Hi,
By default there is no support for right-justified columns in Glamour. But have a look at the glamour presentation based on fast table. With that presentation the #column:evaluated: method can also return a morph, not just a string. It might be possible to return a morph that aligns the content to the right.
Thanks for that tip!
What do you mean by fixed-width font? Do you have an example of what you'd like to do?
If you have HTML enabled in your email client then I can demonstrate right here.
I would like to be able to format semi-structured text in a fixed-width font for neat alignment like this:
---- TRACE 1 start stdin:1 0006 MULVN 0 0 1 ; -3 0007 FORL 1 => 0006 ---- TRACE 1 IR .... SNAP #0 [ ---- ] 0001 rbp int SLOAD #2 CI 0002 xmm7 > num SLOAD #1 T 0003 xmm7 + num MUL 0002 -3 0004 rbp + int ADD 0001 +1 .... SNAP #1 [ ---- 0003 ] 0005 > int LE 0004 +1000 .... SNAP #2 [ ---- 0003 0004 ---- ---- 0004 ] 0006 ------------ LOOP ------------ 0007 xmm7 + num MUL 0003 -3 0008 rbp + int ADD 0004 +1 .... SNAP #3 [ ---- 0007 ]
and I would like to avoid presenting it with a variable-width font and wonky alignment like this:
---- TRACE 1 start stdin:1 0006 MULVN 0 0 1 ; -3 0007 FORL 1 => 0006 ---- TRACE 1 IR .... SNAP #0 [ ---- ] 0001 rbp int SLOAD #2 CI 0002 xmm7 > num SLOAD #1 T 0003 xmm7 + num MUL 0002 -3 0004 rbp + int ADD 0001 +1 .... SNAP #1 [ ---- 0003 ] 0005 > int LE 0004 +1000 .... SNAP #2 [ ---- 0003 0004 ---- ---- 0004 ] 0006 ------------ LOOP ------------ 0007 xmm7 + num MUL 0003 -3 0008 rbp + int ADD 0004 +1 .... SNAP #3 [ ---- 0007 ]
I realize that I could parse the structure of this text and e.g. present it with a fastTreeTable but I suspect this won't work very well when the structure of the data is not entirely uniform between rows.
