Vvidget Code > Extraordinary Dictionary > Calendar
This section explains how to form a dictionary for a calendar such as this:
The interesting thing about this dictionary is that it has little to do with a graph. It is just a quick demonstration that shows how Vvidget can be used for nearly anything. The Calendar is made from a template drawn using Vvidget Builder. Although it is a pretty bland calendar, you can use the template to jazz it up, add your own logos, etc. and then you can easily print an entire years, or centuries, worth in a Cocoa application or by using a script. Or perhaps you will form a company to automate and sell custom print calendars on the web, sell millions of calendars per year and become famous.
An example code fragment illustration follows:
/* Start of Illustration Code Fragment */
|
The code fragment above can be inserted into the illustration code section of the Illustration project for an immediate running Cocoa application. For additional information consult the Illustration section.
The symbol form follows:
[constructor VC_append_key:"pvs_version" string_value:@"1"];
|
The following table defines the dictionary key and value pairs:
| Chart Specific Entries | |
| Key | Value Description |
| image_maker | Always calendar indicating a Calendar. |
| image_width | The width of the calendar. |
| image_height | The height of the calendar. |
| start_month | The start month. |
| start_year | The start year. |
| selected_days_of_month | A comma delimited list of selected days of the month, for example: 1,6,9,25. |
