November 2008 Archives

Your code is beautiful, formatted to your liking and spaced just how you want it, but sometimes you have to work with other people’s code – yuck! If only there was something that would make it look like your code, instead of spaghetti. Artistic Style, or astyle as it is also known, is a great open source application that does exactly that.

So you can quickly turn this:

Into this:

We plan on implementing astyle into the editor at some point in the future, but I’m not so patient, and I decided to use our plugin mechanism to do it now, and will show you how.

I was just doing technical support for one of our site license customers. It occurred to me that many folks don’t know that is an option. Doing a site license has these benefits:

  • quite low unit pricing
  • easy availability of Understand to when engineers move in and out of projects
  • much easier licensing (no license manager, it just works on your IP ranges or domains)

If your site might be interested just contact Sue or Kevin at sales@scitools.com to learn cost and technical options.
