Hi,
I have now hacked this in the code by myself, if anyone is interested:
1) in key.py:
- I added a new property:
"s.add(setting.Distance('keyGap', '0.2cm', descr = 'Gap between key
and keytext', usertext= 'key-text gap', formatting=True))"
- then the total box size changes:
"# total size of box
gap = s.get('keyGap').convert(painter) #added this line
symbolwidth = s.get('keyLength').convert(painter)
totalwidth = ( (maxwidth + gap + symbolwidth)*numcols +
height*(numcols-1) ) #changed height to gap here"
- writing the key text must be changed as well:
"# write key text
if showtext:
painter.setPen(textpen)
utils.Renderer(painter, font,
xpos + gap + symbolwidth, ypos,
plotter.getKeyText(num),
-1, 1).render() # changed height to gap"
- now you can change the gap between key and keytext by a property box
in the GUI.
2) Here, I only changed the width of the errorbar-ends the way I like it:
2/3 of the symbol width. A control box here would be nice too.
I would appriciate, if this would be considered by Jeremy Sanders for the next
version of Veusz. Many thanks!!
Best wishes,
Bernd
