Say, you wanted to edit in situ text that was running along a curve, 
spline.

you would have to detect your mouse click was touching the text somehow 
( so add a feel to the text ) ...and then calculate where it was 
along the text

Hmm. That you need offset-to-caret for such text. I guess we have 
only for normal one, not for agg?

where's the agg docs ?

http://antigrain.com/doc/

Build page update with infos on last release http://www.rebol.net/builds/

and this "This is being done in preparation for the dialected rich-text 
improvements"

yeah ;-)

So we dont get a plugin, isntead write our own browser? :))

Why a browser? getting rich-text is not everything you know :-) Who 
would write parsers for all that web "standards" out there, plus 
support for various browser quirk modes? And what would you do about 
java-script? Are we going to reimplement javascript in rebol too? 
:-)

I totally forgot *you* are here :) Yes, i was joking :))

A simple REBOL-based WYSIWYG word processor is possible though. I've 
often contemplated doing one that was CSS2 / XHTML based so you can 
seperate style from content (and get an HTML editor to boot). Should 
be possible,and fast, once REBOL has rich text support.

And it will make my MDP viewer much simpler and faster.

ICarii, are you planning on adding controls to your calendar ?

yup

first ill implement clickable days and month paging

sick days ?

you can add those via the day-events :P

Allen has a nice calendar though he hasn't updated it for a while.

cool :)  I just wanted to make something in agg :)

I think he has year views etc.

nice

What's happened to flounder ?

i ended up too busy to devote much time to it :(

doing 70+ hour weeks since then

Do you know if AGG supports not rectangular view ports ?

our version doesnt

Nor apparently does the original.

are there plans to prettify DROP-DOWN and SCROLLER?

I thought of this little idea regarding the editor: Currently, it's 
depending on running a script from file, if you want to test something. 
But I was wondering if it were possible to edit data directly with 
it and just store it in memory?


Sometimes I like to debug a function without having to save it to 
a file and then run a program stored in a different file to run the 
test, e.g. Ctrl-E is useless.


It would be nice to directly in the editor, create a big function, 
say from a paste and do a few edits, press Ctrl-<something> and have 
that evaluated directly. Then you could quit the editor and use the 
function directly in the console without having to save any files.


Also if you want to re-edit the function, type in something similar 
to:


editor 'my-big-function and the editor would pop up with the function 
source and the word its bound to.

why not using a scratch-file?

!> scratch: does[editor %scratch.r]

Cal Dixon's REM (editor for Core) can be started with /function refirement 
which does exactly what you said.

scratch: func[:value][save/header %scratch.r :value [] editor %scratch.r]

missed "and use the function directly in the console"

volker, it forgets the function as soon as I return to the console

one moment

ah :-)

scratch: func['value][
 save/header %console-scratch.r either word? :value[
  reduce[to-set-word :value get value]
 ][
  :value
 ][Title: "Console-scratch"]
 launch: func[file /secure-cmd][do file]
 editor %console-scratch.r    
]
halt

^e ^q and you are back to console

I see... works ok :-) I'll see if it turns out useful, thanks

;since nobody is perfect:
scratch: func['value][
 save/header %console-scratch.r either word? :value[
  reduce[to-set-word :value get value]
 ][
  :value
 ][Title: "Console-scratch"]
 launch: func[file /secure-cmd /local err][
  if error? set/any 'err try[do file][unview/all err]
 ]
 editor %console-scratch.r    
]
scratchme: func[][]
scratch scratchme

(error->closes window)

hmm... and to get this function available at startup? I remember 
a user.r file somewhere...

desktop http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/view-root/floor.r
the right-click on view-root/user.r

thanks

scratch without args reopens editor. To get back after error. http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/scratch-editor.r

This is pretty cool! I added do-events at the end of the scratch 
script.


Now I'm running a GUI program, and I can exit to the console though 
a "halt" button in the GUI. I 'SCRATCH the function I need and CTRL-E 
the changes and I can continue working with the GUI program with 
the new changes without quitting the editor. :-)

Anyone remind me why there is no binary support within the clipboard?

There is not!
(Is this a sufficient reason for you ;-)
