It should be pointed out that as written -in an article published in TUGboat, the system as such can be -described as a straightforward solution to the problem of making -nice documents containing APL code. Instead of trying to achieve -a completed result, we tell the reader how to use existing MetaFont -character descriptions as far as possible to provide an APL font -of reasonably fine quality. Further development is left to the users. -Combined with suitable TeX macros using Digital's mnemonics -- chosen -because of the popularity of the interpreter among APL users -(it is really the only one used at our site) -- the font can be used -smoothly enough. Furthermore, if combined with an APL workspace -providing functions for an automatic conversion of APL workspaces -into TeX code, the system can be used to merge pre-existing -APL code into documents without the pain of re-writing the code -in Digital's 2-letter mnemonics. - To produce pixel files from the MetaFont file CMAPL10.MF, -you have to run MetaFont in your local machine. By typing METAFONT -you should get the prompt symbol '*'. It may be necessary to use -the form - - METAFONT\INPUT_DIRECTORY = XXXXXX - -where XXXXXX is the global name of the directory where the basic -CMMF definitions can be found. -The following discussion will then get MetaFont to produce a generic -font file CMAPL10.360GF: - - * \relax; - * \mode = imagen; - * \mag = 1.2; - * input cmapl10 - -Here \mode = imagen was used to get a pixel file for a laserprinter -with the resolution 200 times 200 pixels per square inch. It is -possible that the definition of 'imagen' is different at your local -site; in the case of error ask the person who installed your local -MetaFont. Notice that \mag = 1.2 is needed in case you want to get -magnified pixels. The final pixel (because of the resolution 200) -files will then be named CMAPL10.1800PXL (or whatever you choose -to call them). If you want to produce 'small' pixel files for example -for a screen previewer, use \mag = xxx with an appropriate constant xxx. -(You can check the form of characters obtained on a teletype terminal -by using the program GFTYPE.) Finally, you get a pixel file from -CMAPL10.xxxGF by running the program GF(TO)PXL.EXE, which should be -found together with MetaFont. - Some people want to use their pixel files on a PC (the -laserprinter is connected to a PC or for previewing purposes). In -that case the pixel files must be downloaded from the host. We never -use programs like Kermit for transferring the binary file but -first convert it to hex form, load the file down as a text file and -then convert it back. It is IMPORTANT to notice that pixel files in -VAXes (say) are composed of 512 byte blocks. The pixel file itself -is ended by the pixel_id, which is either 1001 (rasters are in word packed -form) or 1002 (rasters are in byte packed form). Many programs running -on PCs assume that the last 4 bytes of the pixel file really -represent the pixel_id. Hence, the pixel files downloaded from the host -should be CLEANed from garbage (the programs CONVERT and CLEAN are -given for convenience and to fix the definition of what they should do). - MetaFont also produces the file CMAPL10.TFM containing the -metric information of the characters in the font. These are needed -by TeX, and they can be downloaded as such (at least if you are -using Micro-TeX or PCTeX). - - In order to use the mnemonics, the macros in APLSTYLE are -needed. There are basically two ways of merging APL code. There are -standard macros called VERBATIM, which enable the user to produce -'typewriter-like' output. As APL is modelled on a typewriter style, -too, it has been reasonable to extend VERBATIM to accept different -typewriter-like fonts. The escape sequence \choosett enables you to -choose the font you want to use. Thus, \choosett{tentt} swithces -the standard font CMTT10 on, whereas \choosett{apl} chooses the font -APL, defined in APLSTYLE by '\font\apl = cmapl10'. First, you can -insert APL code into text lines. In this case you can call any -APL symbol either by its 2-letter mnemonic (for example \BX produces the -box symbol) if there is no symbol for it OR otherwise by its name -surrounded by two @'s. (The @ character swithces into the current -typewriter style.) Thus, @A_B@ produces 'A <-- B' in APL style, because -'_' is the name of '<--' in Digital's mnemonics. Secondly, you can -insert APL code in 'screenlike' mode. The code is to be delimited -by the pair \begintt - \endtt. Example: - -\begintt - @DL Z_ZNPLUS N;@BXIO % Here '@' replaces '\' as the escape -[1] @BXIO_0 % character -[2] Z_N@AB(@ION)@SO.+@ION - @DL -\endtt - -Please note that in this case the material between \begintt -- \endtt -is considered by TeX as a vertical box that cannot be divided between -pages. Thus, if you have a long APL function, it might produce -a message of underfull vbox. - - |
