How to programatically select an item in a Spec TreeModel ?
by Edouard KLEIN Oct. 26, 2015

Oct. 26, 2015

Hi ! I've been playing with Pharo again. In the application I'm building, I need to load a file from disk, and depending on what is inside this file, select an item in a tree that is displayed on the main window. The SearchableTree subclass I use is copied at the end of the email. It is nothing fancy, just creating the nodes from a fixed tree structure. The method selectedItemFRomPathArray (e.g. #('a' 'a1')) is the one that should be responsible for selecting the node, but for now it just returns the array of TreeNodeModel that correspond to the strings in the 'PathArray' given in argument. I tried the following in a PlayGround : w := CRPJCategories2 new. w openWithSpec. "Taken from packageRemotesManager without understanding it." w tree selectedItem:( (w roots) first "This line can also be : ((w selectedItemFromPathArray:#('a')) last)" selected:true; takeHighlight; yourself). Which works, but when I try to select something that is not a root node, then it does not work, and I've been pulling my hair trying to understand why. w := CRPJCategories2 new. w openWithSpec. "Taken from packageRemotesManager without understanding it." w tree selectedItem:( ((w selectedItemFromPathArray:#('a' 'a1')) last) "<- DOES NOT WORK" selected:true; takeHighlight; yourself). Any pointer would be very much appreciated. Thenks in advance.

Hello, I have a problem to connect Seaside and Pharo. I explain : ZnZincServerAdaptor is running. When I open localhost:8080, it works. When I want to configure a new entry, I can't find the class that I made on Pharo. I have put the method canBeRoot with true as return value on a class but I can't find it. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance, Justine

How to store an image file as a method source
by Dimitris Chloupis Oct. 26, 2015

Oct. 26, 2015

So how you guys covert image files to strings to be stored as method sources ? I want to make a custom GUI that will contain a lot of images and I am a bit on a dilema whether I should put the images as method source as we do already with pharo icons OR just link to external files and find how I can download those files from Pharo. No idea whats the best course of action . Any suggestions ?

A stopwatch tool with calendar support
by Dimitris Chloupis Oct. 25, 2015

Oct. 25, 2015

So my story goes a bit like this, I keep track of the time I spend doing 3d graphics practice and I keep calendar to make sure I spend at least 30 hours per week practicing 3d graphics. But I was bored doing it with pencil and paper and a stopwatch and I thought it would be way cooler to make a tool in Pharo that is able to do this. Basically just a stopwatch that records on the calendar my times. Took very little time to find how to do this , it was as simple as watch := Stopwatch new. watch activate. watch end. watch duration . watch suspend. â label := LabelMorph new. [[label contents: watch asString]repeat]fork. â label openInWindow. I plan to make this part of my Ephestos project and I was wondering if anyone would want this as a separate tool or there is already something doing similar thing around.

Exploring a data matrix with sunburst
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Oct. 25, 2015

Oct. 25, 2015

Hi, I'm trying to make a visualization for medicine information and the idea is to visualize it following a similar pattern to what is shown at [1], but in this case, each arc is a medicine and each layer inside the arc is a published property information of that medicine. Because of that, seems that the best approach is to use a matrix, containing in the rows the properties for each medicine and in the columns the medicine. [1] http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2012/may/08/gay-rights-united-… I can produce such matrix with dummy data, but when I try to explore it using sunburst I'm not getting the proper visualization (look the attachment). That's because sunburst uses hierarchy and recursion to pass from the inner circles to the outer ones. So my question is: how can I use sunburst to explore a matrix, being the inner circles the first row, the second, the second row and so on. Thanks, Offray

Matrix error

Oct. 24, 2015

Hi, I was testing the code here: =[1]========= | medMatrix | medMatrix := Matrix new. medMatrix numberOfColumns: 7; numberOfRows: 5. 1 to: medMatrix numberOfRows do: [:row | 1 to: medMatrix numberOfColumns do: [ :column | "medMatrix at: row at: column put: 0." Transcript show: row asString, ',', column asString, '|'. ]. Transcript show: cr. ]. medMatrix. =========== and I got a transcript like this: =[2]========== 1,1|1,2|1,3|1,4|1,5|1,6|1,7|nil2,1|2,2|2,3|2,4|2,5|2,6|2,7|nil3,1|3,2|3,3|3,4|3,5|3,6|3,7|nil4,1|4,2|4,3|4,4|4,5|4,6|4,7|nil5,1|5,2|5,3|5,4|5,5|5,6|5,7|nil'[Spotter] Exception while collecting processors for <Matrix>: Error: Instances of UndefinedObject are not indexable' '[Spotter] Exception while collecting processors for <Matrix>: Error: Instances of UndefinedObject are not indexable' '[Spotter] Exception while collecting processors for <Matrix>: Error: Instances of UndefinedObject are not indexable' '[Spotter] Exception while collecting processors for <Matrix>: Error: Instances of UndefinedObject are not indexable' ============= I tried also with SciSmalltalk matrix, but they seem to be only square ones. What's is the problem with matrices? Why I'm getting Undefined Objects while trying to iterate or populate them? Thanks, Offray

Data Kitchen: A data visualization project powered by Pharo. Feedback welcomed.
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Oct. 24, 2015

Oct. 24, 2015

Hi, In my effort to more create more meaningful computer mediated experiences for me and other and to use Pharo as a medium for that I have proposed the following project: --- - Name: Data Kitchen: Frictionless data, moldable tools, pocket infrastructures & permanent workshops for community empowerment - url: https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/data/entries/data-kitchen-frictionl… --- It combines the ideas of moldable tools, agile visualization in this community with some of other like frictionless data, by Open Knowledge Foundation and what I call "pocket infrastructures". Any feedback is welcomed. You can make it here in this list, but if you can made it on their platform, from a simple "heart" (+1) or drop me a line, it would be greatly appreciated and it will help to make more visible the project. Thanks, Offray

#collect:as:Dictionary
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Oct. 24, 2015

Oct. 24, 2015

Hi, is this intentional behavior? #(a b c) collect: [ :each | each -> each first asciiValue ] as: Dictionary. "a Dictionary(1->#a->97 2->#b->98 3->#c->99 )" (#(a b c) collect: [ :each | each -> each first asciiValue ]) asDictionary. "a Dictionary(#a->97 #b->98 #c->99 )" I would expect that collect:as: for Dictionaries would act in the same way as #asDictionary. {eter
