Just about any web site with tables. I'm a fan of 'http://wunderground.com'
You can use 'plucker-build --doc-file=Weather --doc-name=Weather --tables
--bpp=4 http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=46552'
and substitute your zip-code for mine (46552).

If you set bpp higher than 4 the drawn table is too large for a single
off-screen window and you'll see [TABLExx] instead of the table icon. (the
multi-image version uses multiple pieces to get around that problem, like
it does for large images.)

I noticed trying your example of plucker and wunderland that the file
gets built in $HOME/.plucker if no directory is specified.

I however wasn't able to see a .pluckerrc option for changing that -
I'd like to be able to define the directory where plucker-build
builds its files; is there a way other than specifying full pathnames?

Nope. The main trunk is the unstable branch, so the development
continues for a while longer (it will still be released as 1.5, 
but the odd number indicates an unstable release.) At some point
we will create a new stable branch (1.6) and development will
continue on the unstable branch (the main trunk will always be
the unstable branch; each unstable release will be tagged in CVS,
though.)

Still, considering the amount of new stuff in the main trunk it
might be a good idea to make a feature freeze/new stable branch
quite soon ;-)

Re: table test

2003-07-29 Thread Larry W. Virden
Ah - I see.  I guess I will have to go with full pathnames .

I didn't want to move the cache files, etc. - just the destination
for created files.  since setting pluckerdir causes plucker to look
at that directory for everything, i'll just go the other route.

thanks for the pointer though - I appreciate your help.

Document type ID

2003-07-29 Thread Ian Burrell
I was examing the Plucker databases in FileZ and noticed that they all 
have the type ID 'Data'.  That seems like a very generic type ID, 
especially since lots of applications use 'Data' for their internal 
databases.  A more distinctive file type would be very helpful.  I tend 
to think of the type ID as being as lot like a file extension.  Using a 
generic extension like .dat makes it harder for file managers and other 
applications to recognize the Plucker format.

This could be important when other applications start reading the 
Plucker format.

I would suggest 'Plkr' for the type.  The big problem would be the 
transition.  Changing the current code to recognize and generate the new 
type is easy.  The problem is that old versions wouldn't recognize the 
new type ID.  I guess the right time to do it is when there is an 
incompatible change in the file format that only new versions of the 
viewer can read.

 - Ian

But the creator code is Plkr, so third-party utilities that want to read
the files can just look for Plkr Data files.  Alex
