given a fragment list return a list of lists [size, spaces, (f00,w00), ..., (f0n,w0n)] each pair f,w represents a style and some stri

return formatted label text

This can be overridden to allow special effects

Return the last run's entries! If there are none, returns dummy.

Check for flowables in table cells and warn up front. Allow a couple which we know are fixed size such as images and graphics.

Draw a label for a given item in the list.

Collect information about a given built-in.

Collect information about a given module object.

checks for date validity in [-]yyyymmdd format

test whether a string is balanced in parens

Compute x, y for a label

Called for the built in 14 fonts. Gets their glyph data. We presume they never change so this can be a shared reference.

Loads in binary glyph data, and finds the four length measurements needed for the font descriptor

Loads in and parses font metrics

create the postscript code for the tint transfer function effectively this is tint*c, tint*y, ... tint*k

Return a label prototype for further modification.

this is only called by a container object

compute a pfb style length from the first 4 bytes of string d

clone obj._attrMap if required

PTO stands for Please Turn Over and is a means for specifying content to be inserted when stuff goes over a page. This makes one long multi-pa

when you enter a form, save accumulator info not related to the form for page (if any)

Calculate text width

solve the model v = a/s**2 + b/s for an s which gives us v==h

Override this if you want to alter the calculated range. E.g. if want a minumamum range of 30% or don't want 100% as the first point.

return a repr style string with named fixed args first, then keywords

reset the parser

Find the corner points of the rotated w x h sized box at x,y return the corner points and the min max points in the original space

reverse unsigned 13 bit number >>> print _ru13(7936), _ru13(31), _ru13(47), _ru13(7808) 31 7936 7808 47

Convert a scalar to a NormalDate value.

scan a zero terminated string from the file

set a module level value from environ/default

Writes the given unsigned short value into stream at the given offset and returns the resulting stream (the original is unchanged)

Show code of the drawing class.

Show a graphical demo of the drawing.

Show a demo code of the function generating the drawing.
