nanDECK - What's new in version 1.14

New FONTCHANGE directive

This directive is useful when you want to temporarily change the fonts used in a script to other fonts (and you haven't used any label); for example when you test a script on a pc without a font. The syntax is:

FONTCHANGE = "old font", "new font"

New LIMIT directive

This directive charges four variables with the last object's coordinates (PT, PB, PL, PR = top, bottom, left, right). For example, if you want to draw a circle below a square, this is the script:

RECTANGLE = 1, 3, 1, 2, 2, #FF0000
LIMIT = 1
ELLIPSE = 1, PL, PB, 2, 2, #0000FF

This is the result:

New CONCAT function

This label function creates a new label concatenating different elements, the syntax is:

[label] = CONCAT(param1, num1, param2, num2...)

For example, with this line:

[label] = CONCAT(#000000, 3, #FFFFFF, 2)

The result is:

[test] = #000000#000000#000000#FFFFFF#FFFFFF

Added parameters to PAGE directive to hide guidelines

If you didn't want to show the guidelines on odd pages, you can use the E parameter, for example:

PAGE = 21, 29.7, PORTRAIT, E

If you didn't want to show the guidelines on even pages, change the last parameter to O.

Added parameter to TEXT directive for outlined text

This parameter draws a text with an outlined font, for example:

FONT = Arial, 48, , #000000
TEXT = 1, "Outline", 0, 0, 100%, 100%, center, center, 0, 100, 0.1

The last parameter is the width of the line utilized to outline the font. This is the result:

Added parameter to FONT directive to disable clipping

Normally, a text is clipped outside its rectangle, if you want to disable the clipping, add a N parameter to the FONT directive.

Added parameter to SAVE directive for creating zip

When you save cards' images, you can add them to a zip file, adding a parameter to the SAVE directive, for example:

SAVE = 1, "example.png", 0, 0, 100%, 100%, , "c:\test.zip"

Added parameters to HTMLTEXT/HTMLFILE directives to increase definition

This parameter increases the resolution used for the rendering of HTML files/texts. For example, if you want a x2 rendering:

HTMLFILE = 1, "test.html", 0, 0, 100%, 100%, #FFFFFF, 0, 2

Added parameter to FRAMECLOCK function for rotating frames

The last parameter rotates the whole "clock" created with FRAMECLOCK, for example, this is a rotation of 90°:

[clock] = FRAMECLOCK(0, 0, 6, 9, 1, 1, 12, 90)

Using Frames for Frames' definitions

Now you can define a frame using multiple frames as sources, for example:

[atom] = FRAMEHEX(0, 0, 100%, 100%, 0.75, N)
[elec°] = FRAMECLOCK(<atom*>, 0.5, 0.5, 6, 30)
ELLIPSE = 1, <atom*>, #HHHHHH#HHHHHH@360
ELLIPSE = 1, <elec*>, #HHHHHH#HHHHHH@360

This is the result:

Label definition with conditions and loops

Label definitions can be done conditionally or within a loop. This is the syntax:

[label]%[condition], variable, start, stop, step = [value]

Note: the [condition] must be another label, and the text "variable" can be used both in name and value. For example:

[check1] = [a] = 1
[check2] = [a] <> 1
[color]%[check1] = #FF0000
[color]%[check2] = #0000FF

Another example:

[lab(count)]%,(count), 1, 10 = {(count)^2}
