ColorTranscript howto fake/implement?
 
|
I’m trying to implement something along the lines of:
ColorTranscript show: ‘text’ withColor: Color red; show: ‘more text’ withColor: Color blue. All stream classes seem to strip out text attribute information except AttributedTextStream which seems rather incomplete. I was thinking that I could analyze how the color menu that is accessed via cmd-6 (on the mac) is able to colorize a selection even in a transcript window and so implement the functionality by faking the UI’s steps, but I can’t figure out how to debug the interface and trace though a menu call to see what it actually does. Any suggestions? on how to trace the steps to colorize a word via the menu OR on how to implement the functionality directly… Either/both would be appreciated, Thanks.

Hmmm. Doesn’t seem to work. Eventually opens up an uncountable number of MNU windows
Transcript := TranscriptStream new. text := Text string: 'text' attribute: (Color red).

Hi, there. That's not how to use text attributes. There is TextColor for setting a text's color. Try this: text := Text string: 'text' attribute: (TextColor color: Color red). Transcript show: text;cr. Best, Marcel

Hey, thanks.
I don’t know what was wrong. I downloaded a pristine copy and filed-in and it works now using your method My wrong-way apparently made things permanently wacky or maybe something I did earlier in the same image was the culprit. Thanks again, Lawson By the way, will this be part of the distribution soon? It's probably going to be very useful for a lot of people once they get used to it. L

Hi, I was passing by, and tried : ---- text := Text string: 'text example ' attribute: (TextColor color: Color red). Transcript show: text;cr. ---- In Squeak5.2 MacOS Mojave. It does not work properly, the text comes out black as usual. bye Nicola -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-Beginners-f107673.html _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

Hi Nicola!

If you browse the TranscriptStream's show: procedure you'll see that it will send asString to the object you hand in, so in you case the attributes of the Text get ignored as asString on Text will just return the content's string. So out of the box a colorized Transcript isn't possible.
