MAIN MENU FUNCTIONS
File
New
create a new current empty sketchy text
Import
read the given sketchy text (exported from AMADEUS)
Import macro
read the given sketchy text (exported from AMADEUS)
The sketchy text will be used as active set of macro definitions
for all frames (including this sketchy text as well).
It may also be currently changed.
It remains active even after closing its frame.
To cancel the active set of macro definitions, one should import a new
set of macro definitions, or replace it by an empty sketchy text.
empty the current set of macro definitions
? the set of macro definitions is displayed in a frame
chose "File + New" in that frame
<======
choose "File + Import macro"
answer "Cancel" in the file dialog frame
See also "Help + Macros".
Read text
read the given plain text file to current plain sketchy text
Write text
write the current plain sketchy text converted into plain text
Export plain-HTML
write the current sketchy text as poor HTML document
Exports the current sketchy text using only default colors and fonts.
Export HTML
write the current sketchy text as rich HTML document
Exports the current sketchy text preserving colors and fonts.
Exported file is brows-able. Iconified sub-sketches are hyperlinked.
Print plain-TEX
write the current sketchy text as printable in \TeX
Writes the current sketchy text into file as a plain-TEX-text
containing macros (from file "amadeus.tex") for drawing schemes
in style close to view Sketchy.
details
The printing style differs from the display view Sketcy in the manner
of specifying scheme elements (comments, heads etc). While the
display view uses different colors for the elements, the print style
uses italic for comments and, in addition, the primitive comments
are prefixed by ``---''. In the print style, the sketch comment is
also always shown also at the end of the sketch line. Branches are
attached to their parent-sketch lines (and have no own ``branch
lines''). To specify branch type, corresponding type-tag is shown
in front of branch comment: ``-'' for simple branch, ``='' for loop
branch, and bold``-'' for module branch. The prefix is omitted
in the case of a single simple branch with empty comment. For
loops, only horizontal parts of sketch lines are doubled, and therloop
head (if present) is placed between the two horizontal lines at the
beginning of the loop.
It is supposed that primitive texts in the current sketchy text are
already written in accord with TEX rules. The resulting file starts
with "\input amadeus.macro" and ends with "\bye" so being ready
for TEX-processing.
To obtain normal figures printed from TEX, their height must not
exceed page height. Therefore it should be taken care to apply this
feature only for sufficiently short sketchy texts. If necessary,
appropriate iconifying shoud be taken before Print to plain-TEX.
