[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2689 Version: 1.3-current Yes, it's a mix of outdated features and bad documentation. This is a typical case where one idea is abused by "adding just that one little feature". Originally, a label was text *or* a symbol. Then someone said, hey, how about a symbol, followed by text, and it was implemented. Then someone wanted the text first, then the symbol, and it was implemented, etc. etc. . In FLTK 2, symbols can be anywhere, they can even be images, and there are control codes for bold, italics, font size, baseline changes, and more. I have visited and fixed the label code 20 times or more, and there is always something that doesn't work. And every few months or so, someone files a bug report that EMail addresses can not be a label. Now this makes me wonder: wouldn't it be easier to just *reduce* the feature set back to either a symbol *or* text, and for everything else, the programmer should use HTML (Fl_Help_View)? Sorry, just rambling on and on ;-) Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2689 Version: 1.3-current _______________________________________________ fltk-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-bugs
