Relation tower is coming for Roassal

by Alexandre Bergel

Hi! A new builder for Roassal is comingâ¦ The goal of Relation tower is to easily visualize relations between group of elements. We had the inspiration from the following website http://peoplemov.in/#! Here are some screenshots: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.559114290841839.1073741837.340543… If you like these screenshots, then you know where the like button is :-) We will have this visualization on the web, thanks to our smooth and nice Pharo2Amber migration process. Any idea on how to extend/apply Relation tower? Any set of data you want us to play with? Your data? Feedback are very welcome! Cheers, Ricardo & Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

But at least we won the html vs plaintext one (or at least no one else cares). The mailing list format is not good for debate... using mails, in my opinion. Forums or other similar tools are better suited. Esteban A. Maringolo

Hi! As Stephan Eggermont noted there was some "top posting" going on and if you don't know what that refers to you might be "a part of the problem" :) and should read this funny page describing the phenomena: http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html ...or in more detail: http://www.idallen.com/topposting.html Happy hacking!

As of teaching, I try to get my wife to get acquainted to it. Math teacher. I also see things like CameraPlugin.dll and Mpeg3Plugin.dll ScratchPlugin.dll which aren't in the stock Pharo VM (2.0) Is the code for these in the stock vm repo or elsewhere (with your own version)? Phil

by phil＠highoctane.be

I started fine on Windows 8 64-bit. Now, why is the PhratchFrameMorph not something that I can easily resize to full screen? (I have to pick it up with halos and resize with the yellow icon, and picking it up requires the shift-click on the desktop background). There is the top right icon (projector screen) but this is not the same as this will only show the scene full screen (which is cool). Clicking on the bottom right corner gives me a little white hand but it is not resizing anything. In PhratchFrameMorph>>startup, I do see: startupFileNames do: [:n | (n asLowercase = 'presentation') ifTrue: [ quitFlag := true. presentationMode := true. self isHidden: true. Display fillBlack]. (n asLowercase = 'fullscreen') ifTrue: [PhratchFrameMorph takeOverScreen: true]]. " TakeOverScreen ifTrue: [ Display fullScreenMode: true. World restoreDisplay]. " PhratchFrameMorph takeOverScreen: false. So, how does that work?
