| 365.1 | It's unsupported, but PICMODE is an option | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | | Tue May 12 1987 19:52 | 12 |
| I hate to even mention it since it is an unsupported tool, but you could
try PICMODE. If you do a dir/keyword=figures you should be able to get
a list of notes that refer to it; there are a few tricks.
You'll have to generate the picture in an external file and
<include_tex_file> the picture in. On the other hand, you won't have to
mess with align characters and such.
This response assumes that you didn't know about PICMODE, of course.

Strange this note should appear now.
I was just writing up a "requestion" (Request/question)
How about a SOFTWARE tag to generate data structures?
Ex:
<DATA_STRUCTURE>(PCB\32) ! name PCB, 32 bits wide
<DATA_ELEMENT>(32\PID) ! first longward is PID
<DATA_ELEMENT>(16\CHAN_CNT) ! next word is 16 bit, channel count
<DATA_ELEMENT>(16\REF_CNT) ! another 16 bit element
<DATA_ELEMENT>(32*3\PROC_NAME) ! 12 character name
<ENDDATA_STRUCTURE>
would generate:
31 15 0
+---------------------+
| PID |
+---------------------+
| CHAN_CNT | REF_CNT |
+---------------------+
| |
+ +
| PROC_NAME |
+ +

+---------------------+

| 365.3 | only needs documentation... | CLOSET::ANKLAM | | Wed May 13 1987 11:35 | 13 |

Actually, we do have such a tool, and TeX macros that do all of
that. It's not part of the external, customer kit, but its use
requires a fair amount of twiddling. What we do is create SDML files
from SDL files for data structures. The base tool hasn't yet been
updated for T1.0 names (it also creates definition list tags for
a definition list to go with the structure names).
Once we get V1 out, I should have time to take a look at the data
structure things and explain how to use them.

All Right!

...and I even wrote the original SDL User's Guide...

| 365.6 | by the way, should I wait? | CHAMBR::GUINEAU | | Fri May 15 1987 10:58 | 20 |

| 365.7 | SDL experts? | CLOSET::ANKLAM | | Mon May 18 1987 11:49 | 12 |

Any SDL experts out there? It turns out that the SDL->SDML translator
is broken as of Version 3 of SDL (it no longer handles unions
correctly). We don't have the resources to correct the problems
at present.
The sources for the SDL-SDML translator are written in PL/I. I'd
be happy to share them with anyone who might have the time/inclination
to fuss with it.
