hi all there , I'm playing around with this example from the nice Spec
book, which I try to get right for spec2. That's all right. I modify the
example for having two counters, one bound to the class of the Surveys
and then one for each survey. That was a good learning experience. Then I
added a button to spawn further a Survey which participates of the class-bound
count of votes. That's all right too. Then I started to write a method
that given a Rectangle, and a number n, gives an array of n Points that
are in the enclosed circle of the rectangle, more or less. Waht I want to
achieve es that for each added Survey, its Spec2 - Morph window gets
positioned in one of these points, but before rendering it, re position
all the already existing Spec2 - Morphs Survey windows in the rest of the
points of the array (being n the total number of Surveys after adding one).
I'm facing two challenges: (a) getting the list of current positions of
Spec2 - Morph Surveys already existing. (b) moving a Spec2 - Morph window
to another position. I'm pretty stuck trying to make my way for this two
goals, so any kind help will be really welcome. Yo can import the files
into a Pharo12 image with the File manager, then Changelist Browser and
selecting all the lines and "file in".

thanks in advance !

you need to position points/morphs in a canvas ?

In that case you need a) a canvas and b) the points.

This cannot (and should not) be achieved with different widgets (spec) but
with just one : a morph there acts as a canvas.

So, instead of going to the window of the presenter (which,, by the way,
may or may not exist) I would just add a morph, e.g. :

(this example is just a script, in real life you would do things
differently)

presenter := SpPresenter new.
presenter layout: (SpBoxLayout newVertical
add: (morphPresenter := presenter newMorph);
yourself).

morph := Morph new color: Color white.
morphPresenter morph: morph.
morph color: Color white.
1 to: 10 do: [ :index |
| pointMorph |
pointMorph := Morph new
color: Color random;
extent: 10@10;
yourself.
pointMorph position: 300 atRandom @ 200 atRandom.
morph addMorph: pointMorph ].

presenter open.

getting the real size of a window is not really provided by the api except
for its initial status (after that, you can suscribe to the resize event if
you want to know the new size), but you shouldn't needed that  (and getting
the SpWindow which is a morph is not the way to go, since this is not
portable).

Spec is a framework to make and place widgets, as soon as you need
something that is not a widget, you need to go to a lower level than it
(hence, rendering a morph).
