Windows only I think.

Implemented the ability to maximise or fullscreen a GTK window

I squeezed both maximising and resizing into the dialect, but the 
expressiveness is getting tight

IIRC, you'll present Red on 09/12? (Syllable conf?)

Dec 10, GeoFreedomDay

Are your bindings ready for the show?

I hope they will be ready for the show, but they don't exist yet 
:-)

Adrenalin is the best drug to make them on ;-)

Oh, I see :-)

Thnx for the answers.

By the way, I added an extra error message when the icon file cannot 
be loaded

I have a basic binding with OSM GPS Map working

A simple OpenStreetMap browser goes like this:

#include %OSM-GPS-Map.reds

gtk-view [
	gtk-maximize
	"OSM GPS Map Browser"
	osm-gps-map ogm-new-osd
]

I've got a basic binding with LibChamplain to work, too

The code for an OSM browser is very similar

The presentation of the map bindings at GeoFreedomDay went well - 
that is, after I could coerce my Linux to display on the beamer

People immediately came up with the standard question of "Why yet 
another language?", but when I showed the GUI dialect and compared 
it to conventional development, they recognised that something special 
was offered

I'll make some screenshots tomorrow

Nice ..

Response from Twitter: "Good job. This makes even butt-ugly Gtk look 
cool."

My thoughts exactly

It seems that float support is bothering more than one RED supporter 
here, so we will see what's Doc's decision towards the priorities, 
once Doc is back ...

I've got my WebKit browser to work on my graphical version of Syllable 
Server, so I'll start using it for real browsing tasks

I've moved the GLib binding in the GTK+ binding to a separate project, 
here:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-GLib

This is now needed by every GTK binding

For your information: A small code editor including lua scripting 
(GTK + scintilla bindings)
All sources included.
Low c footprint.
A good inspiration for further RED evolution.

AKA an aspiring RED code editor

with RED scripting

Looks interesting, Steeve. Be sure to post what you find out about 
Textadept in the Editors group.

It's nicely integrated with Lua. Doc has a similar plan for Red, 
and I'm also looking in that direction

I've published the map bindings here:

Hi, I am interested into building an maintaining documentation for 
those programming languages based on REBOL.
It would be nice to have a DOCBASE for them.
What I search is:
- Someone ABLE to SETUP the Linux and the Wiki Software
- Someone which would share with me the cost of hosting.
Do you like the idea ?
Write me at [giuseppe-:-chillemi-:-eu]

I want to help with that too, when time allows, but I think we need 
the authors of the languages to be part of the decision of how it's 
done. If they all want to do it different ways (and we want their 
input), that may be difficult.

Hosting should be very inexpensive, and I am willing to help with 
that.

Hope all of the authors see the advantage of having a common infrastructure 
for documentation.

There is advantage, but also cost. I know I don't want to add any 
more tools, formats, and logins than necessary to my workflow.

I think, it's a good initiative, but I can't judge, if it's a good 
idea, because I know too little about the different variants. How 
similar/different is Red, Topaz, Boron and World, and how are they 
compared to REBOL? Would the docs help a developer, or would they 
cause more confusion? It probably depends on the form of the docs 
too. Examples would help.


I plan to write a manual for World, something similar to "The C Programming 
Language" book. And that's not a dictionary, so there is good room 
for docs by others without overlap. And also docs, which are not 
just a dictionary, like extensive examples with explanations and 
probably other kinds.

See #Boron group please.

I am trying to import zlib and had some minor success with an example 
for adler32 function.  Next was compress and now stuck on how to 
align the compress function ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT compress OF((Bytef 
*dest, uLongf *destLen, const Bytef *source, uLong sourceLen));  
 from http://www.zlib.net/manual.html#Utilityis ByteF * 
dest and Btyef * source pointers to bytes  defined was destination 
[pointer! [byte!]]     ?

AFAICT, yes.

Thanks Doc.   It is enlightening to see what can be done with Red 
import and DLLs.

Doc, any news around? :-)
