Re: [Pharo-project] GDLib bindings?

by Igor Stasenko

Yup, GDLib bindings is not really necessary, since squeak graphics is capable enough to do the same and even more.

One can always load the graphic into a Form instance and send #getCanvas to that; then message like #drawString:at:font:color: are available, after which you can save the modified form to a new file using #writeJPEGFileNamed:. I don't see a convenience method for saving PNG, but there is a PNGReadWriter that should respond favorably to #nextPutImage:. The one thing that Windows does well is device (quasi)independence. I miss GDI's handling of printers.

I've checked the newest source which is ExternalWebBrowser-mtf.11.1.mcz on squeaksource. The initialization of ExternalWebBrowser does a Smalltalk addToStartUpList: self. And the code to select the platform specific library is called in startUp. That means the platform should be chosen every time you start your image. Looks perfectly what you want, right? Can you elaborate on the situation where it does not work? Norbert > Something about this feels wrong.

[Pharo-project] GDLib bindings?

by Andrei Stebakov

I wonder what would be the right way in Smalltalk to use a popular graphics library such as gdlib? I use it currently from my current lisp-based web site to overlay text (using different fonts) on top of pre-defined png and jpeg images. Since I didn't find any smalltalk bindings (plugins?) for the library I wonder maybe there are some built-in tools in Pharo/Squeak that do the same job? Thank you, Andrei
