I'd say it's the format specified in RFC 5322: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322.html#section-3.3, so for example: Sat, 13 Apr 2024 11:45:15 +0200

StopVectorDrawing() is needed to finish and display the drawing operation, so maybe moving StartVectorDrawing() and StopVectorDrawing() into the loop helps. MouseButton() and the Mouse library are used on screens, better use the event types the CanvasGadget provides for mouse keys.

#PB_Font_Underline is only supported on Windows.

Define.s zPath = GetTemporaryDirectory() + "test.pdf" If StartVectorDrawing(PdfVectorOutput(zPath, 400, 200)) If LoadFont(0, "Arial", 12, #PB_Font_Underline) VectorFont(FontID(0), 3) DrawVectorText("Test") EndIf StopVectorDrawing() RunProgram(zPath) EndIf Define.s zPat...

Yes, the example linked is also my quick&dirty test code so it could use a rework. Regarding the return values I'm not sure in which cases StartVectorDrawing() returns zero and if it is reliable enough to assume that the file really exists. But I could at least pass trough its return value to ha...

Thanks to PB 6.10, there is, beginning with v.1.13, direct pdf and svg output support for Windows, too. The PurePDF and pbPDF versions of VecVi won't get updated anymore. ; v.1.11 (2022-10-11) ; - fixed bug with pagebreak and x position reset ; v.1.12 (2023-10-10) ; - fixed bug causing crash when se...

Thanks Fred

The rewrite seems to be correct. Maybe a server configuration issue?

Afaik the differences in the generated svg come from the use of different engines, the Windows one written by freak (cf. https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=471767#p471767). On Windows, the svg attributes are used, the linux engine styles the elements with css. If mixed in one object, t...

reload the first xml into a map, add the new values and compose it again.

Updated to v.1.10, mainly for improving the performance of the print preview with larger data. Now only the elements that need to be displayed will be calculated before. In addition some minor improvements, clarifications and bugfixes. ; v.1.10 (2020-07-24) ; - completely reworked processing and dra...

I use PB's PdfVectorOutput() which is not supported on Windows. On Linux and MacOS,
you can use VecVi::OutputPDF(). For PDF output on Windows, there is the fork with
PurePDF usage mentioned in my previous post.

After a long time, I uploaded a new version with some smaller bug fixes and
a new output channel (image on canvas) to improve performance.

I've also written a fork of VecVi that uses PurePDF to create pdf files on windows,
if someone is interested in this, I can publish it, too.

if I use an included font in a PDF created by PurePDF, the styling gets lost: the last line shoudn't be bold, but it is, though. file$=GetTemporaryDirectory() + "fonttest.pdf" #PurePDF_Include=1 XIncludeFile "PurePDF.pb" pdf_Create() pdf_AddPage() pdf_SetFont("Arial",&q...
