Tried setting the textSize of the field just before printing, no change. Looked for this source code of the RTF file, found a reference to a size 12 but am trying to figure out how to change it.

As someone suggested I could not trust the visuals of the RTF file, it did not translate perfectly into the field. So I made adjustments where the RTF file itself is wonky but the field looks great. Then printed the card using Jacques handy dandy script from the archives: put the rectangle of cd 1 of stack "myStack" into myRectangle set itemDelimiter to "," put item 1 of myRectangle & the itemDelimiter into myXYstartpoint put item 2 of myRectangle after myXYstartpoint put item 3 of myRectangle & the itemDelimiter into myXYendpoint put item 4 of myRectangle after myXYendpoint print cd 1 of stack " myStack " from myXYstartpoint to \ myXYendpoint into 10,10,600,800 And the final printout has text size 2-3 times bigger than it should be! Maybe I should be setting the printSize (or whatever it's called?) Aaarrggghhhh! Shari L.

So in the RTF file I reset the text size to 10. And when I put did the things and put it into the final field, it turned into size 11! But now the doc is a bit wonky... Shari L.

Open file tFile for read Read from file tFile until end Close file tFile Replace xyz with abc in it Set the rtfText of fld 1 to it ALMOST perfect. Except that nagging one size bigger text size. If I manually select text of the fld and change it to the right size, it's gorgeous. Checking the textsize of the fld, it is correctly set. Opening the RTF doc normally in Wordpad or Word, the font size is correctly set. Looked at the rtfText of the fld, no mentions of font sizes in the hidden tags.

This was a very simple one page doc, and Word turned it into an HTML doc, plus a folder with two other files in it. I read the files and they were irrelevant so I trashed them, and the HTML file went poof with them! Unbelievable on Word's part. I love my Mac at home. I use Pagespinner to create HTML docs, and can write HTML from scratch. Pagespinner is more of a helper, it doesn't assume anything. Clean and crisp. Doesn't help me here, but it's a happy memory to start the afternoon with :-) Back to the template... cross your fingers...

Working at the office, so I'm doomed to used Word, Notepad and Wordpad. Notepad doesn't do any formatting worth a darn, so I nixed it. The original doc was created in Word, and I tried opening it in word and saving as HTML. Word in its arrogance added more garbage than I could have dreamed possible. I tried saving from Word as RTF. I tried copying the text from the Word doc and pasting it into a newly created Wordpad doc, and then trying to work with it. All of these looked great when I opened the file directly, but when Rev opened the files and read from them and set the htmltext of someField to the retrieved text, there were extra characters at the beginning of the field. I tried getting the offset of the first word of the doc then deleting everything before the first word in the field, and ALL text in the field was deleted. So I tried putting the text manually into a field, intending not to use external files at all. Got it looking perfect with center, u Shari Coxford 2008-08-21T15:58:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/113337 Okay, have tried eight ways to Sunday to make this work. Tried it using an RTF file, HTML file, TXT file. TXT doesn't allow formatting which defeated the purpose. For RTF I created a nice doc and saved it as RTF. Read it from disk, changed the data, set the htmltext of someField to it, and garbage appears before the doc text, and prints with it. Ditto for HTML. Am going to attempt to manually put the template text into a field, retrieve the field and do it. Will keep you posted.

I need to get from LaTex to XML to InDesign. The LaTex format is straight forward, and writing a parser for it can be done. The job we have in mind will not necessary include all the complex LaTex mark up for complex math. This is simple documentation. But before I begin re-inventing the wheel I was wondering if anyone else has any LaTex parsing libs already built. I could repurpose them. The existing tools produce XML that is too generic, or way over kill requiring "Super Nerd" skills to install complex unix low level bash scripts, as with most things, getting from A to G with Revolution, \begin{quip}{is that the name of our code now? :-) ?} will probably faster and simpler. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution-1W37MKcQCpJ21N0xZs15Ng< at >public.gmane.org Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution Sivakatirswami 2008-08-21T00:35:30 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/113323 If I've got a field with nicely formatted text, some bold, some underlined, etc., is there a way from within a script to change a word in that field without losing the formatting?

We have a graphics artist in our company who is trying to create some program icons, and for some reason the Mac icns file just isn't working quite right. Revolution builds the standalone without errors, but the icon does not appear on the app after being built. The icns file is included in the bundle, and selecting it in the Finder does show the image correctly. What would cause the icon from not showing on the app bundle itself? Something in the way the icon was created, or is it something in Revolution? We've not had trouble with icons in the past. The artist is using a program called Axialis IconWorkshop to create both Win and Mac icons. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to run a shell command in the background, write the shell script to a text file then execute it with the launch command." But cannot get it to work. What I did: 1. put the tempname & ".sh" into shell_file I think "sh" is the correct suffix, since the FInder show the "SHELL" icon for this file. 2. set the filetype to "" 3. wrote the correct shell command to url("file:" & shell_file) 4. Tried: launch shell_file ## seems to be the right syntax but see below... launch document shell_file and even: launch shell_file with "/usr/bin" No chance. Then I tried to execute the file directly in the terminal and got: Permission denied What can I do to get it to work in Rev? Thanks in advance!

Printing the image in original size is ok. But after resizing the image to a smaller size the quality of the foto is not acceptable any more. It is roughly pixled and has a dramatical loss of quality, though it got smaller in size. Comparing it to resizing the same image in photoshop, shows, that it must not be like this. Obviously Rev has no algorithm for resizing image data!? I have no idea, if I have any control over the imagedata when resizing. Any ideas out there? Any experiences?

Thanks - Phil Davis 2008-08-19T21:13:21 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/113268 This would seem to be an easy thing to do with a GUI IDE but I can't seem to get it right. I want to draw some vertical lines on a form that are thicker than one pixel (this is where I'm having problems). I can't do it (accurately) with the mouse so I'm drawing a pretty close approximation of vertical and then I want to use the property inspector to "correct" the line and make it vertical. The problem is if I move the bottom of the line, the top moves. If I move the top, the bottom moves. It seems to be trying to create a line inside the corners of a rectangle and therefore, I can never get a truly vertical line. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here? For what it's worth, I'm trying to put on lines that are somewhere around 6 to 8 pixels "thick." Thanks!

So far, I seem to have fixed the MaxOSX issues for revBrowser and am fixing my path problems. And on windows I have the path fixed but still have a naming issue i.e. a .png is being shown in my field but on OSx it does not so I have to fix this. As far as revBrowser on windows is concerned, it loads the external, I check on a built standalone for the instances and there is one. Also I do not get an error on loading the browser external. BUT, It seems however that the browser window while it does load, can not be actually seen on the screen and if I mouse over the area where it is supposed to load I get feedback (for instance the tooltip on a google link) but the window is blank visually. I think this might be due to the fact that I use a window shape for the stack. Is there a workaround for this? Any ideas on a fix? Another issue I have is when I start a player with a video Thomas McGrath III 2008-08-19T16:22:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/113260 How can I export a web page as PDF using the internal browser of Revolution?

I'm now using RR 2.9.0 for most of my work. I've returned to an app I created as a standalone I think with RR2.8.1 (it was a long time ago) and I'm running it on a Mac with Leopard 10.5.4. Everything works as expected, except that when I pick the Help menu on the main menu bar, the name 'Help' hilites when clicked, as expected, but then it stays hilited even after the menu action is completed: completion consisting of closing a window with instructions which had opened when the menu item was chosen. The hilitie only vanishes when I click on another menu. None of the other menus suffers from this problem. Can anyone explain this? Also by Mac convention (presumably), the Help menu now contains a search field as well as the 'Help' item which I programmed. Can I do anything to suppress this? I think it will just confuse my users (schoolchildren) as the search can lead into g Graham Samuel 2008-08-19T10:41:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/113241 Hello, Win XP, Rev 2.9. I just detected that revdb_connect has problems with special chars in the db path. When having a special sign - in my case german umlaut - the revdb_connect fails. A path with standard chars works perfect. I coded: put revdb_connect("sqlite",gPfadDB & "lexikon.db",,,,) into gConID where the path in gPfadDB has a german umlaut. I also tested the standalone with the same effect. Is it really that I have to tell my customers they can't use german chars in their installation path or is there any workaround?
