Hola Offray, I tried loading in Windows 8.1 and it loads fine using: Metacello new smalltalkhubUser: 'hernan' project: 'Territorial'; configuration: 'Territorial'; version: #bleedingEdge; load. Then load TerritorialData-AMCharts-HernanMoralesDurand.2 from the repository. I published some "fixes" related to Spec and Roassal. (I have to review them because I'm porting other packages to Pharo 6.1, but it should work for displaying maps). The following expression displays a window with Colombia departments: TerritorialAMChartsMapsProvider viewHighResCountry: 'Colombia' For a choropleth with a heatmap or centroids have a look at how I did it in PhyloclassTalk in SmalltalkHub, again I should update it to work in Pharo 6.1.

Hi, Answering myself: I was able to fix this problem by downloading the "territorial_files" zip folder from the source repo and unzipping it to the image folder. After that Metacello bleeding edge (not Monticello, my mistake) installation worked properly. So, it seems that proper downloading and unzipping of supporting files is not working. I have found this also for the GADM files as reported in [1]. By the way, I have created a Grafoscopio notebook to take some interactive notes on my learning of Territorial [2][3]. My first impressions are that this is a pretty potent package, but still needs a more fluid installation and the supporting files are huge, and I wonder if there is any way to query/download the data on demand.

Territorial loading problems & alternative ways of loading data for making a choropleth map

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi, I would like a choropleth map of Colombian departments [1]. The first approach would be to use Territorial, but loading it is not working on Pharo 6.1 (used on Manjaro Linux): It doesn't appears in the Catalog, Gopher load gives me: "XMLFileException: File does does not exist: /home/offray/Programas/Pharo/6.1a/Dev24/territorial_files/fao/fao_country_names.xml" and loading Monticello bleeding edge gives me "FileDoesNotExist: File @ /home/offray/Programas/Pharo/6.1a/Dev24/territorial_files/opengeocode/wc-ASCII.csv". There is another way to make such choropleth map? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_Colombia Thanks, Offray

Re: [Pharo-users] [Seaside] [ANN] SeasideTesting recovered from oblivion

I donât know... we maintained SeasideTesting at http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Seaside/SeasideTesting/ until we developed Parasol because it just covers some bare-bones html page testing. Forget about JavaScript and css influence on your tests in seaside testing. I think we prefer a slower but accurate testing proces, using Parasol.

Re: [Pharo-users] Dynamically changing code in a safe way

by Richard Sargent

This is a great question, Abdelghani. It comes down to the meaning of the phrase "everything is an object". When you wrote "currentBloc value", that caused the block *[ 1 to:50 do: [:index |Transcript show: index. 100 milliSeconds asDelay wait]. Transcript cr. 1000 milliSeconds asDelay wait ]* to evaluate. The fact that you hold a reference to that block elsewhere and change what object is referenced at some point does not change the fact that the block itself is executing. Until your code executes *currentBloc value* again, it won't start the new block executing. Imagine if I were to hand you a loaf of bread and tell you to feed it to the dog. If I were then to hand you another loaf of bread, the dog would continue eating the first loaf. We never told the dog to do anything else.

Dynamically changing code in a safe way

by abdelghani ALIDRA

Hi, If I create a class HotSwapping with the instance variable currentBLoc (and the corresponding accessors) and the following methods : HotSwapping>>initialize currentBloc := [ 1 to:50 do: [:index |Transcript show: index. 100 milliSeconds asDelay wait]. Transcript cr. 1000 milliSeconds asDelay wait ] HotSwapping>>run [10 timesRepeat: [ currentBloc value ]] fork I then do : obj := HotSwapping new run The âfunnyâ thing is that, when Transcript starts showing numbers, lets say : 12345678910 (i.e. the bloc is in the middle of its execution), I do obj currentBloc: [Transcript show: âHelloâ;cr. 1000 milliSeconds asDelay wait ] The Transcript does not stop showing numbers. It shows the Hello message only after the old bloc has finished executing (the entire line of number form 0 to 50 has been printed in the Transcript) So why does not this happen this way? Why the assignment of the new code is delayed until the end of the bloc execution? is it something related to threads execution or does Pharo implement some safety hot swapping mechanisms? Thanks in advance. Abdelghani

Re: [Pharo-users] About Ztimestamp

by Stephane Ducasse

Hi sven I read the class comments in fact :) and now rereading and your answer I start to understand. What the class comments did not convey to me was that you have to follow the 2001 example. The "#reference timestamp" was confusing to me. I could not undersrtand why you where talking about a method (that does not exist in fact). Then I could not understand how the numbering of the component of the example where related to the example you give below. And I can tell you that I browse the class side accessing but I could not find a simple date pattern. By the way using a number higher than 12 for days could help identifying the day from the month. And now I see that as I expected we can also pass a date and not be forced to pass a (ZTimestampFormat fromString: '03/02/2001') format: Date today. If you are interested I can try to propose a better class comment. And BTW I already used the formatter but more than one year ago.

This works by making each component unique, using a sequential number. Consult the class comment for a full explanation.
