[Pharo-project] Opening image multiple times - bug or feature?
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Sept. 26, 2009

Sept. 26, 2009

Hello all, I'm getting Ubuntu configured on my new $400 laptop, and just noticed that I can load one Pharo image at least twice w/o any error messages. Is that good or bad? I'm inclined to say it is bad, with caveats below. I mentioned caveats: I have mixed feelings about Pharo's emulated/MDI GUI. There have been (rare) times when it would have been nice to be able to do something similar on Dolphin. If there is a reason to run multiple IDEs on one box, having them clearly separated by a single main window has some advantages. Bill

[Pharo-project] Titles of tool windows are inappropriate
by Andrew P. Black Sept. 26, 2009

Sept. 26, 2009

Inspectors on an object foo say "foo on NewInspector" in the title. They should just say "foo". Workspaces say "Shout Workspace"; that's an implementation detail. I put a changeset in the bug database to fixes these annoyances. (Issue 1245) Andrew

[Pharo-project] Help with Rotating a Box
by Andrew P. Black Sept. 25, 2009

Sept. 25, 2009

I've been playing with a Morphic implementation of "Joe the box" for an intro programming course. It shouldn't be hard, right? The problem is rotation. It's easy to rotate a polygon morph, but I can't get a TextMorph (for the name) to rotate and stay centered. My next attempt (attached), was to use a transformation morph. This almost works, except that when rotating from a non-manhattan orientation, smurfs get left on the display. The code is attached. I try doing this in a workspace: joe := NamedBoxMorph2 new. joe name: 'Fred'. joe openInWorld. joe color: Color lightBlue. joe turn: -45. joe turn: 45. Do the joe turn: +/- 45 a few times. Bits of the rectangle are left on the display. Is this a bug in morphic, or a bug in my code (more likely)? Is tehre an easy fix/ The critical method from the filein is this one, I think: BoxMorph2 >> initialize "initialize this BoxMorph so that it looks like a Box in BoxWorld" | rectangle b | super initialize. smoothing := 3. b := Rectangle origin: 85 @ 200 extent: 80 @ 80. rectangle := RectangleMorph new. rectangle bounds: b. rectangle color: Color transparent. rectangle borderWidth: 1. self addMorphCentered: rectangle. self bounds: b. I tired making the bounds of the boxMorph a pixel or two bigger (in the last line): this didn't help. Any ideas? Andrew

Re: [Pharo-project] '.2e2' asNumber?

Can we add some more (in the Pharo's spirit of getting at a better Smalltalk): '1.0e+2' "now returns 1.0 although for simmetry should return 100.0" '1E2' "now returns 1, however a lot of applications (like spreadsheets, Fortran printouts) when saving to text use the capital letter for the exponential part". By the same reason: '1.0E2' '1E-2' '1E+2' Em 24/09/2009 17:36, John M McIntosh < johnmci(a)smalltalkconsulting.com > escreveu: > Ok, well I'm going to go away and build a test suite to check for all > combos of > '.' > '1.' > '1.2' > '.e' > '1.e' > '1.2e' > '1.2e3' > '-1.e' > '-1.2e-3' > > so we can at least agree on what a valid number is. > > > On 2009-09-24, at 6:57 AM, Nicolas Cellier wrote: > > SqNumberParser>>fail > > failBlock isNil ifFalse: [^failBlock value]. > > self error: 'Reading a number failed' > >
