Had we tried to draw the line at 0.0 only the top half of the line would have fallen into the pixel. So for a 1pt line to exactly fill that pixel, it must be centered inside the pixel at a y-coordinate of 0.5. This means that if you imagine a pixel as a square, the bottom of the square is at y-coordinate of 0.0, and the top of the square is at 1.0. On the Macintosh screen pixels are one point (1pt) wide. This means that a thin line has to be drawn at the exact same coordinate as the pixel it should fill. To accomplish this we have to prevent the lines from being antialiased when drawn on screen. When drawing table cells we wanted to make sure that the border edges look sharp and clean.
For instance: drawing table cell borders. There are a lot of little details that take time to get things just right. Tables are a major feature for Nisus Writer Express version 2.0, and we’ve been working hard on them.
There, once you’ve created the “block indent” or “block quote” style, one click achieves the desired result… almost the same as Nisus Writer Express coming shipped with a button.Ĭan you think of other ways to customize Nisus Writer Express that others might appreciate knowing about? You should, however (in Nisus Writer Express 2.x), be able to create a “Style” in the “Style Sheets” view of Nisus Writer Express that will consist of an indented paragraph (you’ll set the ruler parameters along with the font, etc.) Then, you’ll be able to select a range of text (put your insertion point inside a paragraph or select portions of various paragraphs) and click that style’s name in the Style palette. There is not now, nor has there ever been a button you can push that will indent an entire paragraph. To paraphrase the House Un-American Activities Committee: However, that does not mean that you (any user) can’t extend the “out of the box” capabilities of Nisus Writer Express to fulfill unforeseen needs. We have not made provisions for any such “buttons”. Second, (a more accurate description of ‘block indent’) will there be a button you can push that will indent both right and left margins of a paragraph? An example of needing this feature would be, say, if you have a quote that is too long for quotation marks, you will want to ‘block indent’ it, which means the paragraph is centered on the page, but indented on both right and left margins. A user recently asked for a button that would “ block indent” selected text:įirst, will there be a button you can push that will indent an entire paragraph?
