Code Printer Description
The CodePrinter is used for printing out a pretty version of your code
with comments. You can selectively pick any classes, methods,
and class definitions and print to either a Latex or RTF file. Extra
support
is provided on the UNIX environment for creating dvi and postscript
files
along with the ability to send output to a printer. This is based upon a
version of Latex and RTF Streams developed by Carl McConnell. I
worked with Jeff Barcalow on the early development.
There is code for both VisualWorks 2.5.x and for VisualWorks 3.0. VisualWorks 2.5.x needs
to have John Brant
and Don Roberts Refactory Browser installed before you install
the code printer as we used their EnvironmentsEditor to assist us with
selectively choosing what we wanted to print. I am working on an html extension, an Envyised
version, and an
interface for VisualAge that will hopefully be done by June '98.
Please email me any comments, suggestions, or bugs as I am very
interested in keeping the application up-to-date.
Code Printer Installation
To install, unzip the codeprinter.zip file into a directory. If you
are installing for vw3.0, simply load the printer.pcl file. If you
are installing for vw2.5.x, file in the install.st file after you
have loaded John Brant's Refactory Browser. John's browser can be
found at: http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/~brant/Refactory. After
installing, execute 'CodeSelector open' to start using the tool. A
LaTeX icon is put on the VisualLauncher for VW 3.0 which also starts
the applications.
The Code
The code can be found here.
Attached is a set of fixes for the above code printer code from Pete Hatch.
The RefactoryBrowser evolved and needs these files as
RestrictedEnvironment doesn't exist for the VW3.0 versions (or in the
5i
version). Another change was a self send of #selectedVisualBlock: in
DoubleEnvironmentEditor. This should be
#createSelectedVisualBlockFrom:. The following files should work as patches for
3.0 and 5.i.
