Overview of the DEC Text Processing Utility 1.2 Description of DECwindows DECTPU 1.2.1 DECwindows DECTPU and DECwindows Features The DECwindows environment has a number of toolkits and libraries that contain routines for creating and manipulating DECwindows interfaces. DECwindows DECTPU contains a number of built-in procedures that provide access to the routines in the DECwindows libraries and toolkits. With these procedures, you can create and manipulate various features of a DECwindows interfa

Overview of the DEC Text Processing Utility 1.2 Description of DECwindows DECTPU The DECwindows version of DECTPU does not provide access to all of the features of DECwindows. For example, there are no DECTPU built-in procedures to handle floating-point numbers or to manipulate entities such as lines, curves, and fonts. With DECwindows DECTPU, you can create a wide variety of widgets, designate callback routines for those widgets, fetch and set geometry and text-related resources of the widgets,

Overview of the DEC Text Processing Utility 1.4 DECTPU Language 1.4.1 Data Types The DECTPU language has an extensive set of data types. You use data types to interpret the meaning of the contents of a variable. Unlike many languages, the DECTPU language has no declarative statement to enforce which data type must be assigned to a variable. A variable in DECTPU assumes a data type when it is used in an assignment statement. For example, the following statement assigns a string data type to the v

Overview of the DEC Text Processing Utility 1.4 DECTPU Language 1.4.5 User-Written Procedures You can write your own procedures that combine DECTPU language statements and calls to DECTPU built-in procedures. DECTPU procedures can return values and can be recursive. After you write a procedure and compile it, you use the procedure name to invoke it. When writing a procedure, use the following guidelines: • Start each procedure with the word PROCEDURE, followed by the procedure name of your choic

Overview of the DEC Text Processing Utility 1.6 Learning Path for DECTPU 1.6 Learning Path for DECTPU The suggested path for learning to use DECTPU is to first read the documentation describing EVE if you are not familiar with that editor. The DECTPU/EVE documentation contains both reference and tutorial material for new EVE users. It also contains material for more experienced users of text editors and explains how to use DECTPU to extend the EVE interface. When you are familiar with EVE, you ma
