[Pharo-project] Questions
by Overcomer Man Aug. 7, 2011

Aug. 7, 2011

What is the best way to include C++ projects like: 1) openCV 2) an OCR 3) CMU Sphinx <http://cmusphinx.org/> 4) AutoHotkey 5) a screen capture and how does one figure out how to locate documentation on existing tools like: 1) Audio Input and manipulation by FFT for audio object recognition 2) Video input and graphic object recognition 3) Picture input and graphic object recognition Is there an application guide? Many project packages seem harder to figure out than classes like Dictionary and OrderedCollection for some reason. Any suggestions? Thank you. Sincerely, Kirk Fraser Clatskanie, OR USA

[Pharo-project] Coral status & directions (was: Re: about coral)

The syntax / compiler extension works fine and should not require much changes. All examples work for me, but it still depends too much on what flavor of the VM you have and is only tested on Mac. So, I'd say, it's useable for early adopters :) What's currently problematic is properly starting the VM in headless mode and passing it command-line arguments. This currently works with the Cog Carbon VM, and it should work with the linux VMs as well. I don't know about windows. I'd like to eliminate the generate-and-install-coral.sh step, or generate a script that doesn't hardcode paths to the VM and to the Coral image, or devise some way to install everything that makes it more practicalâ¦ The problem is, different flavors of the VM don't report the same think for the VM/image/current pathâ¦ There is a problem with OSProcess on the Cog Cocoa VM. I also need to check that the proper Filesystem package is installed, because the current ConfigurationOfCoral predates Colin's big refactoring. Now, for directions of improvement: I'm currently writing a (petit)parser for command-line arguments inspired by http://rubydoc.info/gems/cri/2.0.2/frames (yup, Smalltalk learns from Ruby, for once :) This will make it easy to write Coral scripts with options, flags, subcommands that respect well-known conventions for unix shell commands, properly check argument formats, etc. Eventually this will provide enough information to generate man pages, -h --help text, and even completion functions for bash and zsh. We're going to need some way to structure script code. I don't think we want an include/require statement to write scripts in several files, but there should be a way for a script to depend on code that is not in the base Coral image. Maybe loading parcels? The Console class provides basic access to ANSI escape sequences but this could be refactored. This will be needed for the next stepsâ¦ â¦I want a text-mode inspector and debugger integrated in the REPL. I'm jealous of Ruby having https://github.com/pry/pry#readme :) -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet

[Pharo-project] about coral
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Aug. 6, 2011

Aug. 6, 2011

Hi frank Oscar is not in charge since a long time about coral. In fact it had always been my iea, and since oscar like scripting language he was participating. Now Damien is helping a lot. If you have changes that you think can go in our version please send them. I do not know why the REPL is not working anymore and probably that we should use the stdout that were introduced in 1.3 This has been years that I want a smalltalk with a scripting layer and if you want to join you are welcome. Stef ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Frank Shearar <frank.shearar(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 6:33 PM Subject: [squeak-dev] "Pharoism" package? To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Hi, I did some work yesterday [1] getting Coral (a scripting framework for Pharo: http://www.squeaksource.com/Coral.html) working in Trunk. I made a few adjustments to Coral itself, mailing Oscar Nierstrasz the changes (what look to be getting Coral to work with the latest Filesystem code, post-large-refactor), and had to add a few methods to Squeak that Coral was expecting. Presumably these were methods renamed by Pharo: Character >> join: String >> join: Class >> addInstVarNamed: MetaClass >> addInstVarNamed: Class >> subclass: SmalltalkImage >> vmFullPath Symbol >> isBinary My question's a bit broader: there are many more Pharo developers than Squeak developers, it seems. They're doing lots of cool stuff. We can easily port these cool things to Squeak (at least, at the moment). If anyone else is doing this kind've thing, perhaps it's worthwhile either adding these kinds of methods to Grease, or having a general "Pharoisms" package. It's not all one-way, of course: having things easily loadable into Squeak means that Squeak hackers (like me) can more easily contribute to interesting packages (like Coral) without having to keep track of two communities. (Coral could, with some love, become a full REPL, which is something I really want.) frank [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6938114/a-smalltalk-implementation-with-… -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Managing logos and backgrounds IN the image
by Mariano Martinez Peck Aug. 6, 2011

Aug. 6, 2011

Hi guys. I want to do two things: 1) set a custom logo and background for my images. 2) I want to do 1) from my ConfigurationOfMariano 3) I want to have the logo and background picture as a ByteArray/Bitmap or whatever but inside the image (not needing an external file). For 1) I know I can do for the background image: World backgroundImage: (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'whatever.png') layout: #scaled. And for the logo: LogoImageMorph default: (ImageMorph withForm: (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'whatever')) Now....I need the second part, how to read it from file and store it as an image directly in the image. Something similar as icons are stored. And of course, then how to read them and set it to the background and logo. Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
