Title: MakeDrawFile Short: Create drawfiles from textual descriptions (v3.08) Author: Gareth McCaughan Date: 5-jan-97 Status: Freeware Archiver: SparkFS Size: ================================= Description: mkdrawf is a program to create drawfiles from textual descriptions. It can create all the object types recognised by the version of !Draw in RISC OS 3, and one which isn't. The description language is a fairly powerful (but nasty) programming language in its own right. It is accompanied by decdrawf, a program which performs the inverse operation, and !Drawf, a WIMP front end to mkdrawf and decdrawf. Some features added between versions 2.10 and 2.35: - it's possible to include sprites from sprite files - you no longer need to fiddle about with font numbers if you don't want to - many minor bug fixes - bounding boxes are now computed accurately - a WIMP front end is included - manual has been improved; there's a tutorial for beginners too - sundry small extras: centred text, random numbers, string handling, numerical manipulation of colours, JPEG objects (but !Draw doesn't understand them yet!) New in 3.02: - completely rewritten internals. The program is now about 10% faster, much less memory-hungry, and easier to understand - a serious bug with nested macros has been fixed In version 3.05 a couple of serious bugs have been fixed, and some minor features have been added.
