[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

It should work.. in theory

what happens when you "ld -lcpdf"

Do you get a library not found or a bunch of unresolved symbols?

[Rlib-users] Re: small patch to improve the compilation of rlib.

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi,

Patch looks good

Would you be so kind as to read this stuff
http://rlib.sicompos.com/community.php
and then sign
http://rlib.sicompos.com/copyright_form.pdf

and send it to/ or fax it to us...

Fax is 215-489-2769

We have the dual license for many purposes... aside from the legal mumbo
jumbo.. we also sell commercial licenses for rlib (if you code is not
GPL'd...)  basically you give us copyright.. and we give it right back
to you.. this is the same deal is (Ximian, Troll Tech (QT), mysql, open
office.... )  Your code will always be GPL'd.. and SICOM does all RLIB
work publically in sourceforge's CVS.. and we have no non GPL'd code add
on's or anything

Also.. getting into debian would be great.. thanks for your help!

P.S.. I'm not the only rlib developer anymore so in the future I prefer
that we keep things on list.. :)

Hi there, i  can=B4t t install Rlib in Freebsd 5.1. I had installed =

[Rlib-users] Format Strings

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hey All,

If you know anything about i18n or english is not your first language
please read this:

A little while ago Everton noticed a problem w/ rlib formatting
numbers.. right now rlib can "commatize" a number.. but this doesn't
work out too well for other number systems or currency's

So... I went digging around and in C I found strfmon

       #include <monetary.h>
       ssize_t strfmon(char *s, size_t max, const char *format,
       ...);

Which looks like it will do the trick.... along w/ a rlib_set_locale

so I think I'm going to have to change around the structure of format=""

Currently you can do a "%s" or "%d" or.. all the fun date stuff
depending on weather your data is STRING, DATE or NUMBER

However.. the syntax for strfmon is kinda screwey....

sample format string: [%^=*#6n]

so for numbers I think I'm going to do this:

%d and %m

and only one can be in the format string.. %d for numbers.. and %m for
money

and %m would have %m and %!m where the ! means omit the currency
symbol... and %^m would me omit the grouping symbol.. ofcourse you could
do: %!^m

Sound good to everyone?

Re: [Rlib-users] I am trying to install rlib 1,1,4 in debian woody

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi,

I don't know anything about debian.. but it sounds like you need to
somehow
get libxml-devel package.. or what ever debian might call it...

Just the library isn't good enough because rlib needs the header files
and stuff

It's probably a problem w/ the CONTENT-TYPE string or CONTENT-LENGTH

and are you using the exact example from the betabook??

Hi,

@ SICOM we agree we want to have this type of feature in RLIB.. more in
the PDF for us.. but we always do the other formats to be consistent.

Everton pointed out that RLIB doesn't span memo fields correctly yet...
so I need to make that happen before I can start to worry about "boxing"
stuff.... so give us a little time.. but expect it to be in before the

Re: [Rlib-users] memo text

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Well.. it won't work **yet**

I knew someone would find this bug sooner or later... kinda actually
figured you would ;)

I think I need to add a property to the fields like rowspan="yes" and
maybe rowspanbreakchar=" ".. so I know what char to wrap it on.. this
should not be too hard for me to do... I'll look into this after I fix
your other 10 bugs you reported today ;)

[Rlib-users] memo text

[Everton L. B. <ev...@fa...>]

hi,
i have a large text (memo) and i want print it on rlib pdf report.
but what 'break' chars to use in pdf output?

* Example:
Original text (it's a field value from postgre datasource):
abcdefg[chr(13)][chr(10)]hijklmnopqr...

TXT output (ok):
abcdefg
hijklmnopqr

PDF output (fail):
abcdefg  hijklmnopqr...


I need that pdf be like txt, how?

I dont know if i'm correct about the breakheader newpage and

- if i put newpage=yes and headernewpage=yes the breakheader is printed 
two times from second page on. this problem occurs with all databases.

- if i put newpage=yes rlib generate a blank page at end of report.

Perhaps auto wrapping and spanning aren't necessary in the
context of precision layout like rlib uses. After all, the
objective is only to make certain rlib text output optionally
reST compatible. This way, each line wouldn't grow a dependency
on previous and subsequent lines for floating bordering. Note
that the exterior borders have no difference to internal
borders, which is convenient for the implementation.

- normal specification of column widths should result in good
  alignment, user can tweak alignment if reST column spanning is
  desired. Row spanning wouldn't be as simple.
- header property, affects lower border style.
- line may need a height (in lines) property, user is
  responsible for specifying height, truncate overflow?
- specifying text/data cell width to align in a reSt compatible
  fashion is probably OK to ask the user to handle in the
  report definition.
- default single space side margin property for cell? Reports
  that are tight on space may wish to omit margin space.

Re: [Rlib-users] Re: Text-mode tables with borders in reStructuredText style?

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Well...

Right now rlib has a concept of "Output".. which contains "Images",
"HorizontalLines", and "Lines".. "Lines" in turn contain "Text" and
"Data".. Its as simple as that at the moment... You are asking for the
ability to "Box" items... mainly "Text" and "Data" in lines.. so the 
"Line" we would add a property box="..some style..".. 

does this make sense?

Therefor we would not add another output filter

sound kinda ok?

To implement this we would have to first settle in on what exactly the
properties of boxing would be.. Chet.. Bob Kratz... any suggestions?

Ok.. sounds like a input bug.. not a engine bug.. good :).. I'll set my
self up w/ your data in a bit and take a look

Um.. not unless you are actually developing RLIB source :)

My new guess is because of the failure we are freeing something we are
not supposed to.. could you try taking out the rlib_free and see if the
problem still exists? My guess is it won't.. let me know

[Rlib-users] Re: rlib-1.1.5 build problem

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi,

I had to work around PHP doing stuff like that before.. but we use swig
to generate the python bindings.. if you don't need python compile rlib
with --disable-python to get around this mess.. if you do need python..
you could try getting the latest version of swig (www.swig.org) and then
in rlib/libsrc do:

swig -python rlib.i

it makes a file rlib_wrap.c 

copy it to rlib/bindings/python/python.c and try to compile again.. let
me know if it works

Also.. I'm not the only RLIB developer so could we keep discussions on
list please: rli...@li...

thanks

- Bob
