**** Summary of Release Components ****
Note: In the descriptions that follow the DF file or files for a component are located on [Indigo]<ISL>Top> unless otherwise specified. If the documentation file name is not a path, it is assumed to be accessible using the DF file name and BringOver, i.e.,
BringOver /o DocFileName DFFileName
In general, documentation is stored on
[Indigo]<ISL>Documentation>ComponentName.tioga
but there are occasional exceptions. For brevity, we do not list Component.Press if Component.Tioga exists, and we do not include [Indigo]<ISL>Documentation> in the file name if that is the prefix. If not specified, the host is assumed to be [Indigo].
Components are listed below only if there has been a change for this release. Unless otherwise indicated, questions about changes in individual components should be addressed to their implementors.
ColorDemo
DF file: ColorDemo.df
Documentation: ColorDemoDoc.Tioga
Implementor: Rick <Beach>, Maureen <Stone>
The documentation is new. It's intended to cover both the preparations for giving a demonstration of ISL color graphics as well as describing interesting details that you might include in your demonstration talk. Minor fixes to the DF file.
ShowPress
DF file: ShowPress.df
Documentation: ShowPress.Tioga
Implementor: Rick <Beach>
This version provides a new page scroll bar and different paging buttons for easier navigation in multipage press files.
ShowPress now registers with the Commander interface. NOTE: the command name has been changed to ShowPress from the ambiguous Show. The bcd is now called ShowPressPackage.
Sliders
DF file: Sliders.df
Documentation: See implementor
Implementor: Darlene <Plebon>
Sliders is a viewer class providing general purpose slider viewers for graphics input. A slider has a value between 0.0 and 1.0 which is set by depressing the red mouse button in the slider's viewer. The position of the mouse determines the slider's value. The value may be changed continuously by holding the red button down while moving the mouse. The size of a bar painted in the slider viewer indicates the value of the slider. A client supplied procedure is called each time the slider's value is changed. The client may also supply a procedure for filtering the slider's value (e.g. to make the slider value discrete).
