[Pharo-project] How to take advantage of SimpleMorphic
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Jan. 30, 2011

Jan. 30, 2011

Hi juan I'm not sure that this is possible to port all the changes of Morphic/Polymorph on top of SimpleMorphic. So I have questions: - what would be a process? - should we compare classes by classes (starting with which ones) and migrate the code in Morphic or doing the inverse? What could a migration plan? I have the impression that since SimpleMorphic is simpler I would - start to remove the stuff we already fixed from SimpleMorphic - start to migrate some widgets to SimpleMorphic Stef

[Pharo-project] Issue 3599 in pharo: Serial Port
by pharo＠googlecode.com Jan. 30, 2011

Status: Accepted Owner: stephane...(a)gmail.com Labels: Milestone-1.3 New issue 3599 by stephane...(a)gmail.com: Serial Port http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3599 Hello We are developing software to interact with small robots for educational purposes. To do this we need to use the serial port. SerialPort class that includes Pharo does not work on mac or linux, because itÂ´s not able to open ports by name. It would be interesting that future versions include a SerialPort that would work in these circumstances. we are using since a time aÂ´go the plugin that comes with Scratch, with this we just copy the plugins in the folder of the VM, the Plugin that comes with the VM Scrath, and add to the image of the image classes of Scratch , ScratchPlugin and SerialPort2.Up to date this has worked on all VM including the latest Cog. It works on Linux, Mac or Windows.We wory that future versions will lose support. One important question is what is the license of scratch Then in addition I know that there is a fix made by serge for SerialPort

Or remove these test . I publish the beginning of the fix. Attachments: OB-Tests-Morphic-jb.31.mcz 10.2 KB

Re: [Pharo-project] Vision

I DO like this Vision. I remember myself about 8 years ago trying to give my first steps in Smalltalk on my own. Despite I had solid OOP knowledge it took a while to understand that there was no "main" function. All my experience was with Java and C++ and I couldn't understand where was the entry point of my application if there were no main. Of course, today things are totally different, there are many resources on the web but I think that we still can improve that, implementing improvements in the environment and generating more and better training resources.

[Pharo-project] Where is the new mechanism for save preferences on Pharo 1.2??
by nullPointer Jan. 30, 2011

Jan. 30, 2011

Hi IÂ´m using my deployer tool on Pharo 1.2 Core RC, but get a error when I try save my preferences. In last version of Pharo I could for example call Preferences>>savePersonalPreferences method. ThereÂ´s equivalent on new Pharo? Many thanks for the help Regards. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Where-is-the-new-mechanism-for-save-preferences-on-Ph… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] Introducing smallUML: a little project to help us document :)
by Carla F. Griggio Jan. 30, 2011

Jan. 30, 2011

Hi everyone! Well, here I am announcing the resulting project of my GSoC experience during the [your] summer: smallUML, a project to help us building diagrams and sharing them with any package of code. My mentor was Stephane Ducasse and my co-mentor Geert Claes, so thanks to them for the guidance up to now, and also to Fernando Olivero who helped me a lot (hope to do some coding with you at ESUG! :P). You can gofer it: Gofer it > squeaksource: 'smallUML'; > package: 'ConfigurationOfSmallUML'; > load. > (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfSmallUML) project latestVersion load. > And then open the Diagram Browser of the current little examples evaluating: DiagramDrawingDocumentation openDiagramBrowser . > This is beta and I'm still working on it, my work will continue after GSoC's deadline, so of course your welcome to give some feedback and think about what features would you like it to have and if you're confortable with the current features. It would be really nice if this helped to get all Pharo projects more documented, with visual diagrams that help understanding them at a glance. Talking about that... the current features are: - Open a *Diagram Browser* for an existing Category Diagrams Holder (this is a class ment to hold the created diagrams and there should be one per category, for now; you can browse DiagramDrawingDocumentation to see an example) - *Create and edit diagrams* programatically describing them with "diagram code" (the diagram code it's just a protocol of methods meant to describe diagrams, you can see some diagram code browsing DiagramDrawingDocumentation methods or each Class Box in the Diagram Browser) - Every diagram you build through the Diagram Browser it's saved as "diagram code", so you can *share it as code* that will reproduce your diagram :) That means that diagrams can 'travel' along it's package when you commit your changes with Monticello! And then they can be edited by anybody, they're not just a pretty picture. - You can *export* your diagram as a *PNG* picture or you can export it's "diagram code" as a *workspace*. - Only *Class Diagrams* can be built for now. - Class Boxes of a class diagram can be *dragged* to be easily positioned. Some details that are missing: - It's funny, but I can't center the class boxes title! :P - I tried adding some scrollbars to the "whiteboard" where you can view your diagrams in the Diagram Browser, but if I did that the drag & drop of the class boxes worked funny :( I'll ask about that to you later. On the way: - Tests and documentation, and a screencast showing every feature. - Lots of refactors: as I'm adding more kind of diagrams right now, so I'm doing a lot of refactors to make everything more flexible and improving all the messy code there. - A version of Minimal Connectors for anybody to use if they feel like connecting morphs for another project. - Some usability improvements. - Object diagrams - Sequence diagrams - Your feedback :D So I'd really appreciate if you can give it a try and tell me how you feel about it, I'd like it to be very usable. Cheers! Carla

Comment #4 on issue 2289 by sean.p.d...(a)gmail.com: bizarre window cycling http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2289 The behavior on Pharo1.2rc2 Latest update: #12325 with Mac 4.2.5 VM is: * cmd-left arrow - cycles through open windows like you'd expect * cmd-right arrow - cycles back and forth between the two top windows Is this the intended behavior?
