ProPak1 Version 1.00 © 1990 INOVATRONICS, Inc. Thank you for purchasing CanDo ProPak1. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed creating it! Below are some notes for some of the programs which we didn't have time to put into the finished documentation. PaintBox: When you first load the PaintBox Deck into CanDo, it opens a screen in the background. CanDo's MainPanel will appear over Workbench, and the screen will be behind Workbench. You can analyze this first Card if you like, but it simply creates an initial screen, saves it to a PictureBuffer called "FirstImage", and then performs a NextCard in the AfterStartup. The real meat of the PaintBox is in the next Card, called "RealPainter". Layout EditorTool: The Layout Editor Tool contains three commands which are not documented in the manual. These commands may be placed as part of the text to be laid out. They have the effect of changing the colors and style of the text which follows them. The commands, surrounded by the "«" and "»" characters, are entered into the text to be printed. To type the "«" character, hold down the ALT key and press 9. To type the "»" character, hold down the ALT and press 0. The three commands which can be used within the text are: «Pen a,b» This changes the values of PenA and PenB which are used to display the text. This command, like the following commands, is typed directly with the text to be displayed. For example, the following text may be typed into the document of the Layout Editor Tool: The letter «Pen 2,0» a «Pen 1,0» is a different color. The letter "a" will be drawn using color register 2, while the rest of the letters would be in color 1. The default colors are «Pen 1,0» and may be changed with this command, or through the option in the EditorTool. «DrawMode Normal|Jam1|Jam2|Complement|Inverse» This changes the manner in which text is drawn to the screen. The drawmode options are the same as described in the CanDo HowTo Book at the bottom of page 6-31. «Style [Plain][Bold][Underline][Italic][Ghosted]» This changes the style of the text being displayed. These options are the same as described for the SetPrintStyle command on page 6-33 of the CanDo HowTo Book. CrossRef: The CrossRef utility uses the following ToolTypes: CrossRefProgram = "pathfile" This ToolType specifies the file name (including it path) where the CrossRef utility will find the 'DeckCrossRef' program. By default, this is set to "C:DeckCrossRef". Source = "pathfile" This ToolType specifies the deck which will specified to be examined when the CrossRef utility is first started. This defaults to "Decks:UnnamedDeck" Destination = "pathfile" This ToolType specifies where the printout from the CrossRef utility will be sent. It defaults to "PRT:" which is the printer, but may be changed to specify a file. Time&Date = Yes or No This ToolType allows you to specify whether you would like a Time and Date header to be printed along with the output of the CrossRef utility. It defaults to Yes. PageBreaks = Yes or No This ToolType specifies whether or not pagebreaks are to be used during the output. By default this is set to No. SpacesPerTab = 0 to 8 This ToolType allows you to adjust the spacing of the tab characters when printed. If this is set to 0, it indicates that tab characters will be printed as tabs, otherwise the specified number of spaces will be printed. LinesPerPage = 10 to 120 This ToolType allows you to specify how many lines are available per page of printout. This is used when PageBreaks (above) is set to Yes. The default LinesPerPage is 60. Solitaire2: This last minute modification to the Solitaire Game is included as a special bonus! This version of Solitaire differs from the documented Solitaire in the following manner: Hidden cards on the stacks are represented by cascaded card edges, instead of a single shadow. The card hit areas are larger than those in Solitaire. You can now back up one 3-card or 1-card deal at a time via a menu option. You can turn on (and off) a display of the number of cards remaining in the deck. You can determine whether the card are dealt in descending or ascending stacks.
