Caution: this is *not* the answer to your question; I will be waiting to see what the experts say on the subject. One thing I _can_ tell you is that it is often a good idea to write graphics-producing code in terms of a canvas such that it can draw on "anything" (display, image file and printer come to mind) using the device resolution to scale things correctly. I have long been amazed that people create (in Dolphin speak) their own views when an image presenter would the job given a "background" bitmap.

There are always exceptions, but IMHO you should at least consider drawing on a Form and displaying that in a appropriate morph, or whatever the gurus suggest. I hope that makes at least some sense.

i have been nabbling about the list archives, trying to figure out the right class to use for providing a scrolling graph pane on which i can draw shapes.

suppose i were to take UITheme(class)>>exampleWindowWithToolbars and want to turn that into a simple Paint Program.

what would i put in place of the StandardWindow>>newTextEditorFor:getText:setText:getEnabled: message send?
