What is scrptrun and srtest?</h2>
|
|
The ICU LayoutEngine must be called with text in a single script. scrptrun.h
|
|
and scrptrun.cpp implement the ScriptRun class, which can be used to find
|
|
runs of text that is in a single script. It uses a basic iteration interface.
|
|
<p>srtest is a little program that tests ScriptRun. You can use it as an
|
|
example of how to use ScriptRun. Here's what the output should look like:
|
|
<blockquote><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'DEVANAGARI'
|
|
from 0 to 9.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'ARABIC' from
|
|
9 to 17.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'CYRILLIC' from
|
|
17 to 25.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'LATIN' from
|
|
25 to 33.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'HAN' from 33
|
|
to 35.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'HIRAGANA' from
|
|
35 to 41.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'KATAKANA' from
|
|
41 to 45.</font></font>
|
|
<br><font face="Courier New,Courier"><font size=-1>Script 'DESERET' from
|
|
45 to 53.</font></font></blockquote>

|
How do I build scrptrun and srtest?</h2>
|
|
To use ScriptRun in your application, copy scrptrun.h and scrptrun.cpp
|
|
to your source directory, and use them just as if they were part of your
|
|
application. ScriptRun is so small that it's not worth making it into a
|
|
separate library.
|
|
<p>Building srtest is easy, on Windows build the srtest workspace in <icu>\source\extra\scrptrun.
|
|
On UNIX, connect to <top-build-dir>/extra/scrptrun and do "make all"
|

Notes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
ScriptRun is based on <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr24/">Unicode
|
|
Technical Report #24</a> but the implementation is not complete. In particular
|
|
it doesn't handle paired punctuation correctly. A complete implemetation
|
|
will be added to ICU in the future.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Because ScriptRun is designed to be used with the LayoutEngine, it uses
|
|
the LayoutEngine's coding conventions instead of ICU's coding conventions.</li>
