| <h2> |
| 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> |

| <h2> |
| How do I build scrptrun and srtest?</h2> |
| To use the ScriptRun class in a Windows application, just include scrptrun.h |
| and scrptrun.cpp right out of the <icu>\source\extra\scrptrun directory |
| into your project. You'll also need to add the <icu>\source]extra\scrptrun |
| directory to the "Additional include directories" section of the "Preprocessor" |
| category on the "C/C++" tab in the project settings. |
| <p>On UNIX systems the simplest thing to do is to just copy scrptrun.h |
| and scrptrun.cpp into your source directory. If you want to use them from |
| <icu>/source/extra/scrpturn, it's a bit trickier: the default dependency |
| rules don't work on source files in a different directory. You need to |
| add separate dependency rules for scrptrun.o and scrptrun.d. See <icu>/source/samples/layout/Makefile.in |
| for an example of how to do this. You'll also have to add -I$(top_srcdir)/extra/scrptrun |
| to your compiler flags so that the compiler can find scrptrun.h. If your |
| application has to build on multiple UNIX platforms, it might be difficult |
| to wirte dependency rules that will work correctly on all platforms. In |
| that case, you're probably better off copying the scrpturn files to your |
| source directory. |
| <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 |
| the support for paired punctuation is only a prototype. A complete implementation |
| will be added to ICU in the future.</li> |
