editor.markerDefinePixmap (XPM icons)?

[Jari Pennanen]

Hi!

I'm wondering how to use this editor.markerDefinePixmap, specifically the XPM images.

Following does not work, I don't get the blarg icon to sidebar, instead I get white circle:

# See wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_PixMap#Comparison_with_other_formats
blarg = [
    "16 7 2 1",
    "* c #000000",
    ". c #ffffff",
    "**..*...........",
    "*.*.*...........",
    "**..*..**.**..**",
    "*.*.*.*.*.*..*.*",
    "**..*..**.*...**",
    "...............*",
    ".............**."
]
USER_MARKER = 2
addSymbol = USER_MARKER + 1
delSymbol = USER_MARKER + 2
def testmarkers():
    # All symbols on 1 margin
    editor.setMarginMaskN(1,-1)
    
    # Create pixmap type marker
    # TODO: How do I do this? "\0".join doesn't seem to work!
    editor.markerDefinePixmap(addSymbol, "\0".join(blarg)) 
    editor.markerDeleteAll(-1)
    editor.markerAdd(5, addSymbol)
    console.write("Added symbol!\n")
    
testmarkers()

If I change USER_MARKER value it seems to always give me white circle too, quiet odd.

ed.markerDefinePixmap(24, '''/* XPM */
static char * test_xpm = {
"32 16 2 1",
" c None",
". c #F08000", // color used for dithering
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ",
"                                ",
If you take a look at this script from the Script Showcase, you'll how Scintilla expects it.  It expects it as a C struct, so like this:

editor.markerDefinePixmap(24, '''/* XPM */
static char * test_xpm[] = {
"16 7 2 1",
    "* c #000000",
    ". c #ffffff",
    "**..*...........",
    "*.*.*...........",
    "**..*..**.**..**",
    "*.*.*.*.*.*..*.*",
    "**..*..**.*...**",
    "...............*",
    ".............**." };
\0''')

I've just tried it, and it shows up ok.  You might need to extend the width of the margin though.

Cheers,
Dave.
