Title: Setting font and colors used by CAPI:PINBOARD-OBJECT
ID: 16018
| Product: All Version: All OS: All | |
| Description: The documentation in LW4.1 for capi:item-pinboard-object incorrectly states that you can pass the :font and :foreground initargs to control these aspects of the drawing. The correct way to do this is to use the :graphics-args initarg, which takes a list of GP drawing options (see section 10.3 Graphics state in the CAPI User Guide). There is an accessor capi::pinboard-object-graphics-args which can be used to read or change the values in an existing pinboard object. This applies to all subclasses of capi:pinboard-object. In LW4.2 the documentation for capi:item-pinboard-object has been corrected and capi:pinboard-object-graphics-args is exported. Example:
(capi:contain
(make-instance 'capi:pinboard-layout
:description
(list (make-instance
'capi:item-pinboard-object
:data "foo bar"
:graphics-args '(:foreground :red)))
:min-width 200
:min-height 100))
Note: capi:item-pinboard-object and other subclasses of capi:pinboard-object can only be used in a capi:pinboard-layout. | |
