Re: [ANN] ChartMaker 2

Yes.
To make a good chart is not easy (experience with excel) - now there is 
Chartmaker with it's wizard (chartmaker utility) which helps making charts a 
step by step process and at the end you have a script you can use in your own 
stack.

A great learning experience and a great tool!

 Hi Mark,
 
 what about using task/code examples from
 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/. Revcoders (us, runrev ltd?..)  will
 I think that's a great idea.
 Sorry, Kevin, I think it's a Very Bad Idea.
 
 Thanks so much for taking the time to do this! But I think it's a *great*
 example, and I am going to show you why.
 
 Let's start out with a few observations:
 
 - How practical is this? I took a closer look at the site.
 
 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=mandelbrotlang=allbox=1
 
 The goal of the routine is to generate a mandelbrot image in the .PBM
 format. Now, this has some relevance I suppose in testing CPU performance,
 but not exactly in the real world. How many programs read PBM, for one? None
 on my Mac, but Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro could read it on my Windows PC.
 How fun is it to run this program, then load the result up in a graphics
 editor? About as much fun as punch-card, batch programming.
 
 - The original Pascal program (or at least your transliteration of it) *has
 a bug!* Give the output file an extension of .pbm and load it into a program
 that can read that format. You'll find that the image is skewed more and
 more as the dimensions increase.
 
 http://revuser.com/mandel/orig-600.png
 
 In either Pascal or revTalk, as coded, it's going to be a challenge to find
 out where that bug lies.
 
 - It doesn't seem like it was that hard to transliterate the original
 Pascal code. I was impressed by the similarities, actually. Even then, there
 are portions of your revTalk version that are a little more readable. Since
 the vast majority of this is mathematics, and we're not out to reinvent
 algebraic notation, you're right that it's not the best showcase. Math is
 going to be math in any programming language. It's certainly not *less*
 readable. What makes it hard is the Mandelbrot formulas and especially the
 encoding into .pbm format (which is what requires all those bit operations.
 (Maybe all of the examples from that site are like this?)
 
 - Pascal is considered a pretty easy language. Did you check out what the
 solution looks like in Java?
 
 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=mandelbrotlang=javaxintid=3
 
 In C++?
 
 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=mandelbrotlang=gppid=5
 
 Woah! :)
 
 - Well our performance is a is a bit disappointing relative to the command
 line Pascal version, we *do* beat out variants of PHP, Python, Ruby, and
 Perl, depending on what your processor was versus the one used for the
 benchmarks.
 
 - You were able to add a nice GUI file selector dialog trivially. Now,
 imagine that your goal isn't to produce a .pbm image, but rather to show
 something on-0screen the user could interact with in some way. Things
 get more interesting. This is where Rev starts to shine. The
 further away you get from pure math and have to get into user interface,
 interaction with local and remote file systems, manipulating data sets, and
 business logic issues, the better we look. Our language abstracts the
 operating system, so developers don't need to be concerned with the proper
 API to call for common tasks.
 
 - Most (but not all) of us are not using Rev to generate Mandelbrot data.
 We're creating usable applications for business tasks, entertainment and
 educational software, database front-ends, etc. It might well be that this
 site/link is all about these kinds of math-intensive routines. I didn't look
 too closely at them, admittedly. What I did like about Viktoras' suggestion
 was that he found a site with some sample code in a variety of languages. I
 think it's healthy for us to look for such examples and discover the
 strengths and weaknesses that emerge when we try to express them in revTalk.
 
 My take on the productivity equation is that it's not merely the number of
 lines of code produced, and it's ultimately not even how fast the code
 executes. In most situations, it's how long it takes to express the
 algorithm, and debug it later on. To encapsulate algorithms in flexible user
 interfaces. To take things to an extreme: a routine
 built with machine code or assembly will always execute faster than one
 built in a high-level language. But how many of us could sit down and write
 a database front-end in assembly? How long would it take? How usable and
 adaptable would it be?
 
 Another way to look at things is from the artist's viewpoint. There are
 people who will never touch digital photography because they are expert at
 the analog process. There are illustrators who will never give up their
 charcoals. There are Lego builders who spurn the non-rectangular bricks! And
 thank heaven for them, because I respect the desire for control and
 attention to nuance. In a similar vein, other languages can indeed reward
 sweating details like what kind of number you're trying to store, manually
 allocating and releasing memory, etc.

chartsEnginge and Histogramm

2009-09-26 Thread Till Bandi


I would like to use charsEngine to represent a Histogram. Does anyone  
have an idea how to do that.


When I use barsgrouped chart I get a chart I could use, but the data  
is sorted which should not be the case. If for instance I have the  
data 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 then the bars are  
1,10,11,12,13,14,15,2,3... that means that a alphabetical sort takes  
place and I did not find a way to stop that.

Hi Till,

excuse me, I am a bit weekend sleepy it seems.

here is what happens (or what I suppose what happens):

I suppose you do not tell chartsEngine what the x-axis of the chart  
should be, so it tries to figure out the minimum and maximum x and  
thus sorts the data. (that it does it *alphabetically* instead of  
numeric indeed seems to be a bug I´ll look into tonight)


However here is a solution. Include an x in your data:

example script:

on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
   local tChart,tData
   start using chartsEngine
   chartsCreateChart test
   put the result into tChart
   put empty into tData
   repeat with i=1 to 20
   put i,icr after tData-- item 1 will be used as the x-axis
   end repeat
   set the charts[dataIncludesX] of tChart to true
   set the charts[data] of tChart to tData
   set the charts[chartStyle] of tChart to barsGrouped
   chartsRefresh tChart
end mouseUp

or for the multicolored version try this:

on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
   local tChart,tData
   start using chartsEngine
   chartsCreateChart test
   put the result into tChart
   put 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 into tData
   set the charts[dataIncludesX] of tChart to false
   set the charts[data] of tChart to tData
   set the charts[chartStyle] of tChart to barsGrouped
   chartsRefresh tChart
end mouseUp

Hope that helps to get you started.

If you create a new stack and put two fields on it, you'll observe  
the following:

When you open the stack the focus is on the first field you created.
If you edit that field and quit Rev your changes will not be saved

If you leave that field with by tabbing, or clicking elsewhere on

There may be other recipes as well, but the stack saving problem  
seems to be related to the lack of a closeField - which is not sent  
if the focus is still in the edited field when the stack is closed.

Is this what you are seeing?

Re: Delete lines in files (text files)

2008-01-17 Thread Till Bandi
I guess that would be a good solution - my only problem is that the  
file has 5.6 Gigabytes. So I can't put it all in memory.


My real problem is here:

put 1 into vStartwert
set the cursor to watch
open file tFileIn
open file tFileOut

repeat forever
read from file tFileIn at vStartwert for 100 lines
put it into vChunk
replace ; with tab in vChunk
replace , with . in vChunk
write vChunk to  file vFileOut at end
add number of chars of vChunk to vStartwert
end repeat
close file tFileIn
close file tFileOut

This works until the output file reaches 2 Gigabytes. So I think  
vStartwert is getting to big and doesn't work anymore. Therefore I  
wanted to delete
the Lines I already treated in the input file so I could always start  
at the first line.


Maybe there is a better solution?

Till,

You have to read it in then write it back out. You can do it in one  
line like this (assume you want to delete the first line):


put line 2 to -1 of url file:/path/to/file.txt into url file:/ 
path/to/file.txt


Just modify the range of lines you want to have in the final file.

It's here, and there was much frolicking! (at least my cat is...)

I didn't like the way Rev presents it's documentation entries, so I  
made my own GUI (like Benedict Seidl did before).


There are two parts to it:
1. A library that takes all the xml stuff out of handling the  
documentation entries, which makes it easy for others to make their  
own documentation GUI stack.

2. And there's my own GUI stack, interfacing said library.

You need to be aware that the format/structure of the files of the  
docu changed a bit in some Rev versions, thus the stacks (at this  
point) only work with Rev versions 2.7.2 or newer.
You can greatly change the way each entry is shown using the layout  
settings, please adjust them to match your own style and needs.  
Really, take a look at the settings, there's some nifty stuff  
there. (Some of the beta testers never touched them, and I was a  
bit downed by that :-( )
Also of note should be that the stack saves on different occasions  
(after finishing the installation, every time you close the  
settings...). So it's not advised (or tested) to run it by using  
'go url http://...;'.


The stacks are located at the bottom of this page:
http://bjoernke.com/runrev/stacks.php
Direct link to my library (only interesting if you want to make  
your own GUI stack):

http://bjoernke.com/stacks/docslib_by_bvg.rev
Direct link to my GUI stack (includes the library):
http://bjoernke.com/stacks/bvg_docu.rev

Use these stacks at your own risk, and however you want. It'd be  
very cool if I could host your own docu stack based on my library,  
or if you would allow me to link to your version. Even if you don't  
want that, let me know if you use the library, that'll make me glad.
Thanks go to the chatrev fab four and shaosean for their input on  
earlier versions.


At this point it always seems strange for me to go back to the  
build in documentation (and I only did it to find bugs in my own  
stack). This behaviour tells me that I improved the usability for  
my needs compared to the existing documentation GUI.


have fun
Bjoernke von Gierke


Here end the required readings, below this line: more in depth  
information.




If you want to start my documentation stack every time revolution  
starts up, follow these steps (of course you can always just open  
it the usual way you open Rev stacks):
1. Download stack (link below), and save it into the plugins  
folder of your Revolution installation.
2. Open the plugin settings of Rev (Development-plugins-plugin  
settings)

3. Choose BvG Docu from the dropdown
4. hilite Open when revolution starts up
5. hilite Open as modeless Stack
6. close the plugin settings
7. restart rev
8. follow the installation instructions of BvG Docu
9. BvG Docu will now start every time you open Rev, ready to use

How it works:
Rev's docu is stored in stacks, as compressed custom properties. My  
library takes these, and makes one file per entry (there's ca 1500  
of them). These files are then saved to a folder, and can be  
directly parsed, or accessed by sending the library a command.
The GUI stack I made just adds cream and a cherry on top,  
especially as I don't want to look at custom property sets or xml  
files every time I need to know some Rev command.


BvG Docu is better then the build in docu because of these (yay for  
bulletpoints):

- faster
- uses less screen real estate
- only show specified entries (ie. only properties or only keywords  
and objects)

- history that works
- more links can be clicked
- separate view for related
- easier to navigate without mouse (at least on Mac OS X)
- much more control about what to show for each entry (don't like  
the summary? Just leave it out)
- more (but not total) control about font settings (size, fontname,  
italic)


BvG Docu has these disadvantages to the build in docu:
- no synonym search/filter
- not sortable by version or compatibility
- no reverse sort (always A-Z)
- no glossary
- no link to the pdf
- no videos
- no search stack, and thus no full text search
- fixed place for the topics list, instead of two
- no toolbar/menu integration (however there's miniMe)

Both stacks share these disadvantages:
- same data source (for example the entry for $ is missing in 2.8.0)
- not made by you, so they might not fit your specific needs

HyperCard conversion - no more?

2007-01-04 Thread Till Bandi
I wanted to convert an old Hypercard stack but found out, that the  
manual doesn't seem to be correct anymore:


Open Stack... Opens the main stack whose file you select. If you  
select a

HyperCard file, it is automatically converted into a Revolution
main stack. 

This does not work. I went back to version 2.5.1 an there it worked.

Hi Jim and Klaus,

 From the read-me about 2.6:

* Spotlight support: use Spotlight to search within Revolution  
stacks on Mac OS Tiger


I made some tests with Spotlight and Rev 2.6:

1. I found some specific handlers not only in stack scripts but in  
another objects (cards).
2. I found some field's text extracts without problem either (in  
any card).


So I'm inclined to think that Spotlight is able to search fields and
scripts.





Eric,

I glad to hear that it works on your system.

But why are Klaus and I unable to work with Spotlight? I have just  
upgraded to 10.4.2 and am using Rev 2.6.


Klaus: Thanks for confirming. Glad to know at least that I'm not  
crazy. Are you also using a PowerBook?


I did a search for MouseUp in Spotlight and got some results  
(including Read-me about 2.6 you mentioned) but there were no  
.rev files. Only some text and pdf files.


I this an issue for Bugzilla?


Jim

I got it. IOW, opening a socket doesn't work unilaterally. The

Right. When you open a TCP socket  (i.e. open socket to host:port), 
a TCP connection is formed. A packet is sent from your machine's TCP 
stack to his, and he sends a reply (assuming some application has done 
accept connection on the correct port). If there is no-one listening 
on that port, the remote machine will either ignore the incoming 
packet, or send back a reject packet.

When (if) your host receives a positive acknowledgment, then the 
connection is successful (from your point of view); your TCP stack 
then sends him back a third packet - and only when he receives it does 
he consider the connection complete.  (He can't consider it complete 
until then, because there could be a problem getting his packets to 
you - the only way he knows that has succeeded is when you reply).  
You may hear this referred to as TCP's three-way handshake.

Note that when you open a UDP socket (i.e. open datagram socket to 
host:port), things are completely different. UDP (datagram) is 
connectionless, so the open socket does not cause any network 
activity, and will generally succeed provided the host:port have 
valid values.

I'm going to figure out this server stuff one of these days.
And once you do, you'll realize how simple it all was to begin with, 
and wonder why no-one ever wrote a decent explanation of it in the 
first place. It's because most of us can't write decent explanations 
of anything :-)

During MacWorld SF in January -- at which every copy of my book that 
Rev could get to the show was sold by the third day -- Kevin and I 
discussed the publishing plan going forward. I had been studying the 
relatively recent development over at Adam Angst's TidBits operation 
with some interest. (FYI, if you don't know it, they are publishing 
small books focused on a single topic at $5 each and delivering in PDF 
format.)

Kevin and I liked that concept a lot. And as you probably know I had 
already anticipated releasing chapters of my book to those who joined 
RevolutionPros.com at the Leader ($197) level prior to publication and 
free anyway.

So what we've decided to do is to release the chapters of Volumes 2 
and 3 incrementally. As I finish a chapter in draft, it will go to 
those who are Leader level members of my online community. They'll 
give me some feedback (hopefully) and then I'll do a final version and 
release it for sale at something in the $5 per chapter neighborhood. 
My plan is to release a chapter about every week or so, sometimes two 
in a week.

Then when we have a full book-sized collection of chapters, we'll 
combine them into an immediately available PDF and Kevin will take 
them to print for distribution in hard copy format.

This means you can buy only the chapters in which you are interested, 
when you are interested in them. Whether you buy the full book 
collection or not is up to you (unless, again, you are a Leader member 
in RevolutionPros.com, in which case you get it free anyway).

Furthermore, I'm going to let the community help me decide the *order* 
in which to release the chapters. I'll be posting a complete list of 
the subjects on RevPros some time this weekend and allowing members 
there to vote for which ones they'd like to see sooner than later. 
I'll focus on those that get the biggest response *except* where I 
know something about a future Rev development or a third-party product 
that could change the chapter substantially.

So to recap: chapter-by-chapter electronic releases first to my 
community, then to the community at large; books accumulated when 
critical mass dictates and released first electronically and then in 
print; order of things determined in large part by community voting.

First chapter for Volume 2 -- which will cover CGI development and use 
-- next week.

Don't just sit there, revolt!

printing

2003-10-25 Thread Till Bandi
I seem not to understand how to use the Report Builder. (I also did not 
find enough help in the documentation). Is there somewhere a tutorial 
or could anyone give me an example stack where I for instance can see 
how one can print labels ( in an A4 page)?

Thanks for any hints, Till

Re: Nine to Five Reports

2003-06-02 Thread Till Bandi
I got little to no feedback on it
at least I tried to give feedback - but I think I never got an answer - 
I was delightet and hoped that you would finish the report generator. 
It would probably not do everything the Nine to Five package did (does) 
but you can script a lot outside, so this would not hurt to much. For 
me the Beta did not work, I think it was the page setup with A4, but 
the potential was evident!

Couldn't you get the project - as is - running with Revolution 2?  
and then let us
have the ultimate cross platform report generator in Rev
later?

Hi Alan. I remember talking with you at MacWorld, and look forward to
discussing this in more detail this July.
I think the big problem with writing a reports package, is coming up 
with
something easy enough and powerful enough that developers use it. As
Richard stated many apps need to print custom reports, and it may be
easier to just roll your own.

RunRev 2.0 features a new report generator, a powerful and well tested
stack based report generator, and I'm not sure how many people have 
even
tried it out.

I wrote a report generator 5 years ago for MetaCard called the MetaCard
Report Generator which featured fully customizable headers/footers,
templates, a Full scripting API, ect, expressions, ect.
http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/contributors/mcrg.htm

I honestly don't know if anyone actually used it in an application, I 
got
little to no feedback on it, and it never went out of beta. Perhaps it
was too complex?!

So I've moved to the conclusion that what we need is a report generator
based on SQL along the lines of Crystal Reports, DBReports, and various
other reporting packages, or even perhaps tighter integration with such
packages. Along with things like step by step Query Wizards, prebuilt
Templates, possible support for stacks as data sources, an Open
extensible scripting API so developers can write their own printing
modules, and additional integration with local databases
(Access/Valentina) perhaps we can have the ultimate cross platform 
report
generator in Rev.

is there a description in the documentation? For instance:  How can I 
use the useSystemDate in connection with the date format?

Thanks

It varies depending on the format choice:

- For prefixes and suffixes, the prefix or suffix
- For decimal numbers and scientific notation, the number of decimal 
places
- For a date, the formats short, long, system, or internet
- For percentages, the value of 100%

images

2002-06-02 Thread Till Bandi

Is there a possibility to show the color part of images when they are 
covered by the uncolored part of an other image? I would like to show 
only the colored part of a polygon, so that I con make a map where I can 
address the regions (polygons) with scripts (change the color).

Any ideas?

By the way: I was not able to reshape polygons, is that a bug or is my 
ignorance?

underlining headers

2002-05-20 Thread Till Bandi

I tried to underline the header in the revPrintText command

What I wanted is a first line

xTextx   (tab) (tab)date

and a second line with no text but a line. I don't know if it is 
possible to have two lines in the header - as far as I could see there 
is no saying in the transcript dictionary*, that this would not be 
possible – but I could also live with 1 line underlined

I worked with the following script

on mouseUp
   put pufont size= 18 XXX  tab  tab   pufont 
size= 18 \
the system date   /p/u/font into vHeader
   revShowPrintDialog true,true
   revPrintText,vHeader
end mouseUp

but this doesen't give me a line from one end of the page to the other. 
Can anyone help?

Till

* if the string is long enough it will break to line 2 but the date will 
stay on the first line, so the text gets printed over the other one.
