1. Funky? Not entirely sure of the meaning but my guess is you're referring to the contents of the calendar months as shown in Map view. Changes in v5 & v6 map UI mean the layout need a bit of tweaking. You want to look at the agent at
/System/Agents/DayDate generator and Formatting/Day Formatting, specifically the reset values for $MapScrollX and $MapScrollY. If you were referring to some other facet of that doc, could you be a bit more descriptive as to where we should be looking?
2. Pie charts. Yes, in v6. I'e not used them extensively. These are MB's notes:
Quote:A new plot pattern, “pie”, allows you to add a pie chart to a note or container.
For containers, the patterns:
pie($AttributeName)
pie(expression)
generate a pie chart in which the expression is evaluated for each immediate child of the container. For notes that are not containers, the pattern:
pie(expression, min, max)
generates a simple pie-chart indicator. For example:
pie(50,0,100)
would generate a semicircle. If min is not specified, it is zero. If max is not specified, it is 100.
3. Tabs. v6.1.0 release notes state:
Tinderbox now saves the tab state of each window separately, and restores the tab state when loading the window.
4.
Date designators, can't be stored as values - 'today' is parsed into a date value immediately it is applied. I assume you're thinking about building out grids of map objects with dates//times. The best approach for this I've found is to set the 'first' object (hour of day, day of month, whatever) and have the rest of the grid set themselves via a rule (or stamp) based on their previous sibling. For instance set your day prototype so $RuleDisabled is true (i.e. rule doesn't run in the prototype) then give it the $Rule:
if($StartDate=="never"&$SiblingOrder>1&$StartDate(prevSibling)!="never"){$StartD
ate = date($StartDate(prevSibling)+"1 day");}Now, if a note is set to use the prototype it will always be 1 day (same time) later than its previous sibling. Sibling #1 is never set as it's assumed the user will set that to seed the correct date. You can add in more date maths if you need to skip weekends, but i hope the general idea is clear. You don't have to use a rule - you could use similar code in a Stamp if you prefer that way of doing things.
