dynamic interaction with Mondriam
by Alidra Abdelghani June 9, 2017

June 9, 2017

Hi all, I would like to do some visualisations with Mondrian where you change the visualisation by selecting actions. For instance you have : b := RTMondrian new. b shape rectangle withTextAbove. b nodes:(1 to: 5). b layout grid. b edges connectFrom: [ :e | e + 1 ]. b build. b view then you can click a button to: 1 display/hide the labels above the elements. 2 display/hide some elements (all odd numbers for instance) 3 display/hide connections between elements. I saw a visualisation in the Roassal examples where you can add elements in a dynamic stack grapher. So I presume it is possible to do the same with other types of visus. Any hints? Thanks in advance. Abdelghani

Teapot: Managing authentication by a third party (Fossil)
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas June 9, 2017

June 9, 2017

Hi, I'm trying to make some test on a distributed wiki provided by Fossil as a backend for storage/auth, Mustache + Material Design Lite for the frontend and Teapot using as middleware for logic and connecting frontend and backend. Teapot is connected with Fossil via JSON and domain objects are stored as Fossil wiki pages. So far the experiment is going well, but now I'm wondering about how to make authentication. In my experiments I use the Fossil user and password to get an auth token that is used via the Fossil's JSON API to make all the operations that require permissions on the repository and now I wonder how this strategy should be implemented for "real" (for the tests, I read the password data from a local temporal file). - There is some User Management Framework or project for Teapot or Zinc, without going to more complex frameworks like Seaside or Aida? - Should I have some "Sessions" object that stores logged users, passwords and/or auth tokens inside the image and deletes them once the user have logoff and/or on a time basis? - Any other strategy or lite user auth framework that I have not thought ? Any advice or experience in dealing with similar scenario is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Offray

is it related to Freetype or Athens?
by Hilaire June 8, 2017

June 8, 2017

Hi there, A Dr. Geo user on Ubuntu 64bits 16.04 got that buggy rendering of the canvas, then on some situation the rendering completely stop on a red screen, with a stack showing may be a zero divide error. I did not get access to the PharoDebog yet. Fonts on the screenshot is not right too. Could it be a mixed problem between FreeType and Cairo? Any first though on the issue welcome. Given the fact Dr. Geo is still based on Pharo3 and it works pretty fine on my old Ubuntu 12.07 derived system, it may be time to port the newer Pharo6. Congrats for the Pharo6 release.

ZnClient: how to emulate a curl command
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas June 8, 2017

June 8, 2017

Hi, I'm prototyping some integration between Fossil and Pharo for the creation of dynamic distributed web sites [1]. Now I would like to send some messages to store serialized STON domain objects as Fossil wiki pages. The command that makes this, using curl, is: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"authToken": "mytoken", "payload": {"name": "foo", "content": "bar"}}' http://localhost:8081/json/wiki/create and I thought that a similar command would be the one at [2], but there is something about ZnEntity that I'm not understanding. How can I replicate the curl command using ZnClient? [1] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Brea [2] http://ws.stfx.eu/D61ZOA1LEQNG Thanks, Offray

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc/Brick/Spec
by Glenn CavarlÃ© June 8, 2017

Hi Marc, It would be so cool but no, it's not planned. Like SDL and Morphic, Gtk is only used as a backend for windowing. This means that only primitives related to windowing are currently implemented (i.e GtkWindow related apis). Working on widget binding with Gtk or Qt is something i would like to start, maybe next year but it is quite hard/long to do well. The Mars framework built by Esteban was a really good starting point but it is not maintained. Thanks for your interest, Cheers, Glenn. ----- Glenn CavarlÃ© -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Bloc-Brick-Spec-tp4949591p4950514.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc/Brick/Spec
by Glenn CavarlÃ© June 8, 2017

Hi all, As well described by Peter, Bloc is a low level graphics library which mainly manages multi-windowing (Morphic, SDL, Gtk soon), user interaction (events) and drawing (using Sparta). Brick is a widget framework on top of Bloc (button, inputField, ...) and Spec is a "multi-backend" UI Builder. I know that the installation of Bloc can be confusing because of the multiple possibilities. For more information, Metacello and Zeroconf scripts are described here : https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Bloc/blob/master/INSTALL.md.

No need to move to Application folder for Pharo 6 32 and 64 bit versions
by Dimitris Chloupis June 8, 2017

June 8, 2017

I have latest macos sierra , dowload , opened and saved image for both pharo 6 (32 and 64 bit) and I see no problem doing that from the dowload folder without moving the apps to the Application folder. Am I missing something here ? Because when I dowloaded them there was a warning dialog that said that this would not work.

Some Metacello issue
by Holger Freyther June 8, 2017

June 8, 2017

Hi, after having made some new releases I have an odd Metacello issue and I am not sure how to debug it. This happens on my legacy Pharo3/Pharo4 images that I still need to support in deployment. It seems to be related to a dependency chain of "app"->VoyageMongo->Magritte3 3.5.0 and somehow version '3.1.1.1' of Magritte3 doing something with Grease #stable and not finding a 'Core' group. Any idea how to debug it or if any configuration changed recently? It also only seems to happen if there are two dependency chains that try to load the same VoyageMongo version.

Re: [Pharo-users] About patterns, UML and documentation
by Peter Uhnak June 8, 2017

> > with the tool and layout and stuff rather than concentrate on what is Well there are tools such as PlantUML that generate it for you, you can provide some hints, but generally it tends to be good enough to not be worried about layout. I have a Pharo -> PlantUML generator for class, object, and sequence diagrams somewhere, as I've used it to gain insight about some subsystems on several occasions, but I never published it... it's a bit of hacky code around Pharo's metaprogramming and reflecting capabilities... so you could in principle write it by hand in an hour or so... in fact doing so by hand might be beneficial for specific problem, because you can reverse-engineer only the parts that you care about instead of having everything or having a complex generator parametrization... > > Take Sven's NeoCSV package as an example.

I don't think that this is a good example. From user perspective you usually interact with only two classes (reader and writer)... and I don't really see how UML could help you there. The internal architecture on the other hand, or tools with models could benefit from it much more (at least in class diagrams, the relationships between elements tends to be the most important part, so if you have one or two classes... then you won't have much connections...).
