Took a look the print module this morning. The API is woefully under-documented! Solved a print issue and extended print-setting options. Formatted printing is still a long way off as the current API required Cairo to draw to a printing context which is then sent to the printer. My hunch would be that if anyone coding in Gnocl really needed sophisticated printing support, then it would be more quickly processed using a custom C module. Alternatively, export data to an Abiwidget and print out from there.
Given this module some attention today. Added some of the more package wide options to the module and created customised handler for setting the month. (For some odd reason months are are counted 0-11 whereas days are 1-31.) There's still a little more to do to this one including the addition of code to store diary details. Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful. #--------------- # calendarTest.tcl #--------------- # Author: William J Giddings # Date: 07/05/09 #--------------- #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" "$@" #--------------- package require Gnocl set cal [gnocl::calendar] $cal configure -day 8 -month 7 -year 1956 $cal configure -rowHeight 1 -colWidth 1 $ca...
