- Short: Flexible Text PLUGIN
- Author: jason@fsel.com (Jason R. Hulance)
- Type: dev/e
-
- (This version fixes a bug in the height calculation...)
-
- text_plug.m defines a new text PLUGIN for use with EasyGUI. It has
- several advantages over a normal TEXT gadget:
-
- 1) It only renders within its allocated space, even if you change the
- text. (If you change the text of a normal TEXT gadget to a long
- string then it will overwrite the window border.)
- 2) You can specify the fonts to use for the label and the main string.
- 3) In conjunction with the supplied fonts.m module, you can easily
- use the user's preferred default font (fixed width) or screen font
- (usually proportional).
- 4) If you resize the GUI, more/less of the string will be shown, as
- possible.
-
- An example program is supplied which uses an ASL requester for you to
- select a font. The use's preferred default font and screen font are
- also used in the example.
-
- Sources are included!
