HTMLRenderer: time line for documentation availability?

[ArrayMac227]

While this seems to be a welcome feature, there doesn't seem to be any documentation/demos available at present. When should we expect some?

Hi Randy

The documentation has been available in the Documentation Centre since the release of Dyalog version 16.0 – see http://docs.dyalog.com/16.0/Dyalog%20Ex ... nderer.pdf

It is still evolving but there should be sufficient information in there to get you started.

In addition, Brian gave a presentation on the HTMLRenderer at Dyalog '17; although the video has not yet been published, you can download his slides from https://www.dyalog.com/user-meetings/dyalog17.htm (presentation D09). The video will hopefully be available by the end of November.

I hope that helps but please let me know if there's anything in particular that you can't find documentation for.

Thanks. Fiona

Thank you for this information, Fiona. It looks like browser functionality is now covered via APL.

Is there any documentation on the required resources (files) for HTMLRenderer distribution? Any license and runtime requirements?

Hi Norbert,

Sorry for the long delay in answering!

Here is a list of HTMLRenderer related files for Dyalog for Windows:

The three main ones are
AplWrapper.dll
http.dll
HttpInterceptor.dll
These are likely to change as bugs are fixed.

For a runtime environment you’ll also need:
cef.pak
cef_100_percent.pak
cef_200_percent.pak
cef_extensions.pak
chrome_elf.dll
d3dcompiler_43.dll
d3dcompiler_47.dll
devtools_resources.pak
icudtl.dat
libcef.dll
libEGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
locales/*
natives_blob.bin
snapshot_blob.bin
widevinecdmadapter.dll

HTMLRenderer is implemented using the Chromium Embedded Framework and you can read more about it here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_ ... _Framework

Regards,

Vince

Just got version 17.0; HTMLRenderer is noticeably faster. ++
