The

time proto also displays an analog clock with which the
user can set a time value. Although this proto is still available for use, it has

Implementing a Simple Time Setter
7
To implement a time setter, define your template with the proto that you want
to use, specify the initial time value to show in the clock, and define the
to use, specify the initial time value to show in the clock, and define the
TimeChanged
method. You might also need to define additional slots or messages,
as described in "Time Protos" (page 6-38) in Newton Programmer's Reference.
The following example is a template that uses
protoDigitalClock
to allow the
user to specify a time:
clock := {...
_proto: protoDigitalClock,
_proto: protoDigitalClock,
time: 0,
TimeChanged: func()
begin
// add your code to respond to time change
print(time);
end,
end,
