I am just beginning to learn DOCUMENT and want to use it
first to make some overheads. The basic overhead is pretty
easy and I love the results, but I am stuck trying to use
a figure.
I think what I want is:
<SLIDE>
<TOPIC>(FOOBAR Conceptual Diagram)
<FIGURE>
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| nifty diagram done with hyphens and vertical bars and |
| plus signs, etc. on terminal screen. |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
<ENDFIGURE>
but I get lots of LINE_TO_LONG warnings,(which I have already
read about in a previous note), and finally an error.
The portion of the .LIS file is listed below.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,
cm, mm, dd, cc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one!
I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printers' points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)

| 226.1 | You can see what I've done | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | Thu Apr 09 1987 13:04 | 12 | |
I've done figures in overheads with very nice results, including sixels,
picmode, and plain old line art. You're welcome to copy the relevant
files and to examine what I have done, from :
COOKIE::DISK$FIG_4:[JOHNSTON.CLASS.SLIDES]FIGURES.GNC

Thanks much! A quick look at FIGURES.GNC and I think
I see what I have to do.
thanks again,

| 226.3 | looks like you need LINEART tags | ATLAST::BOUKNIGHT | Everything has an outline | Thu Apr 09 1987 14:38 | 3 |
What did you do to fix it?

| 226.4 | needed <line_art> | CLOSET::ANKLAM | Thu Apr 09 1987 16:21 | 18 | |
I suspect that the fix was in adding text element tags around the
line art, ie.
<figure>
<line_art>
...
<endline_art>
<endfigure>
This is in the category of a figure that has no elements (where
the <figure> tags expect only tags of a certain type). I was going
to make that a W-level message, but if this is a common type of
problem, perhaps I should make it an E ?

| 226.5 | yup | OASS::M_HYDE | From the laboratory of Dr. Jekyll | Fri Apr 10 1987 00:07 | 12 |
Yes, the line art tags took care of it. I suppose I just
didn't completely understand the documentation. It appeared
that <figure> <endfigure> would just take whatever was between
and give it to you literally.
Anyway, problem solved. I'm getting more time to read the
manuals. I've never used anything like this before and so
far, with the manuals handy, I think I'm catching on pretty
well.

| 226.6 | another question | OASS::M_HYDE | From the laboratory of Dr. Jekyll | Fri Apr 10 1987 17:39 | 23 |
How do I force spacing into the text of a paragraph?
I'm still doing overheads :-) and now I want to print on
the slide an ACL:
<SLIDE>
<TITLE>(Accessing Conference Files)
<TOPIC>(ACL to allow direct access to conference file)
TRUCK.NOTE;1 [HYDE] (RWE,RWE,RWE,RWE)
(IDENTIFIER=[NOTES$SERVER],ACCESS=READ+WRITE+EXECUTE)
(IDENTIFIER=[HYDE],ACCESS=READ+WRITE+EXECUTE+CONTROL)
(IDENTIFIER=[DECNET],ACCESS=NONE)
(IDENTIFIER=NETWORK,ACCESS=NONE)
And I would like it to be offset as above. If I use <P>,
it gets all wrapped into a paragraph. If I use <CODE_EXAMPLE>
it works but it comes out in regular size text, not overhead
size. I've experimented with making it a list, but that
hasn't been very successful. I try not to ask until I've
given it a thorough try on my own, and I can't seem to get
this to happen.

| 226.7 | <line> and <line>(indent) | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | Fri Apr 10 1987 18:27 | 7 | |
Use <LINE> and <LINE>(INDENT). Try <LINE>(INDENT) first without a numeric argument; the default should probably be satisfactory. Rose | |||||
| 226.8 | New font, too | VAXUUM::SEGAL | Tue Apr 14 1987 11:15 | 5 | |
New LN03 monospace font will be available in the update.
Code examples in overheads will print in a larger point size then.

| 226.9 | but I want a space here! | OASS::M_HYDE | From the laboratory of Dr. Jekyll | Sat Apr 18 1987 15:32 | 12 |
It's got to be simple, which is probably why I can't figure
it out. How do I get a line to retain it's vertical spacing?
Suppose I really want the line to be:
Text here and then a truly large gap.
How do I keep document from mashing it all together?
Thanks again for all the help.

| 226.10 | horizontal or vertical? | CLOSET::ANKLAM | Mon Apr 20 1987 09:22 | 7 | |
you can use <align_char> or <align_after> to force horizontal
space (which is what your example shows) in normal text. Both
horizontal and vertical space are preserved in monospaced
examples (<code_example>, <line_art>....)
