World: r3wp

another one bug, if the size of the gob is previously set to 0x0, 
size-text is entering in an eternal loop.
gob: make gob! [size: 0x0 text: ["test"]]
size-text gob

i wonder how th

i wonder how the VID can work currently

size-text is used by some styles

Actually, not.

In VID, Size-text is only used to change the y coordinate of a gob, 
which means the bug has never been traced.

yes, I've not noticed the problem before. Now that I look at it, 
it seems to be constantly about 2 chars too narrow and a tad too 
short in height.

actually less than 2 chars.

That  sounds like a very high priority bug to me.

I agree

probably something Cyphre needs to fix.

Could you post the 2 bugs ?

Yes, however I think they need to be more exact. It looks like it 
could be related to the old rich text bug I saw a long time ago.

because of that i can't progress in my rich-text editor ;-)

exact = test with different font sizes and string lengths to see 
if the error is constant.

the error is constant, i tried several font and several para

The original report.

OTOH it may not be related.

ok, thanks. I'll write up the report.

thanks

btw. are there any margins to adjust? could it be that?

i don't think so, the margin and origin are too low to explain the 
gap

i tried with a margin of 2x2 and an origin of 2x2, but what is missing 
is 30-50 pixels

then the error is not constant. I experienced an error of about 2-4 
pixels here.

try with a big font

hmmmm.... seems you're right. By removing origin and margin, i got 
the correct size.
Arghhhh, it was not a bug actually

Forget the bug Henrik, thanks for your help.

A good evolution would have size-text taking in account origin and 
margin

no problem and yes, that could be a good idea.

Heh, Steeve.  You are working on a rich text editor too, huh? 


Are you using a single face, gob and draw, faces and gobs, just gobs 
or something entirely different?

1/ I mix several gobs of all types (effect draw text color). Basicaly, 
drawings can be mixed with texts.

2/ only gobs which are modified are reconstructed, it should be fast 
to insert modify text.

3/ The structure of gobs is build using an external  grammar (with 
parse), depending of the source file type. The parser convert the 
source text into a DOM structure,  which is converted into a gobs 
structure further usings a style grammar (external too).

4/ It will be a verstatil richtext editor. By changing of external 
grammars (basically a set of parse rules), we change the rendering.

5/ The grammar for a specific markup langage will be tiny. Currently, 
the grammar of makedoc2 is less than 2 Kb.

6/ In theory, easy conversion between different makup language could 
be done by the engine (makedoc <-> postscript <-> pdf ...)

7/ After makedoc2 rules will be ok, I'll build a grammar for rebol 
sources of course.

Sounds like a pretty awesome engine.  Can't wait to play with it. 
=D

Is there a way to complement bitsets in R3 ?
I liked the NOT proposal in parse, but it's not done yet.

Theoretically you could build a complement set in R2 and just copy 
the bitset to your R3 script but I think that will cause you some 
problems with unicode, which, as I understand it, is why complement 
has been removed in R3.

Currently, i do this, but...

no-chars: make bitset! 256
foreach c "^/^-" [append no-chars c]
no-chars: complement no-chars

geez...
drop and off don't work in rich-text

known bug

Fuck !

sorry

:-) I'm not sure if there is a workaround.

Generally we'll have to talk to Cyphre one day. His bug list is getting 
quite large.

workaround...

bye bye my rich-text engine

another one project fail, my speciality....

Drop and Off?  What are you talking about?

used to discard previous commands in rich-text blocks (like bold, 
underline, italic)

Ah...  I'm sure they'll fix that eventually...

eventually, mwahahahaha

I'm building my rich text editor on the gob/face level so that won't 
be bothering me. Getting this parser right is proving to be tricky 
though!

eh ? i don't understand why you are not impacted...

when i talk about rich-text, i mean gob/text, so you are impacted

me too, i create my own gobs
