My pleasure and hope you will find it useful.

We are still doing some minor developments.  For example, we notice that the buffer size for holding the function parameter definitions is fixed.  This will be made variable in due course.  We have simply doubled the fixed size for the moment to take a 12 parameter function definition (don't ask).

We are also working on changing the function 'show' so that it will call the Faith to Clarity if no picture is available.  We will upload new source code sometime towards the end of the year with some of these minor changes.

Thanks for sharing !

The iPad seems to be the ideal technology for using a ClarityPro environment.  Sometime ago I was flying to the USA from the UK and had a touch screen computer.  Clarity development was very easy on my lap as I moved boxes and created links with just a pen device.  How much better it would have been with my digit and the Apple interface.

Some of you young bloods out there should be able to get an App going from the source code.  Even a primitive form should make the iPad the ideal tool that goes beyond the iPhone.

No you are not alone.http://www.clarity-support.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif

The source code is now available through the link provided.  We have had some problems cleaning up the code. So I have not had time to look to see who has responded.

Are there any members in this forum or am I all alone.

How do I get the source ?

One of the facilities not mentioned in the book Drawing Programs is the use of the 'escape' (esc) button to jump out of long process or never ending loop.  To do this you require to select, before you start, the menu item:

Control -> Enable/Disable Escape.

If you don't select this the only option is to 'End Task' which will lose all your work done before the last .ddb save.

Activating the 'Enable/Disable Escape' will have the effect of slowing down the process and changing the active curser to a circle.  The circle will have a black segment that will vary in size during the processing.  This segment shows how much of the stack is being used during a process.  While this is active pressing the 'esc' key will jump out of any process and take you back to the QUERY level.  The 'esc' key may have to be pressed more than once to execute the jump.

This is a very useful facility while developing functions since you don't lose what you have done if you make a 'big' mistake.

Have fun.

Welcome to the Clarity Forum where issues concerning the design and development environment ClarityPro and its alternative forms can be discussed.
  The authors will do there best to provide answers where appropriate but we hope that there will be free discussions of new techniques and methods in this alternative way of programming.  It is further hoped that people will take up the offer of developing original facilities with the source code or provide new library functions using DLLs.
  We wish you all luck and fun in drawing programs.
