A RightToLeft option into Multiview support

Post by gdridi »

Hello,

To continue to demo Arabic support on AmigaOS 4.1FE, I need an option on Multiview for RightToLeft support ; that’s font that displays from RTL (this is weird, I know).

Take a look at this RTL feature example on ArabicLauncher program demo on TikTok :

or landscape (TikTok isn’t think for showing code ! )

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFw446LF/

Also, keep going on watching my 3 videos of Arabic console on os4depot.net - 18/12/2022 http://www.os4depot.net/?function=modul ... leid=12353

Regards,
DGILLES

Just a question: Maybe the datatype should do the layout like TDTA_WordWrap?

Thank you
I mean a right to left displacement from a right margin.

A statement of Ali Gholami Rudi:
"The main issue is that I think a terminal should change neither the position
nor the shape of characters on the screen and rendering bidirectional text
should be handled by programs that use the terminal and not the terminal
itself. A terminal is like a simple shelf on which you put characters;
it should not change their order (or shape) on its own. Breaking this
assumption by default does not seem a good idea. This may be a convenient
feature for some users; in that case I suggest not changing the default
behaviour, and adding an option for that instead."
