Since the drawing API offers no guarantees about where text drawing might have effects, it's unsafe to erase text other than by wiping the clipping rectangle that was in effect when it was drawn. In practice, this means that all variable (including colour) text should be drawn with a narrow clipping rectangle. It wasn't actually a practical problem that Pattern didn't clip its clues, but I'll like to make its fonts less tiny, which will make it more likely to need clipping in odd cases. This also factors out some repeated computations in draw_numbers().
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
