Release notes for MECCA 2000 version 4.10. Dec/13/2006 Fixed: 1. Setting color attributes (e.g. for line, box etc.) or query caused error when using Pantone named color scheme (fcplist.tcl). 2. Corrected a potential problem where galey composer may generate MFORM objects with arbitrary mirror attributes (galeyc). 3. Corrected a problem in isepsfile program where line-endings may be missed (isepsfile). 4. Corrected labeling errors in file open/save dialog box (dbox.tcl). 5. Minor updates to work with newer versions of Tk (m2k, popups.tcl, tk.options). 6. Fixed problem where user selected language dictionary to use was not passed on to ispell (text.tcl, ispell.tcl). 7. Corrected a possible problem in building area boundary with "short" vectors -- lines that do not actually meet/cross, but intersect via projection, may result in the short line end-point being used in the area boundary, instead of using the intersection point (m2kbin). 8. Graduated areas, when mirrored, were incorrectly subjected to horizontal/vertical mirror axis restriction similar to boxes (m2kbin). New/Changed: 1. Added "WIDTH=value" and "DEPTH=value" optional keywords to the batch MFORM command (galeyc). If present, WIDTH and DEPTH indicate the merged form area size (like they do in the FIGURE command), and will cause the dimensional values marked in the first line of the .fp file to be ignored. 2. frmpos now has the "-n" option to generate .fp file in the mode-1 format (frmpos, frmpos.tcl). Notes: the "modes" refer to FP file data format: Mode-0 is the traditional FP format. In Mode-1, the column after Vsize is line-lead, in hops. In this mode, merged text data containing \NL^ commands are also handled correctly. 3. Added "-c" option to bcompose, to tell typdrv to output cut-marks (bcompose). Please note that bcompose normally requires a printer/tray as the output target, even if the PostScript file is not to be sent to the printer. That printer's entry in the selection file $MECCA_FILES/cfg/printers can indicate whether cutmarks are desired. 4. Added support for using Aspell (instead of ispell) as the spelling checker (text.tcl, ispell.tcl, idict.menu.sample). For details on how to use aspell with M2K, please see separate file "v4.10_aspell". 5. Open File dialog box now includes symlinked directories and files (dbox.tcl). Please note: going into a symlinked directory, causes the referenced directory name be shown. Saving to such a file may be problematic if the referenced file has no write permission. 6. Added custom (user defined) graduation progression map for use with Box, Area and B/W Raster (m2kbin, typdrv, gpcdump, area.tcl, setbox.tcl, query.tcl, gmapedt.tcl, gradprog.tcl, tclIndex, PSgraduate.ps, addpartdims, preview). As a side effect, gradudation display now has smoother stepping. Please find detailed information about custom proression map in the notes file "v4.10_grad_map". ::Addendum:: http://www.amgraf.com/updates/m2k/v410A.txt http://www.amgraf.com/updates/m2k/v410B.txt
