You're welcome Good

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what I can do (the first would be easier than the second, because something was already done in the code).


P.S. Anyone who is testing the latest Nightly Build may notice an exception while trying to run this plugin; Andrey is informed, I'll work to fix it. there's a Nightly build update

Questions:
  1. Is there a way to have the "toolbar" pop-up automatically? maybe override the standard smath tools?
  2. In order to open, I need to type CTRL+SHFT+W; however, for the toolbar to open, I need to press CTRL+SHIFT+S {or right click settings} for the tool bar to pop-up. Is this normal?
  3. With the included formatting, would a bullet point or list object be something that can be implemented?
No longer 3 clicks, so I think the recompile helped Good

Can you allow for a "minimize" of the toolbar window? Maybe interlocked with the SMath main window?

On my laptop, no other screen, the toolbar remains open and there is no way to minimize it out of the way. Many times, I am reading or looking at a PDF or other document and the toolbar stays on top. Maybe there is a switch to remain on top that can be turned off if SMath is not the focal window?

I've made some changes in that function, there's still a minor issue but nothing serious Good

It is possible. Via context menu only or also with a button (in this case the toolbar may result slighty bigger);

Not sure, I'll try to implement something...

Great plugin! Makes my sheets look much sleeker.

Is there any way to make the writer region line up horizontally with a math region? I can only get it slightly higher or slightly lower, I can't get them to match.

I'm a little bit confused here (horizontally vs higher/lower)... You mean vertically?

The problem is... align to what? Just about math regions, different regions with the same vertical positions may have different baseline just changing the content or the font-size.

A very dirty solution is to place the WriterRegion with the top margin above the one of the MathRegion you want to align and add a first empty line with the height that better fit your needs (not the best approach).

I've planned to customize paragraphs to let the user choose line-height/top margin/bottom-margin of each one, but this feature involves several things, must be planned and deployed carefully.

Hi Davide

Since the demise of Comppad within LibreOffice I’ve re-discovered SMath Studio.
Thanks to your work the simplistic text region can be substituted by Writer, resulting in a very readable and informative document.

However, when trying to convert a .sm file containing simple writer elements to .xmcd format the writer regions are lost. When the converted file is re-opened (Smath or Mathcad 15) math and text regions are converted but no sign of the writer regions. I’ve entered simple writer regions (no formatting, etc.) but comparing the pre- and post-converted files in a text editor there is no sign of the writer regions in the .xmcd file.

I’m probably missing something and would appreciate your advice

In anticipation many thanks

Mark

Thank you for reporting this issue Mark.
I have to check if the problem may be solved just by working from WriterRegion side or if there are things to do also in the XMCD plugin.

Please try the new beta update; if you select a single math region and at least one WriterRegion the context menu will show you a "Vertical alignment" item and you can move the WriterRegion(s); if a single WriterRegion is selected and one or more MathRegions are selected, you can move the MathRegion(s). It's a little bit dirty solution but should works.

I've uploaded a 0.7 beta version in the Extensions Manager that supports the export to XMCD files. To test it you have to compile a modified XMCDFileType.dll (code available in SVN revision 1941; before replacing, backup the original library for an easy rollback). This works using SMath Studio >= 0.98.5973.

... you may have noticed in "Courrier" [Smath default font]
capitals have same height than numbers, thus text align horizontally.

A region to have rich text in the worksheet Good

Yes I know. Unfortunately .NET doesn't help at all in precise text measuring, and math regions are based on the parameter "middle line" (that is wonderful in math regions, close to magic, but doesn't helps here). As for now, I've solved with the dumb way... I've measured the distances with Paint.NET, tabulated the results, provided the scaling for different DPI settings (this affects only the mutual vertical alignment between the two regions, if requested from the user, or the math alignment inside the region itself, if math regions are used inside the writer region).

Thanks Davide for the "Region writer spoiler". About like Mathcad, about same as OriginLab [Hypertext].
I wish one day the default Greek will be "Times New Roman 10", the most comfortable characters.
