The `interactive' pict constructor is a hook for interactive GUI
elements on a slide. The callback associated with an `interactive'
pict gets a `frame%' instance for a frame that floats over the pict.
The new keys are useful for skipping animation groups. They
actually navigate by slide name, which defaults to the slide title,
but can be specified separately with the `#:name' argument to
`slide'.
The `slideshow/code-pict' library is the same as `slideshow/code', but
it works in non-GUI settings. Only the `slideshow/code' library connects
the code font size to `current-font-size', though.
The `code' macro, `define-code', etc., now support "code transformers",
which are syntax bindings that trigger otherwise-unescaped transformations
in the code to typeset (which can make the code easier to read and
friendlier to auto-indentation).
A common Slideshow pattern is to put a subset of slides in its
own module with a `run-slides' function, and then you'd
(un)comment a `(run-slides)' call at the end of the module to
work on the subset by itself. Now, you can write
`(module+ main (run-slides))' atthe end of the module and not
have to comment it out. Adding `main' support to the `slideshow'
executable makes it more consistent with using `racket' directly.
Checking first for a `slideshow' submodule makes it possible
for `slideshow' and `racket' to do different things, in case
that's useful.
Renamed `convert' to `pict-convert', etc., to avoid confusion
with `file/convert' bindings.
Moved out of `slideshow/pict' to `slideshow/pict-convert', because
most `slideshow/pict' clients do not need it.
This removes all the SVG sources, parsing, and marked-layer colorizing, the PNG binaries in the distribution, and the dependence of DrRacket on `slideshow/pict'.
Icons are now produced by drawing on a bitmap-dc%, inferring or building a z map, choosing a material, and sending these to a two-pass ray tracer. This is for the most part hidden behind an API consisting of functions from colors and optional sizes and materials to `bitmap%'s.
Contracts and documentation forthcoming.
Macros and other tools that need syntax privilege used
`(current-code-inspector)' at the module top-level to try to
capture the right code inspector at load time. It's more
consistent to instead use the enclosing module's declaration-time
inspector, and `var-ref->mod-decl-insp' provides that. The
new function works only on references to anonymous variables,
which limits access to the inspector.
The real function name is longer, of course.
I originally picked "under" as the preposition to go before
a platform name, but obviously you should build "on" a
platform, and "under" suddenly annoys me. The choice of "on"
is now codified in the documentation style guide. Meanwhile,
"Unix" insted of "X" seems more clear and consistent in the
`racket/gui' docs.
More usefully, this patch also fixes a few out-of-date
platform-specific claims.
