aString );
++ pDev-SetFillColor();
++ pDev-SetLineColor(COL_BLACK);
++ pDev-DrawLine( aDrawTextPos, Point( aDrawTextPos.X() + 100,
aDrawTextPos.Y() + 100 ) );
}
but I am wondering - can the cell format code be accessed from here; and
is it the right place at all to modify drawing code (?). Is the format
code accessible through the ScDrawStringVars class - which is defined
where ? I can't find a header file that defines this class.
Advice would be appreciated on how I can best orient myself in the
source code. I have used
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories as a
starting point but if there is more to be found besides the source itself...
Cheers

On the other hand, there is an extension for OpenOffice.org called 'quick formule', which provides a language for textual description of chemical structural formulae. It constructs formula as OOo Draw object from text string. But created object cannot be edited as chemical structure. If a possibility to store this text string alongside with drawing, it could be used for further edit, and required functionality would be achieved. Hi Konstantin. I have looked into providing a somewhat similar functionality for protein sequences, only in Calc. I would like to custom-render Calc cells so the cells would display a graphical view of a protein sequence instead of the underlying text. To translate this to your needs, imagine that you could enter ph'4cy(2=O)(5=O)4ph(4-Oh)(5-Oh) in a spreadsheet cell and apply a special cell formatting that lets Calc automagically render the chemical structure directly in the cell (adding images to a spreadsheet doesn't work since the images do not follow the cells when you e.g. sort the underlying data). You can follow the discussion at http://www.mail-archive.com/d...@api.openoffice.org/msg09260.html. Niklas Nebel suggests a method of letting an extension subscribe to events to let it update/add images to a document - this might work for you if you only consider Writer. I haven't had time to look into this myself yet but if you are interested in supporting Calc too, feel free to e-mail me directly or post back here. I had a look at quick formule and it's a very nice tool. However, to be useful in the pharmaceutical industry the formulas would need to be SMILES or some other standard format. Interfacing to OpenBabel or similar tools could potentially solve this. Cheers -- Jan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

OK, I'll try to summarize what I have done once I have a functional add-in. Especially the need to use IDL and what's heads and tails of all those XML files was not at all clear to me from the start.

Hi Ariel. The tokencounter example works nicely for me and I have been able to change it so I can define my own IDL and implement my own functions. Testing is not particularly easy (e.g. missing imports in the .py file cause an OOo Calc crash with a totally generic error message :-/) but the functions I implement will mainly be thin wrappers for COM stuff so they should present very few problems now that I have the main skeleton up and running. The solutions we discussed earlier in this thread for supporting OOo Basic Calc functions has for me dropped in priority to nice-to-have, since I am now implementing it as a Python UNO component instead.

So I can deploy Basic macros as extensions and add buttons and stuff to the UI but cannot deploy Basic functions so they are available from Calc - feels a little like being cheated.

It is an issue from 2005, so it seems I shouldn't hold my breath for a solution... ? Ask Niklas... No quick solution in sight. We don't want to load and search all libraries, and we don't have any additional information available besides the function name. Niklas Basic supports the syntax: library-name-dot-function-name, like MyLib.MyFunc. Maybe Calc could, too? Basic Runtime isn't smart enough to try to load the library for you, but Calc could be made that smart. That solution gets a vote from me - allowing library.function syntax in a cell would feel natural to me; at least that is what I tried as soon as I had put my function in my own library. An alternative could be to allow an extension to add a module to the standard library, to e.g. add appropriate wrapper functions to surface library functions to Calc. If the reason for not allowing this is to avoid excessive initialization on startup, you could perhaps constrain extension modules so they are not allowed to have a Main sub ? That would be OK for a module that only consists of wrapper functions. But having to add special logic for special extension modules makes the above solution sounds far more clean and simple... However - a crucial feature (for me at least) that must also be supported is proper integration into the function wizard. If this won't work for Basic add-ins that will be reason enough for me to go the Python or Java route anyway. I have tried defining a function called TestFunction in the Standard library that just multiplies the input number by 20. Works fine as a cell function. I then tried to make an .XCU file that defines that there is a function called TestFunction and that it has a single parameter called X (using the example from http://specs.openoffice.org/sdk/tools/spec_uno-skeletonmaker.odt as a template). The .XCU file was then installed by hitching a ride via an otherwise unrelated example extension. TESTFUNCTION is now listed in the function wizard but refuses to work (no parameters listed - even though I have listed the X parameter in the .XCU file) and I can no longer use TestFunction as a cell function (Err:504). Removing the extension and thereby the .XCU file removes TESTFUNCTION from the function wizard and restores TestFunction as a working cell function. Is the .XCU example that I used as a template incomplete or outdated or is it not possible to add a Basic function to the list in the function wizard ?

AFAIK the later. The configration file (xcu) is for Add-in functions implemented in UNO-components.

[dev] OOo BASIC Calc extension - sheet functions in library other than Standard - how ?
Hi. I can add OOo Basic functions to the Standard library and use those as sheet functions without problems. Now, when I want to deploy the functions packaged as an extension I run into problems. As far as I can see an extension (an .oxt package) is not able to install functions into the Standard library. At least trying to do so gives me a non-function .oxt package, and of course the proper way is to put my stuff in its own namespace. So I create the OtherModule module in the OtherLibrary library having this function: Function OtherFunc(X As Integer) OtherFunc = X * 5 End Function But the only way I have been able to access that as a sheet function, e.g. having the following in cell B1 =OTHERFUNC(A1) is to add this wrapper function to (one of the modules in) the Standard library: Function OtherFunc(X As Integer) OtherFunc = OtherLibrary.OtherFunc(X) End Function So I am still stuck with modifying the Standard library - which I can't seem to do in the process of installing my .oxt file (?). I could actually live with having to add a module to the Standard library... Is there a good solution to this ? Or will I have to use Python or Java instead of OOo Basic to do this (a shame since OOo Basic does the job really nice) ?
