GLMMorphPresentation
by Jesus NuÃ±ez March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

Hello everyone, Does anybody have the full definition of GLMMorphPresentation such that is usable with Glamour, especifically with the GLMCompositePresentation?. Actually the only method it defines is #renderGlamorouslyOn:. On the other hand in my installed version of Glamour, GLMTabulator does not have the #using: method and in the monticello repositories does not seems to be a version that has it. In Moose Book=>Building browsers with Glamour=>custom presentations section (http://www.themoosebook.org/book/internals/glamour/presentations/custom) it is used for embeed a widget from Morphic. which is exacly what I need. If somebody knows the version used in the examples please let me know it. Thanks in advance, Jesus NuÃ±ez

SmalltalkHub and KOAmberJSFileLibrary
by phil＠highoctane.be March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

Hello, I am trying to load SmalltalkHub in my image. So far: Seaside 3 is in MongoTalk is in I do have an issue with Gofer new url: 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Kaliningrad'; package: 'ConfigurationOfKaliningrad'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfKaliningrad) project version: '0.1.1') load. Which complains about the BlockContext since it references something that has it inside. Is there any set of packages to load that properly? I'd like to have STH has a starting point for Amber+Pharo apps. Thx! Phil

Why are SmallTalk projects/source code hosted on SS3 Gemstone instead of Git?
by Victor Stan March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

Why are SmallTalk projects/source code hosted on SS3 Gemstone instead of Git/GitHub? I'm coming to SmallTalk from the world of web development with open source software, primarily Rails, and I'm very familiar with the amazing social network/source code repository that is GitHub. It is truly an industry defining entity, so many open source projects have been able to harness the ease of use, features and community around Git and GitHub. At the moment, as I'm trying to learn more about SmallTalk and Pharo especially, (my primary interest in Pharo is to use it as a web development platform), I am a bit shocked, if I may be frank, at the tooling used for source code and open source project management. I see that the popular trend now is to move to SS3/Gemstone, and I appreciate anyone that helps open source development/projects, but I can't see how they can even come close to the functionality of GitHub for source code hosting and OS project management, so I pose the question: is there an effort, why or why not, to start integrating with GitHub and Git for source code management? I know that historical precent and the tools built into Pharo/SmallTalk images, like Monticello are predecessors to GUI source control, but given the leaps that Git has managed to take, in distributed source code management, how does the existing SmallTalk community feel about it's current tooling in this regard?

Updating an already open EyeSee Canvas.
by Jacob Wagner March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

Hello. I am trying to update an already existing eyesee canvas from within pharo 2.0. Basically I am getting live data in from a websocket stream, and want to use that live data to build a scatterplot chart. If I have a lot of data, I can already build the correct eyesee canvas using that data. However, I am having great problems trying to update the already existing canvas dynamically as more data comes in. I spent about 5 hours last night trying various combinations of message sends to the diagramrenderer, the esscatterplot diagram, the escanvas, etc. etc. Eventually I just gave up as I don't understand how the system works. Just to clarify, as long as speed is not a concern I don't mind re-drawing the entire eyesee window every time new data comes in, but the key is I do not want to open a new window every time as I'm sure that would be very user-unfriendly. Thanks, and thanks to the eyesee and moose team. Despite my difficulties with it in this matter, charting with eyesee has been a neat experience. :) -Jacob -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Updating-an-already-open-EyeSee-Canvas-tp4679004.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
