Hi guys, I'm using sourceforge to manage my CSS modules now. Hopefully I've succesfully added myself to the list, or I'm typing this in vain... -Allen __________________ Allen Day all...@cs... 1.516.367.6904 |

Hi Allen, you are succesfully subscribed :-) Could you please expand on what your goals are for CSS.pm, how it works, what it does, etc... ? -- _______________________________________________________________________ Robin Berjon <ro...@kn...> -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it." -- R.

I intend to use it hand-in-hand with CGI.pm. In my work, I am often making dynamic HTML and image documents that need to be styled. I thought it would be nice to put all the style configuration into one CSS file, and do the HTML and images from there. Right now I think this is all it's useful for. It can be used to manage PerlMagick and GD images easily. I haven't really thought about what else it should do. Any ideas/suggestions would be welcome. -Allen On Fri, 17 Aug 2001, Robin Berjon wrote: > On Monday 13 August 2001 22:04, Allen Day wrote: > > I'm using sourceforge to manage my CSS modules now.

Could you provide an example ? > I haven't really thought about what else it should do. Any > ideas/suggestions would be welcome. The single suggestion I have for the moment would be to change the namespace. CSS.pm would normally be reserved for the base class, or all encompassing system, or something like that, relating to CSS. That's why there is no XML.pm for instace, because none of the modules there are generic enough (though there may be one at some point). -- _______________________________________________________________________ Robin Berjon <ro...@kn...> -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Heisenberg may have been here. |

I'll see if I can come up with something more appropriate. > Sorry for being thick, but I'm still not sure I understand what it does > correctly. Could you provide an example ? Say you have an array of text that represents a 1-dimensional series, and you want some of that series to be highlighted yellow. You can just put <SPAN> tags around the text, and get your yellow highlighting by defining the class (or id) of the tag. ---------------- <-- highlight section ATCGTTAACTAGACCTAACTTGGGCCTAAACGATACCCCCTTGGAACAAAAA <-- whole series Now say you have a GD image, and you want to draw a line that represents this same series, with the same part in yellow, and the rest black. Calculating which part of the line should be a different color is just arithmetic. To make the yellow section yellow, you have to do something like: $fg = GD->color(255,255,0); GD->line($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,$fg); What my module allows you to do is configure this in my.css as: .highlight { background-color: yellow; } and then do something more flexible, like: $css = CSS->new(-source=>'my.css'); $fg = GD->color($css->style('.highlight'); GD->line($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,$fg); and still obtain the same result. -Allen __________________ Allen Day all...@cs... 1.516.367.6904 |
