Browser Panes (or is it Pains??)

by Tony Giaccone

I downloaded squeak to try out the UI Generator created by the Haso Plattner Institiute. When I did that I noticed that the squeak system browser has a feature that solves one of my constant annoyances in pharo. The panes of the browser are re-sizeable in the x direction. I can make different panels different sizes. Is there a setting or someway to easily add this capability to the Pharo System Browser? Tony Giaccone

Actors library

by Alex Schenkman

Hi list, Is there an Actors library already available in Pharo? The part I'm interested in is the asynchronous message passing. If it has been done already, why not reuse? Thanks in advance!

For TextComposer first ---------------------- Class intention I compose a collection of lines to fit the size of a physical container (especially according to the paragraph contrainer height, width and position). The result of my computation is a collection of TextLine that is ready to be managed by a paragraph to be drawn on a canvas in a particular screen area. Class collaborations I collaborate with a CompositionScanners for character measurement and with a TextContainer which holds the text to be composed Class main API #composeLinesFrom: argStart to: argStop delta: argDelta into: argLinesCollection priorLines: argPriorLines atY: argStartY textStyle: argTextStyle text: argText container: argContainer wantsColumnBreaks: argWantsColumnBreaks It is my main public method which returns the collection of TextLines (as the first element of an array) ---------------------- and then for MultiTextComposer ---------------------- See TextComposer comments first. I'm a specialization for the management of complex text (internationalized text). TextComposer and MultiTextComposer shoukl be merged in a near futur ----------------------

Re: [Pharo-users] Anyone knows why Sophie was migrated from Squeak/Smalltalk to Java?

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

I know that several of guys too :) - politics - venture capitalists - Java has good and better widgets so difficult to fight - problem with management in the project (not from the programmers) - when I think I went to sofia to teach them oop..... oh man. What idiot I was. lot more a sad story. Now if we would all join effort to push a decent looking open-source smalltalk with good widgets and good properties (nice xxx framweorks, small image, C integration, better tools, connexion with DB....) then we would all cooler and our projects would get a chance not to be rewritten in Java.
