Thanks, Bob
Re 0), we might be at cross purposes. I'd tried to point out that I
hadn't seen
a red dot at the top left. I forget if that's a Mac feature.
1 & 2) fine,
3) It's late here, and we're off for a fwe days tomorrow. When I can,
I'll have
a look at the interaction between J-session font-size under Windows and
display
of the longest (left to right) boxed item in the JIG output windows.
I might not get back to you for a day or more on this.
Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks Mike,
Your feed back is really appreciated, as well as your patience in running
through the labs so many times to troubleshoot! I will look at chapter 4(8) and
chapter 6(1). As usual I am bending the rules a little in the way that I am
using PREPARE in the lab in order to generate multiple jig displays. I will
take a look at this in case it may be a source of the problem.
In response to your earlier observations:
0) I must learn to take my Mac centric goggles off. I will update the lab to
indicate that 'when windows are no longer needed, you can close them to reduce
on screen clutter'
1) The resizing that I was referring to, was through the radio buttons on the
side for magnification. I'll come up with a way to make this more clear.
2) The off-centre display is a result of providing room for the tooltips to
display in the negative space. In SVG the tooltips are there all the time (they
are just invisible). All the hover is doing is changing the opacity of the
message. There were a number of compromises that I had to make to allow the
tooltips to appear without overlapping the results and the off centre was one
of those.
3) That sounds as if it is a consequence of the character width. Unfortunately,
I don't have a windows machine to test on. My guess is that if you created even
longer numbers then they would extend further beyond the box proportionately.
The only other area that would be interesting to check is whether the Session
Font size for the J display (under the Edit menu in jqt) has an effect on this
behaviour.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback.
Cheers, bob

Further developments following the following:
Firstly, I discovered problem (3) in my earlier message occurs, on my PC
at least, for size setting 100% and/or below. Setting a size of 200% or
more "solves" that problem.
Next: I continued the lab, but encountered a J crash, along the lines of
"Windows encountered an error - is investigating - CANCEL"
this occurred at chapter 4 (8) as far as I could tell.
I restarted J, to see if the error recurred. I skipped to chapter (4), but
found runquiet (or quietrun - I forget as J's disappeared!) missing, so
had to run ch (0) and ch (1) before skipping to ch (4). This time it ran
4(8) and onwards a little bit more, successfully.
I now tried to make sure it was ok at 4 (8) without skipping at all, so I
reloaded the lab. Yes, it successfully negotiated 4(8) again, but, in this
same session, later crashed at chapter 6, section 1.
That's as far as I've got. I hope this is of some use to Bob and/or others.
Cheers,
Mike

I'm still in the middle of the lab, so might be overlooking some set-up
possibilities, but the following early remarks might be useful to you (Bob):
JVERSION
Engine: j806/j64avx/windows
Beta-4: commercial/2017-06-27T12:46:20
Library: 8.06.03
Qt IDE: 1.5.3/5.6.2
Platform: Win 64
Installer: J806 install
InstallPath: c:/d/j806
Contact: www.jsoftware.com
The machine is a LENOVO laptop, Z50, with an AMD A10 processor.
0) " When the Jig windows are no longer needed, close them by
clicking on the red dot in the upper left corner of the
message box."
I don't see any red dot, although clicking in the usual place closes the
window easily enough.
1) The window is resizable - fine. But if I do enlarge the window,
the interior box displaying the material is NOT resized; it typically
has vertical and horizontal sliders shown, respectively at the top and
the left of their tracks.
2) The displayed is not "centred" in that box; for example, with
v ,. 1;2;3j4;409808e21;409807987979797806576578x;6r13247
all 6 boxed rows ARE shown, but they are masked on the right hand
side by the vertical border of the box; sliding the horizontal slider to
the right does reveal the 6 boxes fully;
3) However, with that example, using either available font, the longest
string, "409807987979797806576578" , does not sit properly in its
box. The rightmost "8" intersects the vertical bar of the box.
All known "features" perhaps, and they've possibly been mentioned in
other correspondence.
It's very promising, thanks,
Mike

Greetings everyone,
I have just completed uploading a new addon that I have named Jig. It takes the
standard J text display and upgrades it to an interactive SVG display that
allows quick access to type and shape and a host of other information about the
results of J sentences.
I have posted a short video (1 minute) demo here: https://youtu.be/dK1y_V07214
Once you have updated using Package Manager you should be able to run it.
There is also a lab in the 'debug' category that will check that your system is
running the full version of the QT ide required for web displays like Jig.
I find it most useful when I have assigned a function key to it as described in
the second last chapter of the lab. Just make sure that assigning the function
key does not put you in conflict with any start up scripts that you may be
running.
This is my first addon so I hope that I have not made too big a mess of things
and I look forward to your feedback.
Cheers, bob
