| 4.1 | Hardcopy? | DECWET::KOSAK | You get what you think about | Mon Sep 12 1988 17:12 | 9 |
| Andy,
Could you please process a copy of this for hardcopy and post a
pointer to it? Not all of us here have DECwindows on our workstations
(yet) and would like to take a look at the work you've done. Thanks
for documenting it by the way.

| 4.2 | LN03 version available | OROGEN::BODGE | Andy Bodge | Tue Sep 13 1988 12:46 | 26 |
| An LN03 file is in
{OROGEN|PAGODA}::OROGEN$DUA0:[BODGE.PUBLIC]SCREENS_IN_VOILA.DECW$BOOK
The type for the annotations is screen resolution, since the whole
figure is just a RAGS screen dump (processed through UTOX). An ideal
system would allow the following:
o Type used for annotations appears in laser fonts for hardcopy,
screen fonts for online.
o Reduced screens do not lose resolution in hardcopy, even though
they must when displayed on the screen.
o All this from one file that is processed as part of DOCUMENT;
that is, I don't have one process for hardcopy screens and
another for online screens.
Theoretically, RAGS produces a metafile that the Voila bookbuilder uses
as input. This would allow annotation of screens with laser fonts.
However, when I tried this with an annotated screen image it didn't
work, although I didn't pursue the matter. The technology to solve
these problems exists; it's just a matter of someone deciding it's an
important problem to solve, designing the solution, and doing it.

You mean SCREENS_IN_VOILA.LN03, right?

| 4.4 | This needs to get fixed | DECWET::KOSAK | You get what you think about | Thu Sep 15 1988 09:47 | 11 |
| Thanks for the reply Andy. Sorry to hear the process is not what
I had imagined. What I want (need) is what you desribe as the ideal
system. It sure wouldn't be hard to justify if you took a look
at all the time the CUP Graphic Services artists are spending
recreating all the screens in RAGS (!). I hope the proper resources
can be devoted to finding a solution. Time isn't critical for me,
but those folks have a DECwindows docset due out soon.
Staying tuned with much interest,

| re: .3 -- Whoops. The beauties of cut-and-paste-without-brain. Yes,
LN03 is what I meant.

| 4.6 | Will be fixed soon | DECWET::KOSAK | You get what you think about | Fri Sep 16 1988 16:13 | 6 |
| I've had a chance talk with Jon Parsons about this. It looks like
we'll be able to do "the right thing" (i.e. scalable bitmaps combined
with stroked PostScript fonts) when the next release of MOPS comes out.
