MODULE Out IN Oberon; (** portable *) (* based on module from "Programming in Oberon" *)
(** Simple output routines for writing text into the Oberon log or a separate viewer. *)
IMPORT Texts, Oberon;
VAR T: Texts.Text; W: Texts.Writer; epoch: CHAR; (*
epoch = "i" denoting "append immediately",
epoch = "e" denoting "append at end of line". *)
PROCEDURE SetEpoch*(c: CHAR); BEGIN epoch := c END SetEpoch;
PROCEDURE Append();
BEGIN
IF epoch = "i" THEN
Texts.Append(T, W.buf)
ELSIF epoch = "e" THEN (* Postpone *)
ELSE
Texts.WriteString(W, "Character "); Texts.Write(W, epoch);
Texts.WriteString(W, " in epoch not recognizable."); Texts.WriteLn(W);
Texts.Append(T, W.buf)
END
END Append;
(** Write character. *)
PROCEDURE Char*(ch: CHAR);
BEGIN
Texts.Write(W, ch); Append()
END Char;
(** Write a string. *)
PROCEDURE String*(str: ARRAY OF CHAR);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteString(W, str); Append()
END String;
(** Write the integer i in n field positions. *)
PROCEDURE Int*(i, n: LONGINT);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteInt(W, i, n); Append()
END Int;
(** Write the integer i in hexadecimal with a leading space. *)
PROCEDURE Hex*(i: LONGINT);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteHex(W, i); Append()
END Hex;
(** Write the real x in n field positions. *)
PROCEDURE Real*(x: REAL; n: INTEGER);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteReal(W, x, n); Append()
END Real;
(** Write the real x in n field positions in fixed point notation with f fraction digits. *)
PROCEDURE RealFix*(x: REAL; n, f: INTEGER);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteRealFix(W, x, n, f, 0); Append()
END RealFix;
(** Write the longreal x in n field positions. *)
PROCEDURE LongReal*(x: LONGREAL; n: INTEGER);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteLongReal(W, x, n); Append()
END LongReal;
(** Write the longreal x in n field positions in fixed point notation with f fraction digits. *)
PROCEDURE LongRealFix*(x: LONGREAL; n, f: INTEGER);
BEGIN
Texts.WriteLongRealFix(W, x, n, f, 0); Append()
END LongRealFix;
(** Write a carriage return (CR or end-of-line). *)
PROCEDURE Ln*;
BEGIN
Texts.WriteLn(W); Texts.Append(T, W.buf)
END Ln;
(** Open a separate viewer for output. *)
PROCEDURE Open*;
BEGIN
IF T = Oberon.Log THEN NEW(T); Texts.Open(T, "") END;
Oberon.OpenText("Out.Text", T, 400, 200)
END Open;
(** Revert output to the system log. *)
PROCEDURE Close*;
BEGIN
T := Oberon.Log
END Close;
BEGIN
Texts.OpenWriter(W); T := Oberon.Log; epoch := "e"
END Out.
(** Remarks:
1. Out uses a Writer from module Texts to write output to the log.
When epoch = "i" Out is slow because the log is updated after every
procedure call. When epoch = "e" performance is better. Best
performance is when Texts is used directly. SetEpoch() is exported
for programmatical change of epoch.
2. Out.Open creates a new text and viewer for output. Once this is
done, output can be sent to the system log again by executing Close.
