Description

I suggest this banner for CoCoA-5

      "   ______      ______      ___         ______\n" 
      "  / ____/___  / ____/___  /   |       / ____/\n" 
      " / /   / __ `/ /   / __ `/ /| |______/___ `  \n" 
      "/ /___/ /_/ / /___/ /_/ / ___ /_____/___/ /  \n" 
      "`____/`____/`____/`____/_/  |_|    /_____/   "  << endl;

in package? in sources?

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott almost 12 years ago

Will we use the banner in the GUI?
It might be tricky to make it look good if/when the user changes font.

The proposed banner is OK.

#2 Updated by John Abbott almost 12 years ago

Should "5" be part of the banner?

I think so: it is quite different from CoCoA-4, so we'd better emphasize it

The function is called PrintCoCoA5Banner.
I'm checking it all in.
If by default it is printed badly in teh GUI we can decide what to do about it.

In fact it is called in two different places for the text or GUI versions (a bit non-symmetric for my taste, really), so it will be easy to fix it if we don't like it.

I placed the definition of the banner in the files Banner.[CH].
I do not like adding a separate file for such a small thing, but the function needs to be accessible from C5.C and Main.C, and they have no common "include".

Maybe there are other similar (small?) things in common between C5.C and Main.C which can be moved into an external file. In that case the Banner file might change name in future.

I think it is nice to have something looking like "I'm ready now" after the long list of loaded packages.

It might be tricky to make it look good if/when the user changes font.

Indeed... I was fairly sure that the default font was fixed-width (and had no pity for those who change it), but it isn't. So I replaced it with a much simpler one.
It would be nice to insert a picture, but I have no idea if that's even possible.
