Frequently Asked Questions about McCLIM

1. How do I copy and paste into McCLIM Applications?

   Select text by holding shift and dragging the cursor. Shift-click pastes text into the application.

2. Where is the spec?

   There are two HTML versions of the CLIM 2 specification:

   • Annotatable CLIM Specification (conversion done by Gilbert Baumann).
   • CLIM Specification (conversion done by Mike McDonald).

   Much more documentation can be found at the Documentation page.

3. How do I enable antialiasing on the (default) CLX backend?

   There are two available antialiasing packages: mcclim-truetype and mcclim-freetype.
   

   Truetype is more recently developed, written fully in Lisp, and does not depend on Freetype. Also, the rendered characters look different than those made by Freetype ("Mac-like" is a positive description, "blurry" a negative one). You can load the mcclim-truetype system using:

   (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :mcclim-truetype)
   

   Alternatively, to use Freetype via FFI, load the mcclim-freetype system:

   (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :mcclim-freetype)
   

4. I get symbol conflicts/strange errors in my CLIM program

   It is possible that your package is :USEing the :CL package. For CLIM applications, you should :USE the :CLIM-LISP package instead. (Don't worry, it's not some special implementation of CL that CLIM programs must be written in, it's just necessary for some of the magic CLIM does to fit in.)
