• Trampoline! 0.5.1 released

  Trampoline!(C) - Helping Acrobat(R) documents leap off the Tk canvas Version 0.5.1 - Code fix release What is it? Trampoline! is a nearly pure-Tcl library extension that generates an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) document based upon the content of a Tk canvas. The intent of this extension is to provide a "modern" replacement for the Tk canvas widget command postscript, which generates a Postscript document based upon the content of a Tk canvas. Trampoline! is striving to be compliant with Adobe PDF Reference version 1.4. Trampoline! 0.5.1 is a code fix release. No new features are added to this release of Trampoline!, but a number of changes have been made to allow proper PDF document generation on both Unix and Microsoft Windows platforms. The PDF document generated is also more compliant with the PDF standard. The generated test document can now be read sucessfully and without complaint by Adobe Acroread 5.0.8, Xpdf 2.02pl1, and Ghostview (gv) 3.5.8. Details on the changes made for this release of Trampoline! can be view in the file ChangeLog.txt. The Trampoline! library is loaded using the command package require trampoline which creates the ::pdf namespace. Though there are a number of supporting functions within the namespace, the only one that is currently directly usable is the ::pdf::generate command. This command has two parameters. The first is the path to the canvas widget. The second is the name of the file that will hold the PDF document. More parameters and options will be added as the package matures. The example script provided with the distribution can be used as a guide to using Trampoline!. As the package matures, the example script will change in order to demonstrate the various features of the Trampoline! library. Trampoline! 0.5 features and limitations Trampoline! is written for Tcl/Tk 8.4 or later. While it was developed and tested on a computer running Slackware Linux 9.1, some testing has also been done on compters running Microsoft Windows operating systems. Trampoline! should work on any platform that support Tcl/Tk and (optionally) the Img extension. Testers are encouraged to try Trampoline! on their platform. Reports of success or problems are welcome. Trampoline! supports all canvas item types, but not every item option, as yet. The Img extension is used to capture the Tk widgets displayed within canvas window items. This is why Trampoline! is described as being a "nearly pure-Tcl" extension. If the user does not plan on having canvas window items within the canvas, the Img extension does not need to be loaded. Trampoline! will still function properly as long as no window items are on the canvas. Note that all canvas coordinates must be specified in pixels. Future goals and Feedback Work still needs to be done in adding feature options to Trampoline!. Eventually, Trampoline! will have as many of the commands and options of the canvas postscript command has as is feasible. Unique commands and options related to PDF document generation will also be added as warranted. An effort is also underway to refactor the extension into Tk-independent and Tk-dependent components. The goal is to eventually have PDF document generation independent of any Tk commands. These functions would be placed in an extension called TclPDF. The Tk-dependent functions would call the PDF functions to generate a document. These functions would stay in the Trampoline! extension. Both libraries would share the ::pdf namespace, with Trampoline! acting as an add-on to TclPDF. It is also hoped that at some future date Trampoline! would become part of tklib and TclPDF would become part of tcllib. For comment and suggestions, I can be contacted at mcody <at> users.sourceforge.net. Availablity Trampoline! is available in gziped tar file format for the Unix environment and zip file format for the Microsoft Windows environment. It can be obtained from the Trampoline! home page and SourceForge Summary page: Home page: http://trampoline.sourceforge.net SourceForge Summary page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/trampoline Enjoy!
