Last update | 03 mar 2001
Features | - can import simple and complex Applix Spreadsheet documents - tests the headline of the document - converts <, >, &, to &lt; &gt; &amp; - converts all applix special characters - converts fontsize, fontcolor, horizontal and vertical alignment, bold, italic, underline - eats long text strings (more than one row in inputfile) - converts different tables inside of one document - cellformat: background color, brushstyles, brushcolor - cellframe: linewidth, linetype, linecolor - row height and column width - converting the fontfamily (incl. reading the typeface table) - correct process bar value emiting (procent) - rows A-Z and greater Z (AA-ZZ) are right translate into integer values - detects formulas
Todo | - cellframes: double lines are not supported in kspread till now. So they can't translated correct. - check the row height and column width - they are not right sometimes - grouped row and column formats - add endoffile checking with dialog in do-while loops - convert a formula, date or something else right with cell references - change the printf output to debug (xxxxx) output
History |
17 mar 2001 | : | The fontfamily in support (incl. bugfix) Longnamed columns like AA are right supported now- for cell elements and column width elements Corrected the row width values. They start with 32768! Little code cleanup. Updated the fileformat description.
13 mar 2001 | : | Added the progress bar value emiting (David Faure)
11 mar 2001 | : | Added fileformat description.
10 mar 2001 | : | Checked in this version after discussion with David Faure. He told me that he just tried to begin with a applix spreadsheet import filter too.
09 mar 2001 | : | Read the row height and column width.
03 mar 2001 | : | Reads the typefont and the colortable, converts cmyk to rgb, added some style information (cell and string)
24 feb 2001 | : | Add <, >, & and applix character convertation
11 feb 2001 | : | Written a filter that only can filter simple applix files

Progress report | Fileformat: Main Structure: 1. Header 2. Colortable 3. Fonttable ... 4. View ... 5. Headers and footers 6. Cellvalues 7. End 1. Header: The headerline looks like that: *BEGIN SPREADSHEETS VERSION=430/430 ENCODING=7BIT 2. Colormap: The colormap has 3 parts 2.1. Starting line 2.2. Value lines 2.3. Ending line 2.1. Colormap start: The colormap begins with this line COLORMAP 2.2. Colormap value: A color value line has the following parts (cmyk - colorsystem) Text 0 c m y k 0
2.2.1. | Text | = Textstring | -
2.2.2. | 0 | = NULL | -
2.2.3. | c | = cyan | 0-255
2.2.4. | m | = magenta | 0-255
2.2.5. | y | = yellow | 0-255
2.2.6. | k | = black (key) | 0-255
2.2.7. | 0 | = NULL | -
Color converting is very simple cmyk to rgb: r = 255 - (c+k) g = 255 - (m+k) b = 255 - (y+k) If the value of r, g or b if less then 0 you must set it to 0 . For examples inside calligra look a this files too calligra/kimageshop/core/kis_color.cc and kis_color.h 2.3. Colormap end: The colormap ends with this line: END COLORMAP 3. Fonttable: The fonttable has 3 parts 3.1. Starting line 3.2. Value lines 3.3. Ending line 3.1. Starting line The fonttable begins with this line: TYPEFACE TABLE 3.2. Value line The fonttable value line looks like that: Helvetica 3.3. Ending line The colormap ends with this line ends with END TYPEFACE TABLE 4. View: Each table has its own view section and everyone has 3 parts 4.1. Starting line 4.2. Value lines 4.3. Ending line This is an example with the table name A 4.1. Starting line The view of table A begins with this line: View Start, Name: ~A:~ 4.2. Value lines There are different value lines, but all of them start with view There are following important value lines: 4.2.1. Column width 4.2.2. Row heights 4.2.1. Column width In the view of an table block is for example the width of a column: View Column Widths: A:3 B:3 C:3 D:3 E:3 F:3 G:4 H:4 4.2.1. Row height or the height of a row View Row Heights: 3:18 4:24 8:32804 Attention: If the row value is greater then 32768 you have to calc rowHeight = rowHeight - 32768 to get the right value! 4.3. Ending line The view of table A ends with this line: View End, Name: ~A:~ 5. Headers and footers: The headers and footers section has 3 parts 5.1. Starting line 5.2. Value lines 5.3. Ending line 5.1. Starting line The headers and footers section begins with this line: Headers And Footers 5.2. Value lines - - 5.3. Ending line The headers and footers section end with Headers And Footers End 6. Cellvalue: This is a cellvalue line ('DN|B,I,U,TF1,P18|T4) A!D11: Hello everybody a cellvalue line has 3 parts: 6.1. Formatpart 6.2. Location part 6.3. Text String, formular, value, link, etc. 6.1.
