Online examples and scripts

[Davide Bucci]

Dear Nicola,
first of all, let me thank you for your work, I think that a Javascript reader for drawings in the FidoCadJ format will be very useful for a lot of online communities.

I am sometimes having a look at the code (even if I am not a Javascript developer) and I see that the work continues steadily.

Is there a way to run an example on my browser?

BTW here is a possible test code:

It contains all the graphic primitives, all layers (which partially overlap) and symbols from all the libraries supposed to be loaded. You also find deformed, inclined and mirrored text.

Best regards,

Hi Davide,

if you want to try any example, you can check out a copy of the repository

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/fidoreadjs/svn/ fidoreadjs-svn

and then open the HTML files under ./trunk/examples/drawing-elements/* in your browser.

BTW, if you want to add other examples, I can assign write access to the repository to you.

Thanks for the above test, I'll use it for sure. At the moment only 4 graphic primitives are implemented, so it's a bit early for trying that. :)

[Davide Bucci]

Dear Nicola,
I have tried them and the results are indeed very promising.
Maybe, you might want to consider to set up a webpage showing them, to show what the project can do. Concerning the example I indicated above, the interest is that by observing it you have an immediate view of the development status of the project.

BTW, in the recent versions of FidoCadJ (from 0.24.3), I upgraded the way the spline curves are drawn. The result should be much more accurate, so if you want to test them be sure you are comparing the results to this version.

Thumbs up and best regards,

D.

Hi Davide,

Maybe, you might want to consider to set up a webpage

Yes, I'm going to set up it soon; there is already a first draft, but it needs a better look.

in the recent versions of FidoCadJ (from 0.24.3), I upgraded
the way the spline curves are drawn. The result should be much
more accurate, so if you want to test them be sure you are
comparing the results to this version.

I have just updated the FreeBSD port, so now all the image are produced by the last version of FidoCadJ. Besides I'll modify the standard Makefile so that it can automatically put the FidoCadJ version used in the sample pages.

Thanks for your comment.

Ciao.

Dear Nicola,
thanks for the update of the FreeBSD port, this is a very useful stuff.
For the webpage about the FidoReadJS, I am eager to have a look at it?
From what I have seen, you are a better webmaster than I am, but may I suggest to adopt something with a look in some sort similar to this one (it is just a very simple HTML+CSS site):

http://fidocadj.sourceforge.net

maybe for colors and fonts, it can provide a certain "family look".

Best

[Davide Bucci]

Dear Nicola,
I really like Catullus, too :-)
Just notice that the TE primitive is the obsolete text one. FidoCadJ does not use it any more and converts it ro TY, which is far more flexible.
Wonderful work, in any case!

Cheers,

D.

[Davide Bucci]

Dear Nicola,
someone has tried independently to do something in JS to parse FidoCadJ drawings. He contacted me today via this message:

http://www.electroyou.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=46069&p=505757#p505756

Would it be possible to merge the two projects or, at more reasonably, to benefit from what Ifrit_Prog did there?

Cheers,

D.

[Nicola Vitale]

Hi Davide,

Pardon for the delay of the answer, but I didn't receive any notification about your replies.

I had a look at what Ifrit_Prog has done, and it's very impressive, also because it was written in only two days. :-o

I don't know if we can merge them, for a couple of reasons: 1) mine is not there yet, 2) he has chosen KineticJS as graphic framework, that uses the canvas element for its output, while I had decided to use one with an SVG output, like snap.svg, even if at the moment all the examples were made with PaperJS (canvas).

Said that, if Ifrit_Prog needs a little help to complete his script, I can do it, and at this point maybe we can also close this project here at SF.

Ciao.

[Davide Bucci]

Hi Nicola,
no problem!

In my opinion, you should definitively try do discuss with Ifrit_Prog and with fairyvilje, who recently joined to the discussion on ElectroYou. Fairyvilje has also done a few commits to the FidoReadPHP project a few months ago.

Cheers,

Davide

[Nicola Vitale]

Hi Davide,

I and Ifrit_prog already talked about that, and decided to write a new script from scratch using snap.svg. If Fairyvilje want to join us, he's welcome! :)

[Davide Bucci]

Dear Nicola,
that's great news!

I am eager to see the results of your joint efforts.

Cheers,

D.
