Re: [Pharo-dev] Is there a plan to have refreshing values in debugger?

by Tudor Girba

Hi, The support for polling is available since more than 1 year. The problem is that it is too slow to render the tree using MorphTreeMorph. We wanted to wait until Reflectivity would allow us to capture all objects events, but as that will not happen in Pharo 5, we now want to play with FastTable to see if it would be fast enough. The issue is here: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/14569/GTInspector-should-do-live-updates-… Cheers, Doru > On Feb 25, 2016, at 12:47 PM, stepharo <stepharo(a)free.fr> wrote: > > Hi > > Is there a plan to have refreshed values (instance variables) in debugger and inspector? > This is super annoying to have to refresh the complete list in the debugger to see new values > of instance variables. > Why we cannot put back the old pulling behavior and in the future use reflectivity? > > Stef > -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "Being happy is a matter of choice."

Re: [Pharo-dev] [bloc] feature envy -> move method close to data?

by Aliaksei Syrel

All arbitrary shapes are being drawing in the same way and it is enough to have only one method. Allowing shape to render itself would lead to misunderstanding: bloc user would have to look into two places (element and shape) to find out where drawing actually happens.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Moose-dev] Re: Call for action for Roassal

Hi, We discussed this before. Try to draw a hierarchy using classes and inheritance objects (so, without using the class to superclass navigation). Something like this: view := RTMondrian new. view nodes: classes. view edges objects: inheritances; connectFrom: #superclass to: #subclass. view layout tree. view It wonât work.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [bloc] why redefining new is not enough?

by ClÃ©ment Bera

Hi, when redefining new you don't have to use super: BlElement class>>new ^ self basicNew basicSpace: BlUniverse default runningSpace; initialize; yourself IMO that's a better practice that redefining basicNew. Usually basicNew is only redefined when you cannot instantiate the objects using the normal API because it is not supported by the runtime (SmallInteger, Context, etc.) 2016-02-25 12:33 GMT+01:00 Alain Plantec via Pharo-dev < pharo-dev(a)lists.pharo.org>: > > > ---------- Message transfÃ©rÃ© ---------- > From: Alain Plantec <alain.plantec(a)yahoo.com> > To: Pharo Development List <pharo-dev(a)lists.pharo.org> > Cc: > Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 12:37:59 +0100 > Subject: Re: [Pharo-dev] [bloc] why redefining new is not enough? > > > On 25 fÃ©vr. 2016, at 11:49, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > this is badâ¦ redefining basicNew should not be done, never, never, never. > why ? > > > thatâs why we have new and basicNew :) > > the space may be needed during #initialize. > this is why the initialization of the space is done in > basicNew. > But ok, we will fix that. > Thanks > Alain > > > > > Esteban > > > >> On 25 Feb 2016, at 09:52, stepharo <stepharo(a)free.fr> wrote: > >> > >> BlElement class>>basicNew > >> "Redefined to set the space of the element" > >> > >> ^ super basicNew basicSpace: BlUniverse default runningSpace > >> > >> why redefining new is not enough? > >> > >> Ok now back to the mooc videos :( > >> > >> > > > > > > > >

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Bloc] stroke width and layout measure

by Aliaksei Syrel

I did not finish with shape yet. For arbitrary path it is not possible in cairo to render stroke inside (really inside) of the shape and take stroke into account to render children. Such behavior to some extent can be simulated but it really complicates things. So I want to add in contract that it is responsibility of developer to take border into account. cheers On Feb 24, 2016 1:07 PM, "Glenn CavarlÃ©" <glenn(a)cavarle.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > The stroke width of an element's shape is not taken into account when the > child elements are measured. > In fact, a child element that matches parent extent hides the left and top > borders of its parent. > Will it mandatory to use a padding to fix that ?
