[Openmcl-devel] OpenGL / Lisp User Interface / XMLisp 0.3

[John Miller]

Alex,

I do not mind at all.  It is a good way to learn how you intend the  
code to be used.  with-gl is a simple macro:

(defmacro with-gl (value &body body)
   `(progn (glBegin ,value)
      , at body
      (glEnd)))

Not much to it, but what it buys you in a Lisp-aware editor is  
indentation of the code wrapped by the glBegin and glEnd.  I think it  
makes things a bit more readable.

slui is a wrapper to a call to cl-who:html.  It was suggested by  
someone on this list a while back as an alternative to writing XML to  
define the UI's.  I see < and > and can not help but think of them  
more as angry parenthesis, and I am worried that they might try to  
pick a fight with some of the meeker members of my code.  So I try to  
avoid them when I can.

(defmacro slui (s-expression)
   `(let* ((*read-eval* t)
           (cl-who:*html-empty-tag-aware-p* nil))
      (read-from-string
       (cl-who:with-html-output-to-string
           (s nil :indent t)
         ,s-expression))))

I'll keep those tutorials coming as I can get to them.

Regards,
John
