Subject: Printing current time using characters
Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2022 03:11:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ThNZhQl4efYeyunL5QXXHRz0QwVXCkpJl5a22pAHGzBfxNsN3pop3YYpHTqTXxmY-PNa5sKLJ0fWhMdpdEVq_IBI6VMfprzDz6DVYkDrC9s=@protonmail.com> (raw)
I would like to get the time, then insert the equivalent using characters.
Suppose the time is 14:42:17, I want to have the following
H_H_ ; Hours (12 hours)
M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M_ ; Minutes in 5 minute steps
M_M_ ; Minutes on remainder
S_S_S_ ; Seconds in 5 second steps
S_S_ ; Seconds on remainder
I have the following three functions to print "H_", "M_" and "S_".
(defun ticker-hour ()
"TODO."
(interactive)
(insert (propertize "H"
'font-lock-face '(:background "red"
:foreground "white")))
(insert "_"))
and the same for minutes and seconds using the two corresponding functions
"ticker-minute" and "ticker-second".
