Yep. Fortunately LibreOffice is pretty easy to automate from python.

Got all excited about using the Excel Library for a new spreadsheet
project and then discovered it doesn't work on linux, *only* works with
actual Excel, not LibreOffice. Yes, I do realize it says "Excel" and not
"spreadsheet".
So it's off to python to do my spreadsheet automation. Shee

Imagine right-clicking on the card, getting. Menu, field, button, grid, widget.
Next level, named instance of a predefined class. Code drops the field then
registers the object with the class object. Now the class object knows which
objects to modify.

Like any other OOP system. By providing a way to instance an object from the
class, and then modify the parameters if necessary. Not saying it wouldn’t take
code. But the code would not be difficult to implement.

That's impressive. Monte's external is written in C, so that's as close
to bare metal as we're gonna get.

Consulting the dictionary would have helped me (in this case!):
measureText(text,field,bounds)
should give me what I need to make precise comparisons of how the various
operating (iterating?!!!) systems will render my fonts. I will report back
Interesting idea, Richard, to use images for all

That's great for buttons. I'd like to implement something for all objects. My
goal is to be able to offer the end user a way to change their "motif" with a
single click. Imagine being able to set the properties of an object designated
as a "class object", the object then getting a propertyChange
Look no further than comparing the JSON library written in LCB and LCS
(PhotonJSON). I’m thinking that the LCS is probably faster. Probably worth a
shot to actually test in more detail. I tried to import the smartcrumbs output
with the external, LCB and LCS and only the LCS even was successfu

Um, no.
There are quite a few pain points trying to determine the differences in
what is supported and what is different.

As a typed language, LCB should be more efficient than LCS.
Writing programs in LCB is more difficult and time consuming (bogs...) than
using higher level language (LCS)

For what it's worth, ever since my Master's thesis with LiveCode/RunRev, I
have always set up buttons with fonts the way I want them on whatever
platform, imported snapshots of those buttons, and used those images as
buttons.
No stress, No mess!

I read a blog some years back why it is so difficult to get nything on Windows
to look like it does on the Mac. It is true that Windows renders fonts
differently that Mac, so "exactly the same" remains the realm of the imagined.
But you can get close. My big issue was that using Arial, labels th
Or slower than both? As I understand it, LCB has the capability to call C
externals which themselves would be faster than anything, but on it's own it is
slower than both.

Should that be "much slower than C but faster than Script"?
In which case, what happened to the "faster than script" part?
