E.g. searching for 'Test2' gives no result.

Athens backend is based on a vector "drawing" library that does not mean it can generate any vector drawing files ... luckily, cairo can ! And with just a couple of native function calls, we can add this support to athens (see attached svg images)

Re: [Pharo-users] adding an element to an empty array

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Or if you want to create an array with elements already in it (this works both for array and collections) you can also do ~~~~~~~~~~ { anElement } "dynamic array syntax, Pharo-only" ~~~~~~~~~~ or ~~~~~~~~ #('element') "static array, works only for scalars" ~~~~~~~~ or ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Array with: anElement "constructor method, works also with more elements... Array class>>with:with:with:..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ or ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OrderedCollection with: anElement "as above, but creates a collection instead" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 2:23 PM, Henrik Johansen < henrik.s.johansen(a)veloxit.no> wrote: > > On 29 Jun 2015, at 2:18 , abdelghani ALIDRA <alidrandco(a)yahoo.fr> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > Is there any way to add an element to an empty array (must not use new: > anElement)? > > Cheers > > > It sounds like you want to use an OrderedCollection, not an Array. > Those will grow and shrink as needed when you use add:/remove: calls. > > Cheers, > Henry >

Hmm. What would be the best way to do that? - I assume in Bloc with Cairo I should be able to use an SVGCanvas? - SVG is pretty simple, I could just walk the morph tree and generate a file. - Roassal2 has SVG export. I could generate a Roassal image and export that. Stephan
