Hello, SIMILErs, I've been playing a bit with Exhibit, and was wondering if you could give me a quick example of what a simple arithmetic expression would look like? For example, if I have a quantity property and a cost property and I wanted an expression for quantity*cost (e.g. as a column in a tabular view), what would the expression look like?
many thanks! Lee PS In my play tonight, I've made additions to the Exhibit code to handle two cases which I couldn't see how to do without adding to Exhibit: 1) I wanted some properties to be formatted as currency values (in this case a leading $ and then commas separating every three digits; in reality you'd want this to be delegated to the proper l10n module), so I added a 'currency' valueType to makeValueSpan 2) I wanted an item with multiple URLs for a column of type 'image' in the tabular view to actually display only a single image but provide a way to navigate between the images (for now I just use a click handler, but I'm imagining a little left and right arrow below the image). I did this by adding a "one-image" column type to the tabular view and adjusting the code in tabular-view.js that switches on column.format to handle this. I'd love to know if I missed existing ways to (better) accomplish these goals, and if not I'd be glad to share the code I added. PPS I'm also curious if there's an easy way to get two different views on the page at once - for example a map view and a tabular view. I imagine it must be possible, but in my initial perusals of the documentation, I didn't see any examples of this. thanks! _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
