1. In versions 12 and 12.1 there is no function ToPDF, but it is mentioned in help:
View PG ⍝
OK
'test.ps' ToPDF PG ⍝ Save on file for Acrobat distiller
VALUE ERROR
'test.ps'ToPDF PG ⍝ Save on file for Acrobat distiller
∧
2. Function PostScrp.Write, but doesn't work:
'D:\RAIN.PS' PostScrp.Write PG ⍝ Write direct to PS device
DOMAIN ERROR
psput[19] txt ⎕NAPPEND fh ⋄ ⎕NUNTIE fh ⋄ r←1
∧
'D:\RAIN.EPS' PostScrp.Write PG ⍝ Write direct to PS device
DOMAIN ERROR
psput[19] txt ⎕NAPPEND fh ⋄ ⎕NUNTIE fh ⋄ r←1
∧

Any way to write rainpro plots to a file? Thanks.

Hi Sasha,

I shall ask Adrian Smith (the author of RainPro) about ToPDF.

The DOMAIN ERROR occurs as the default writing type of ⎕NAPPEND is 80.
For compatibility, you can call ⎕NAPPEND with 82, telling it to convert txt on output to type 82.

⎕DR txt
160
txt ⎕NAPPEND fh 80
DOMAIN ERROR
txt ⎕NAPPEND fh 80
∧
Compatibility conversion:
txt ⎕NAPPEND fh 82

Vince,

Thanks a lot. It works well for me.
You saved me a day. It is general saying.
YOU saved ME at least a MONTH!

Please, do not forget about function ToPDF.

Hello Sasha,

Adrian Smith's function ToPDF is a simple cover function, which basically is:

Code: Select all

fi ToPDF page
⍝ The trailing 1 gives colour support (required)
PostScrp.POSTSCRP page fi 1

Hi Vince,

Thanks. It works (with your advice on 82 code), but for only 50%.
Create a file, which can't be viewed:-(

Does it work for you?

Sasha.

Hi Sasha,

The ToPDF command creates a postscript file which can then be passed to Distiller, as the comment in the Help indicates.

You could use a postscript viewer such as GSView to view the postscript file. You could also try out the various Postscript to PDF converters that are available on the net.

Hi Sasha,

I shall email you a new copy of the NewLeaf workspace. With this, I was able to create PDF files like this:

)copy newleaf pdf
C:\Program Files\Dyalog\Dyalog APL 12.1 Unicode\ws\newleaf saved Tue Jul 20 11:59:23 2010

Cloud ⍝ 3D scatter using straws and balls

Vince,

Thanks a lot. I downloaded it and played a bit. There are a number of improvements,
but it still doesn't like Cyrillic:-(
