The ministry left a 24-page book of glossy photos for passersby with images of the FH-70 Howitzer, the MiG-29 fighter, the Bayraktar TB2 drone, the Stinger and, of course, the Javelin. To the right was Norinco, or the China North Industries Corporation, the state-run manufacturer and another of the world’s largest contractors. To the left, the ministry’s neighbor was Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest defense contractor, with panels advertising Javelin, its anti-tank missile that’s been used for more than 25 years and proven especially popular for Ukraine. The booth’s location also made it hard to ignore. Every piece of glass was shattered, every surface of the vehicle charred. On one side of the booth, the ministry displayed images of burned-out armored vehicles and Russian tanks without tracks. Representatives from Coges, the organizers of the biennial Eurosatory conference, noted in an email that Ukraine confirmed its participation in the show before Russia’s invasion in late February. Ukrainian officials did not respond to a request for an interview to discuss their booth at the trade show, nor did leaders from Spetstechnoexport, the state-owned company responsible for the booth and the country’s military imports. A second later, a cut to the burnt scrap and wreckage. In another, what is presumably a Russian plane is hit from a Strila-10 anti-aircraft system, then descends toward the ground and explodes into a fireball. In one scene, what appears to be Russian trucks are spotted from overhead, camouflaged in the woods. The montage of war footage is purportedly of Russia’s invasion this year and Ukraine’s efforts to fight back. For the first four days of the Eurosatory conference here, small crowds, the kind usually reserved for popular trade show attractions such as robotic dogs or strong espresso coffee, gathered outside and watched, mostly silent and expressionless. There, a video showing the military weapons Ukraine is relying on to defend itself against a Russian invasion ran on a loop. PARIS - As leaders from France, Germany and Italy visited Kiev this week, more than a dozen businessmen were stopped, perhaps even transfixed, in front of a booth for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense at a defense industry trade show near Paris. \rz replace text with given brush/register drag and draw with current brush (register) replace with a \, move up and left, and insert a \ replace with a /, move up and right, and insert a / replace with a /, move down and left, and insert a / replace with a \, move down and right, and insert a \ move down, inserting lines/space as needed move up, inserting lines/space as needed move right, inserting lines/space as needed move and draw down, inserting lines/space as needed move and draw up, inserting lines/space as needed move and draw right, inserting lines/space as needed DrawIt's number pad maps will expand the file as necessary to accomodate the drawing, automatically. When DrawIt is terminated it restores the user's maps and options. The components of DrawIt will then be placed where they belong, based on your Vim's runtimepath.ĭrawIt records many user options that affect DrawIt and all maps that starting DrawIt creates. After decompressing the file, edit it with Vim, and then source it (:so %). Using the shift-arrow keys, DrawIt will move the cursor, expanding lines and inserting spaces as needed, without changing underlying text.ĭrawIt is now in the vimball format, which is understood by the new Vim 7.0 release. DrC has written an ellipse-drawing Bresenham-style procedure: again, use the visual block selection to specify a box to contain the ellipse and \e to trigger the ellipse drawing.ĭrawIt incorporates an "erase" mode, toggled by the key, that will leave a trail of blanks behind and under the cursor as it is moved by the number pad. Use visual-block selection to specify starting and ending positions and a Bresenham line drawing algorithm will be used to connect the two.

Viart's has been merged with the original DrawIt (vimscript#11) (by permission). DrawIt can also draw boxes and ellipses on a blank-filled area (DrawIt can produce these) which can be useful for drawing boxes around comments. The lines will be expanded as needed to accomodate your drawing.

When DrawIt has been started you may use the number pad to leave a trail of dashes, vertical bars, etc. One may change the horizontal, vertical, slant, and crossing characters to whichever characters one wishes. Optionally one may "cap" the lines with arrowheads. DrawIt is a plugin which allows one to draw lines left, right, up, down, and along both slants.
