Re: [Pharo-dev] [Esug-list] [ann] moldable brick editor - alpha

by Tudor Girba

Hi Stef, Sorry for the late reply. Very relevant point. Indeed, this is something we are still thinking about. The main thing we focused on was to have the attributes as objects first, and then an API that is easily extensible. The fluent API comes on top. At the moment, we tend to favor a builder approach that goes in this direction: text attributes textSize: 60. The issue is a bit of a more general concern as we already have the same need in several places in Bloc and we already use a builder pattern. For example: BlKeyCombination builder alt; control; key: Key c; build BlBorder builder dashed; paint: (Color green muchDarker alpha: 0.7); build However, these two are for creating a new instance, while in the text example we have to deal with modifying an existing one (i.e., the text). Decisions, decisions â¦ :) Cheers, Doru > On Aug 5, 2017, at 6:05 PM, StÃ©phane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > A design question. > Do you think that it would not be better to have the constant encapsulated? > > text textSize: 60. > vs. > text attributes: BRFontTextSize size: 60. > > It could be > text attributes textSize: 60. > > Stef > > On Sat, Aug 5, 2017 at 6:02 PM, StÃ©phane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Super cool. > Bloc will change the face of Pharo. > > > On Sat, Aug 5, 2017 at 12:19 AM, Tudor Girba <tudor(a)tudorgirba.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We are very happy to announce the alpha version of a moldable editor built in Brick (https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Brick) which is based on Bloc (https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Bloc) This is primarily the work of Alex Syrel.

Currently, the editor is 1260 lines of code including method and class comments. This is not large for a text editor and this is possible because most of the work is done by generic concepts that already exist in Bloc such as layouts and text measurements. Beside the small maintenance cost, the benefit is that we have the option to build all sorts of variations with little effort. That is why we call this a moldable text editor. > > Another benefit of using elements and layouts is that we can also embed other kinds of non-text elements with little effort (such as pictures), and obtain a rich and live text editor.

We did some changes to remodularize a bit more the kernel some weeks ago. The correct way to print a line ending is, as Clement pointed out, 'OSPlatform current lineEnding'. That is because there is no portable character for a new line. Each platform has its own. That said, maybe you found a bug :). Since the image before automatically transformed cr's in line endings for a platform, I did a stream decorator that replaces that behaviour for Pharo 7, I just did it to make it work, did not test it further actually. Could you try the following? - seeing what happens if you print a new line twice? nextPutAll: aString; lf;lf - What is the stream you're using to print out? Transcript or Stdout? Could you show the entire expression you're using? - Can you print out the stream you're using? stream nextPutAll: stream asString; lf.

New line on command line

Hey, I have been trying to print on the command line as a part of my handler implementation. I have been using `nextPutAll: aString;lf.` Apparently, 'lf' does not seem to work. I tried 'cr' too. I am using the latest 7.0 Pharo-vm and pharo image. I tried 'OSPlatform current lineEnding' as suggested by Clement Mastin. But, when I used the 6.0 version the 'lf' message is working fine. Please find the attached image which demonstrates the same. The left terminal is of version 7.0, right one is of 6.0. Can someone help me out with this? <http://forum.world.st/file/n4960327/Screenshot_from_2017-08-11_00-04-29.png> -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/New-line-on-command-line-tp4960327.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
