[Pharo-project] 9th Innovation Technology Awards - Reminder

by jdelgado

Hi, Reminder: 29 days to deadline Have you written innovative Smalltalk? The developers of any Smalltalk-based software can enter by submitting a 3-5min video of their software. Entrants demo their systems in a session at the end of Monday August 27th 2012, after which the conference attendees vote. (A vote consists in providing a sorted list of 3 preferred pieces of software.) The top 3 teams with the most innovative software will receive, respectively, 500 Euros, 300 Euros and 200 Euros. The results are announced in the Awards ceremony that is held during the social event. Applicants should provide the following information on the conference registration server. Once you have registered your personal info, an 'Awards' menu allows submitting your software. You can provide this information when you first register, or login again later and update your details. The registration server will open soon. You can start preparing your software right now though. Info to provide: Name of the software Licence information (free, shareware, or commercial) Name of the Smalltalk dialect used Name, Affiliation and Country of developers Besides, it would be great if the submission could include: URL for a video (3-5 min) showing a screencast / demo of the software URL for downloading the software or at least a runnable demo Deadline: August 15 Any Smalltalker can apply (students, companies, ...). The presented piece of code/software should be written in Smalltalk or directly support Smalltalk (e.g. Smalltalk VM). All Smalltalk dialects are accepted. The applicant should be "strongly related" to the presented code, be it as an author, as owner of the copyright/copyleft, or as an official representative of the copyright/copyleft owner.

Hi Stephan, > It uses the data collected for the SPA2011 great egg-race. > http://chatley.com/posts/06-20-2011/spa-great-egg-race/ The url you gave gives an example of "a moving chart in the style of Hans Roslingâs well-known presentations of data". I understand this is done outside Pharo. However, is it something you would like to do in Pharo? I can make Roassal provide the necessary infrastructure for this. Will this be of a help for you?

I am also spending a hell of a lot of time on Text, Paragraph, Styler and other things like that (TextAttribute and subclasses). Very complicated indeed. It was worse before I have been told.

[Pharo-project] Customizing the Caret of a PluggableTextMorph

by Sean P. DeNigris

For VimPharo, I want to have a different cursor depending on whether a tool is in insert or normal mode. I tried a handful of ways, but they all failed or worked partially/inconsistently. Here's some of them: * add the state to the paragraph, but the entire paragraph gets replaced during the life of the tool, so the state gets lost * add the state to the editor, but the situation is the same * add the state to PluggableTextMorph, override and access it from TextMorphForEditView>>updateFromParagraph. This was an extreme PITA and got me very acquainted with the emergency evaluator. It "worked", but only after using the arrows a bit. Does anyone have any idea where I might hook in? <rant>I find the whole text system very confusing. What the heck does a paragraph know about insertion points?? A view has one paragraph object, even if there are several paragraphs (as understood by the rest of humanity as a block of text with breaks between the adjoining ones.

Re: [Pharo-project] Keymapping - Class vs. Instance Targets

by Sean P. DeNigris

If I add a category to a class in the "static shortcuts" (which I consider to be "default shortcuts" - I think that's more useful), and then I want to remove that category for an instance, I can't. What I want is: each instance gets its own copy of all its maps. If the morph instance doesn't have any per-instance customizations, this can point to the class defaults to save space (but I think this would be premature optimization). However, as soon as the instance differs at all from the class defaults, it /must/ have it's own local copy of all the maps. I don't want to have to override each shortcut of a category attached to the class. I want to detach the category /for just this instance/. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Keymapping-Class-vs-Instance-Targets-tp4639863p464022… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

In a previous email I told you about three mechanisms to configure shortcuts: - static shortcuts (per class) - dynamic category shortcuts ( you build a category and attach it to an instance) - single shortcuts per instance The thing is that you can mix the three above, having the three working together. The lookup mechanism in a morph is: - first single shortcuts - second dynamic category shortcuts - finally static shortcuts So, you can put a base static configuration and override stuff with dynamic shortcuts. But to be sincere, I've never tried a complex configuration like that :) Is that useful for you?
