Pharo and the Morphic one window limitation

by kmo

i was just wondering whether there were any /definite/ plans to free Morphic from the one window restriction - apart from the obvious/ it will be done when someone gets the time/ inclination/ money to do it/? Is this something we can expect in Pharo 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0? The current limitation is not a problem if your app uses a large window and all its other windows can fit easily inside it - but if you have a small application with a small main window (for example a minesweeper or soduku game) then you can't even fit in the load/save game dialog. I know I'm not saying anything new, but I was just wondering whether this was on a roadmap somewhere. ken -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-and-the-Morphic-one-window-limitation-tp4735921… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Merging sounds like a really good idea, and since I've been working to get Snap4Arduino working (http://s4a.cat/snap) and the server runs on Pharo, it should not be difficult to merge Phratch with part of that code to get S4A to work on Pharo 2.0. I'll see what I can do in this direction. Hum interesting, I will try it. Now, If you want to add it in Phratch, it is really easy. I will write a small doc to explain how to do that. How do you communicate with the Arduino ? Is it a plugin ? Jannik > > Best, > Bernat. > > -- > Bernat Romagosa.

Re: [Pharo-users] Roassal visualizations

Hi Rosario, Vanessa Pena is working on building visualisations in Roassal using data from twitter. Maybe she could guide you. We have examples in our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ObjectProfile Cheers, Pablo On Jan 10, 2014, at 12:52, Rosario Santa Marina <rosariosantamarina1(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to develop some Twitter data visualizations using Roassal.

RoassalPdfExporter hype :-)

by Samir Saleh

Hi! i'm Samir and i'm new in Pharo :-). I'm currently working on a PDF exporter for Roassal<http://objectprofile.com/#/pages/products/roassal/overview.html> [1] . There is still a lot to do and many bugs to squash If you want to try it you can get it here: RoassalPdfExporter<http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Jamir/RoassalPdfExporter/> [2] You'll also need: Artefact <http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~RMoD/Artefact> [3] and Roassal <http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ObjectProfile/Roassal>[4] In order to get the PDF file, click on 'export' and then on double click in 'export as PDF' . And a new file named 'test.pdf' will be created on the root of your Pharo directory. There are still some missing shapes like arrows and new lines in text, and there will be bugs You feedback is much appreciated!! Best regards.

Re: [Pharo-users] Roassal visualizations

by Alejandro Infante

The first thing you should do when you install Roassal is to run the Eassel World Menu>>Tools>Roassal Easel And then select the examples, there are lots of examples and all of them includes the code needed to create the visualization. Also there are a really cool examples in the facebook page of Object Profile, but I can't give you the link since in my network is blocked =(. For more documentation you can see the Roassal and the Mondrian chapters at the Deep into Pharo Book http://www.pharo-project.org/documentation/tutorials-books.

Hi Bernat, You should contact To me, I thought that they are not really two projects but one: a new name and a new developer. Both was needed: You paved the way and it was very sad that the sorry state of the code base burned you! I think this shows the power of open source: Even when you have to give up in the end, it can be that the work was not for nothing and the code starts to have new liveâ¦ What will be interesting what comes outâ¦ e.g. someone could take this great stuff: http://s4a.cat and combine it with Phratch...

Dear Bernat, I will be happy to add something about Scat on the website (I already added a sentence to fix this issue). Now, we can probably do better together. I am sorry for this omission, I made the google code page too fast and I have to do it better (It is on my todo list !). You can also contact us on the phratch mailing-list: phratch(a)googlegroups.com Cheers, Jannik 2014/1/10 Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven(a)stfx.eu> > You are right, Bernat: in open source we build on an immense amount of > work done by many developers all over the world and we should always > recognise that properly, that is only fair. > > At least for me, I contribute to open source just because I am grateful > for what I received and I want to give something back. > > Open source software is a prime example of planet wide human collaboration > as it should be. > > Hopefully your request will be heard by those who can fix the (probably > unintentional) omission. > > Sven > > On 10 Jan 2014, at 16:52, Bernat Romagosa <tibabenfortlapalanca(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > I'm not sure this is the proper place to discuss this, but I just felt I > had to write it down. > > > > I've just been taking a look at the Phratch GoogleCode site and I've > noticed there is not a single mention of where the project comes from...
