Here's an extract of an email i've sent to the list when i
successfully used Cairo on Mac.
How is Roassal being rendered now? Using FormCanvas? If you have some
screenshots would be nice.
I am the first one to say that screenshots are always welcomed.
Here is a few of them.
Roassal supports a low level language, so this is plain smalltalk (no dsl):
It offers some interesting interaction, such as dragging with velocity. It is like using the finger on the iphone:
A layer translates the Mondrian DSL into the low level language.
There is no scrollbar anymore. Just drag and drop the background.
I will release Roassal at the end of April probably. On the Roadmap:
- Roassal will support a nice zooming in and out. when you zoom in, other nodes appears. And when you zoom out, those nodes disappear.
- be compatible with Cairo
- some node highlighting.
- produce HTML5
- be platform independent. It will work in other smalltalk as well.
Cheers,
Alexandre
