Actually, change 2 lines and I think it'll work better:
Line 932, change to:  updateGridRect(rectangle [gridLeft(), tPadding +
tNeededTop, mWidth - tPadding - mMaxYLabelWidth, gridBottom()])

Line 1061 change to: fill text tString at left of rectangle [tYRight +
gridPadding(),tY-20,tYRight + mMaxYLabelWidth + gridPadding(),tY+20] on
this canvas

I still misunderstand about this, and that I've added code that probably

If you do a diff of the stock lcb and the lcb in the zip archive, you can

some of the numbers I poked in there should probably be increased a little,

Re: Is anyone using tsNet external with LCserver?

2018-05-27 Thread Charles Warwick via use-livecode
Hi Matthias,

You should just need to copy the relevant tsNet external (for Linux x64 it is 
tsNet-x64.so) into the external directory from your normal commercial desktop 
installation.

After that, just make sure you call tsNetInit before making any other tsNet 
calls.

Regards,

Charles

The source file is graph.lcb, and where it's stored depends on what 
operating system you're working with.


/Extensions/com.livecode.widget.linegraph

so on my linux system, I've got it in
/opt/livecodecommunity-9.0.0.x86_64/Extensions...

and obviously it will be in different places on Windows and OSX.

But beware that coding in LCB is quite different from "normal" LiveCode 
coding. Copy the source file, put it into its own folder somewhere, edit 
it (it's a text file), then open it in the extension builder and test 
the changes. Have fun.

Re: Windows 10 and LC9.0

2018-05-27 Thread Monte Goulding via use-livecode
Hi Folks

I just wanted to chime in here on a couple of things.

Regarding the windows day I am trying to do as much as I can on Windows now. 
It’s a bit easier now that 8.x has been EOLd there’s only one toolchain to deal 
with. Having said that though the way we work on LiveCode and the way you work 
with LiveCode are completely different so good bug reports are essential to 
getting what you are seeing fixed.

I currently have a couple of PRs open that should resolve some of the issues 
people are seeing so hopefully in 9.0.1 people won’t see the slow typing in the 
SE and when nudging lots of controls.

Regarding other issues here it would be really helpful if people could quote 
bug numbers when discussing problems they are having so that we can get them 
sorted.

Cheers

Monte

Hi,
is anyone already using tsNet external with Livecode server? If so, is there 
something i should take care of when trying to “install” / copy the external to 
my custom installation?

Unfortunately the commercial LC server builds still do not contain the external.

OK well this may or may not have been before my time with the company so I’m 
not sure what as involved. If you find your patch needs to touch scripts in 
binary stacks then I would recommend the following:

- ensure there is a bug/enhancement report for what you want to do
- open up a report requesting the scripts you want to edit be turned into 
script only stacks and mention you will fix the original report if this is 
done. This will need to be done by someone on the team but as it doesn’t take 
long, we want to do it anyway and we like to help out people that are 
contributing we should be able to do it fairly quickly.
- wait for the scriptification then make your patch to that.

If your patch involves changes to the controls on binary stacks then the best 
we can offer at the moment is asking you to write a script that makes the 
changes. That will actually help us if we have a merge conflict and is a 
process we have used once or twice even within the team. For example when 
legacy inks were removed I wrote a script to fix them and we applied it to 
multiple branches die to a merge conflict.

The best thing you can do is communicate with the team what you would like to 
work on and we will help in whatever way we can. Gitter is a good venue for 
such discussions.

There are some mergExt externals that were always open source and still are. 
The rest of it fit into Indy and Business to add product differentiation.

Not necessarily true either. There are a number of factors that are involved in 
determining what makes it into our fortnightly sprint. Ali is probably the one 
to discuss that though.

When I wrote the list of things that were broken I was writing specifically

I haven't responded so far because I thought the issues were 
Windows-related and I do development on Mac. There is something going on 
that apparently doesn't affect my setup because the only issue in your 
report I've seen (and it's minor) is the property inspector not resizing 
correctly when you change panes.


I can drag-drop controls from the palette, resize the message box 
whenever I like, and the script editor works fine for me. I haven't had 
a crash recently until yesterday when I was implementing RSA encryption 
and I did something wrong in my handler. So I'm trying to think what I 
do differently that doesn't cause the problems you're seeing.


I suspect what it boils down to is that I don't use the project browser 
because the app browser is better suited to my workflow. And some of the 
new scripting options are disabled, the only ones I use are Bracket 
Completion, Control Structure Completion, and Autoformatting.


It would be interesting to see if those who are having issues still have 
the same problems if the Project Browser is closed and some of the 
scripting options are turned off. While it's true that users shouldn't 
have to do that, it would at least give the team an idea of why some 
people have trouble while others don't. Once identified, they could 
address the issues.

Graphing Solution...

2018-05-27 Thread Glen Bojsza via use-livecode
Hello,

I am trying to find a graphing solution that will support dual y - axis
line plots.

Both sets of data need to be plotted on the same graph so the left Y scale
is used for one set of data that is plotted and the right Y scale is for
the other set of data.

>From what I have found neither ChartMaker or ChartsEngine support this type
of plot.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

Thanks for the clarification, Monte. 

But just to clarify in return (respectfully), when I spoke of IDE changes I was 
specifically referring to the Project Browser (omitted from your quote). As the 
greatest extent of items within the IDE that need fixing are GUI with the 
majority of their code within their respective stacks. I’d started on the 
project browser back n it’s early days but quickly got shut down by two of LCs 
former coders. I even created a stack comparator but they weren’t interested 
(surprisingly).

I appreciate, though, that google had been a bit rubbish at notifying, mainly 
because they relied mostly on notifying when people logged in but our API had 
silent mode on so we never heard. In my defence however, oAuth and similar have 
been under review by every provider for the last three years due to security, 
so perhaps having looked during those years for anything that uses oAuth or 
similar to ensure they are up to date. Now is probably a good opportunity to 
check all of the other ones. 

I hope this doesn’t touch a nerve, but why hasn’t the mergext stuff been set as 
open source also. This would be useful to the community with regards building 
extensions for LiveCode (similar to the new sockets library).

And then we just need to wait several months potentially before that fix sees 
the light of day. Not helpful!

Cheers.

Re: Windows 10 and LC9.0

2018-05-27 Thread Erik Beugelaar via use-livecode
Maybe an idea for the mothership to setup an survey like they did with the 
HTML5 campaign.

Survey containing for example questions about:

1. Percentage of total LiveCode developers mainly using LiveCode on Windows 
platform against Mac OSX platform;
2. Percentage of total LiveCode developers mainly targeting Android on Windows 
platform against Mac OSX platform targeting Android;
3. Suggestions of making the IDE working solid under Windows platform;
5. Priority list of issues;
5. Etc etc

It has no use to look backward dealing with technical issues you couldn’t fixed 
by yourself, my wise father always told me (senior engineer Electronics) to put 
all strength together so you all can move forward, in this case to make a 
stable working version 9.x of LiveCode IDE under Windows/OSX.

Just my 2cents,
Erik Beugelaar
