Hello 2012/7/20 Fernando Olivero <fernando.olivero@usi.ch>
Hi Sean, you can take a look at Athens-PangoCairo (in squeaksource).
Using NativeBoost, i'm using the Pango layout library [1], and the Pango-Cairo binding [2], to avoid laying out text using the outdated (and messy) stuff in the image.
Check out the classes: ParagraphDescription & AthensPangoCairoParagraph.
I'm using them as the basis for the TextShape,LabelShape, and EditableTextShape in Shapes / Gaucho ( using TextEditor, SingleLineEditor ).
Maybe somebody can do the same for Morphic? use Pango to layout the text, and code a new TextMorph on top of it?
How I can try your code? Do you have ready image to play with it? I am very interested with clean and simple alternative to morphic. I want it for Presenty framework. (But I really like morphic as live user interface environment) Best regards, Denis
