Agile visualization book as an interactive grafoscopio document

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi all, This mail will have two parts, a small first one where I share my advances and little context on the project and the second one, with details where I made specific questions regarding concepts and code and how to make progress. I hope to be fluid and proper balanced and interesting enough to get feedback soon. Context ======= I have made a small video at [1] showing my progress on Grafoscopio[2], a tool for the creation of interactive notebooks for open/citizen/garage science and research (for a better view I recommend to see the video in full screen mode). As you can see, I have a complete outline of the Agile Visualization book stored as a single "ston document" [3], that can be exported to pandoc's markdown [4] and from there to LaTeX, pdf, html, doc, etc. It can contain special tagged nodes and the view and behaviour of them change accordingly to the tag. In the video a node tagged as code is showed as an interactive playground where you can execute an explore the objects deeper. My problem is that this kind of special nodes are not saved, as happens with default nodes and the reason is that the special view (which is a sub-browser) is not wired properly to the rest of the browser and that's why I get a nill value after revisiting the code node in the video. [1] https://archive.org/details/gfcp-alpha-code-exec-but-non-saving.mp4 [2] http://mutabit.com/offray/static/blog/output/posts/grafoscopio-idea-and-ini… [3] http://mutabit.com/deltas/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/doc/tip/Docs/En/Books/Ag… [4] http://mutabit.com/deltas/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/doc/tip/Docs/En/Books/Ag… Details ======= The logic of what I'm doing is something like this: i. When a node in tree at the left is selected, it shows the contents of the selected tree. ii. If something changes in the node content at the right, the changes are automatically updated. iii. If a node is tagged in a special way, a custom browser is called. The code that select which sub-browser to show for a particular tagged node is something like this: ==[a]============================== UI>>buildBrowserNamed: aName "Main method for building the interface for trees and its nodes. The name of the browser corresponds to the name of the file where tree is stored (or is named 'draft.ston' by default)" "... snip" (browser transmit) from: #tree port: #selection; to: #nodeBody; when: [:selection | selection notNil]; andShow: [ :a :node | self bodyIn: a for: node. self body2ForCodeIn: a for: node. self bodyForTransmediaIn: a for: node ]. "... snip" "Creating a self updatable body pane" (browser transmit) from: #tree port: #selection; to: #nodeBody; when: [:selection | selection notNil]; andShow: [ :a :node | self bodyIn: a for: node. self body2ForCodeIn: a for: node. self bodyForTransmediaIn: a for: node ]. (browser transmit ) from: #tree port: #selection; from: #nodeBody port: #text; when: [:node :text | text notNil & node notNil]; to: #nodeBody port: #neverland; transformed: [:node :text | node body: text asString]. (browser transmit) from: #tree; to: #nodeHeader; andShow: [ :h | self headerOn: h ]. (browser transmit ) from: #tree port: #selection; from: #nodeHeader port: #text; to: #nodeHeader port: #neverland1; when: [:node :text | text notNil & node notNil]; transformed: [:node :text | node header: text asString] =================================== The last part of the code is responsible for updating the tree contents automatically with The "body2ForCodeIn: for:" [b] is the responsible for showing the playground by calling a custom browser that is called "panelAsCodeFor:"[c]. Here is their code: ==[b]============================== UI>> body2ForCodeIn: constructor for: aNode "Shows the body of a selected node as executable code." aNode tags = 'cÃ³digo' ifFalse: [ ^self ] ifTrue: [constructor custom: (self panelAsCodeFor: aNode)]. =================================== ==[c]============================== panelAsCodeFor: aNode "Shows an interactive playground for Smalltalk code in a node body" browser := GLMTabulator new. browser title: 'CÃ³digo'. browser column: #code. browser transmit to: #code; transformed: [ GTPlayPage new content: aNode body ]; andShow: [ :a | a custom: GTPlayground new ]. browser sendToOutside: #nodeBody from: #code -> #text. ^ browser. =================================== So, wiring by "sendToOutside: from:" is not working and I don't know how to tell my code browser to autosave its contents as part of the node body where they belong. Any help with this is appreciated. Cheers, Offray

I like the look of the eaterMe :) This is really nice to have your games because I would really like to extract from all these board games a frameworks for doing games. Anna will probably contact you because your games are much better coded than the old ones :) Stef

Impressive! I love your tetris. In the Sudoku you should put bigger numbers, they are too small. The eater I think is still work in progress, isn't it?

Hi , I developed some little games in distribution v3 (seems they work fine in v4 except perhaps some visual difference).

You have basically logicalfont that describes what you want then a logicial font is checking reality and you get a Strikefont? or a FT Now htere were many patches and globals so this part would really need to cleaning such StandardFonts which is a kind of registry. Especially because FT are not polymorphic with StrikeFont. Le 8/2/15 22:33, kilon alios a Ã©crit : > Does pharo come with its own standard TTFs ?

Does pharo come with its own standard TTFs ? I am unfamiliar with how fonts work in Pharo exactly will take a look at mines and see what I can understand.
