[Bug-apl] A GTK wrapper for GNU APL

2014-08-12 Thread Chris Moller
I've written a GTK+-based wrapper for APL and Jürgen suggested I tell people about it... Basically, what it does is provide a textual interface to APL that makes it unnecessary to install keymaps and fonts in xterm, konsole, or whatever CLI you usually use--the keymap and font are built into t

Nice start! Thanks for doing this. :) --with-apl-source-dir= is not recognized by configure, but APL_SOURCES= ./configure seems to work. A few obvious things for the wish list: 1. a monospaced font 2. ability to adjust font size 3. automatically scroll to end of buffer on output Again, thank

Wouldn't it make sense to include this in GNU APL proper? Regards, Elias On 13 Aug 2014 06:47, "David Lamkins" wrote: > Nice start! Thanks for doing this. :) > > --with-apl-source-dir= is not recognized by configure, but > > APL_SOURCES= ./configure > > seems to work. > > > A few obvious things

The --with-apl-source-dir= thing is left over from an old version and I forget to take it out of the INSTALL file. Now it asks apl itself where the source is. If it's important, I can stick the option back in, but, mostly, it should do things automagically. You can set the font size with the

Dear Chris, Wow. Very nice! A few things I noticed: 1. The -m did not put it in mono font for me (using current GIT). 2. Mono font really should be the default otherwise nothing displays correctly. Try ]keyb. Try 5 5⍴⍳25 3. You are using an old keyboard mapping. It doesn't match the out

I recommend using GNU FreeMono as the font. That's what I'm using in Emacs for APL buffers and it looks great. Much better than the disasters of fonts used by Dyalog. On 13 August 2014 13:27, David Lamkins wrote: > On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 5:59 PM, Chris Moller > wrote: > >> The --with-apl-sou

Seconded. FreeMono works for me. In addition to Emacs, I use FreeMono in xterm and gnome-terminal. On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 10:29 PM, Elias Mårtenson wrote: > I recommend using GNU FreeMono as the font. That's what I'm using in Emacs > for APL buffers and it looks great. Much better than the dis

The keymap came from Sharp APL, which I'd been using for years, but it's easy enough to modernise it. I'll tinker that in the morning. The -m switch switched to the SimPL font which was alleged to be monospace, but isn't quite. I replaced it just now with GNU FreeMono, which is better, but s
