Hi Alex, I guess this mail was supposed to go to moose-dev :).
I was wondering what the best strategy to implement a DSM will be. I see two different strategies: 1 - Building the matrix with a formsBuilder. Each shape contained in the builder is therefore a cell of the DSM. 2 - Having an MONode for each cell.
I would favor option 2, but a special layout need to be defined right?
In VW, you can already do that through "formsBuilder asLayout". I used this to build an evolution matrix that can be align nicely both vertically and horizontally.
Doru, you said once that Mondrian may not be adapted to build DSM. I do not understand (or even feel) why. May you comment on this?
You can, but it won't be optimal. The reason is that for any significantly sized matrix you will not want to represent each cell as an object, but rather treat the complete matrix as one smart object that optimizes the display. Cheers, Doru
