Topology Editor - last changings

• 17 October 2000 revision 0.14
  • New flag is added: -update_default_file true|false -- cmdline option
    teDiana.alwaysUpdateDefaultFile True |False -- X resource.
    Default is False. When set to True, forces the Topology Editor to overwrite the "default" file at each "save" operation. The "default" file is the first opened input file.
  • Minor bug is fixed: in previous versions the input file specified from the command line without keyword -file can be overwritten from the X resources file.
• 16 October 2000 revision 0.13
  • Bug is fixed: several momenta set at pure vertex now works.
  • Syntax was changed to be more ANSI compatible.
• 4 July 2000: Binary distribution for Linux Intel x86 is available (statically linked executable ELF files).
• 21 April 2000 revision 0.9
  • Bug is fixed: on some platforms (in particular, on Alpha OSF1) the program sometimes got Floating Point exception when printing the pure bubble topology (without external legs).
  • The "zoom" and "transform" windows appear near the cursor.
  • The keyword "-file" may be omitted, i.e., the program will try to interprete the bare command line parameter as the input file name.
• 16 April 2000 revision 0.8
  • Popup menu "All", "Marked" for "save" and "export": accelerators are added. When active, this menu accepts the hot keys A and M.
• 4 April 2000 revision 0.7
  • Last resources database (after .Xdefaults) is loaded from the file ~/.teDianarc file.
  • In the generated file, the following textual constants may be changed via resourses/commandlineparams: "topology", "outlines", "coordinates", "ev", "evl", "iv", "ivl", "el", "ell", "il", "ill".
    Corresponding resources: ".tokenTopology", ".tokenOutlines", ".tokenCoordinates", ".tokenEv", ".tokenEvl", ".tokenIv", ".tokenIvl", ".tokenEl", ".tokenEll", ".tokenIl", ".tokenIll".
    Corresponding command line parmeters try teDiana -help.
  • May be, not a good idea:
    Previous revision fails when the length of the topology name is more then of 80. Now the topology name will be trancated at position 80.
  • Some bugs are fixed:
    • in some conditions the middle line of multiline connected vertices, when it is defined automatically upon start-up, appears to be curved, and coincide with one of the other lines.
    • The main window header, when lodaded from resources file, appears to be " No file".
    • When all 3 poins of the arc are coincide, the radius of the arc appears to be 0, and sometimes (g++ OSF alpha compiler, e.g.) this leads to crash on floating point exception.
      Now: when radius less then 10.0, force it to be 10.0 (just move the acr middle point x coordinate +=10.0)
  • Hot key for saving a file now is ^W: previous ^S conflicts with toggling status bar.
  • New submenus File-> Export...
    • "as generic" -- saves topology(ies) as Diana's generic topology notation
    • "as internal" -- saves topology(ies) as Diana's internal topology notation
    Examples:
    Original topology:

        topology top41_ =
           (-3,3)(-2,2)(-1,1)(1,4)(1,4)(1,5)(2,3)(2,6)(3,5)(4,6)(4,6)(5,6):
           p,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8;
        coordinates top41_ =
          ev 450.0,145.0,450.0,55.0,50.0,100.0:
          evl 440.0,135.0,440.0,45.0,40.0,90.0:
          iv 100.0,101.7,400.0,55.0,393.0,145.0,194.1,92.8,253.1,112.8,275.2,84.7:
          ivl 90.0,91.7,390.0,45.0,383.0,135.0,184.1,82.8,243.1,102.8,265.2,74.7:
          el 421.5,145.0,425.0,55.0,75.0,100.9:
          ell 411.5,135.0,415.0,45.0,65.0,90.9:
          il 146.2,87.8,148.0,106.7,176.5,107.3,396.5,100.0,337.6,69.8,323.0,128.9,
          233.9,80.6,235.5,96.8,264.1,98.7:
          ill 136.2,77.8,138.0,96.7,166.5,97.3,386.5,90.0,327.6,59.8,313.0,118.9,223.9,
          70.6,225.5,86.8,254.1,88.7;
    

    Saved as generic:

        generictopology top41_ =
           (-3,3)(-2,2)(-1,1)(1,4)(1,4)(1,5)(2,3)(2,6)(3,5)(4,6)(4,6)(5,6):
           p,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8;
    

    Saved as internal:

       \INTERNALMOMENTA( top41_,
          (1,4)(1,4)(1,5)(2,3)(2,6)(3,5)(4,6)(4,6)(5,6),
          p,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8)
    

  • Now the behaviour of the save command called via the "File->Save" menu differs from one called from the toolbar button: in former case the user will be asked "all" or "marked" topologies are subject to saving.
• 29 November 1999 (revision 06):
  • Bug in Makefile is fixed:).
  • The grid is improved.
• 28 November 1999: The Makefile was changed. Now it produces the executable file teDiana.bin and the script teDiana to start it.
• 27 November 1999: The color of the labels text is changed (default is white). Two cmd line parameters:
  -lt_color -- The color of the labels text for screen (default is -- '#FFFFFF')
  -ltp_color -- The color of the labels text for printing (default is darkGray, something like '#555555')
  Resources see teDiana --help
• 02 November 1999: printing facilities are added
