Offray, I wanted to try Grafoscopio but couldn't load it in Pharo4 (windows) I used your stfx workspace as mentioned on STH. "Updates the system prerequisites with new versions of itself take from the source code repository" "Visualization library (which also makes main menu loadable)" Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile' project: 'Roassal2'; configurationOf: 'Roassal2'; loadStable. "Open/save files on STON format" Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'SvenVanCaekenberghe' project: 'STON'; configurationOf: 'Ston'; loadBleedingEdge. "Moose and Roassal integration" Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'Glamour'; package: 'Glamour-Tools'; package: 'Glamour-Roassal2-Presentations'; load. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'GToolkit'; package: 'GT-InspectorExtensions-CoreRoassal'; load. "Integration with external tools" Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Offray' project: 'Grafoscopio'; package: 'Grafoscopio-ExternalTools'; load. "HTML scrapping" Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'Soup'; configurationOf: 'Soup'; loadStable. "Data visualization" Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Offray' project: 'Dataviz'; package: 'Dataviz'; load. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Offray' project: 'Grafoscopio'; package: 'Grafoscopio'; load. Just that I put #loadStable instead of #loadDevelopment for Roassal. So, how is one opening the tool? I tried: GrafoscopioGUI new open. but got EclipseUIThemeIcons MNU: catalogIcon I put another icon just to get past and as I found no World menu entry, I did: GrafoscopioGUI new openWithSpec. Clicking on the toobar gives me Por implementar... Any resource for me to look at? A "Notebook" in Pharo, I want to try :-) Phil On Tue, Sep 29, 2015 at 2:56 PM, Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas < offray@riseup.net> wrote:

Looks interesting !
Thanks :).
Did you have a look to Jupyter notebook ?
Yep, I know it. In fact I come from IPython to Pharo because I need a more moldable and flexible environment for data narratives and visualization and adapting IPython/Jupyter has a lot of cognitive burden when is not development but writing/research your primary goal. I have wrote about it here[1][2]:

Thinking now about it, it occurs to me that grafoscopio is to Jupyter kind of what SmalltalkHub is to GitHub. It tries to solve the same problem of Jupyter (interactive documentation) but with a different approach, from a "pharo/smalltalk" perspective. For me the big advantage are tree like interactive documents (as pointed in [2]), a feature that Jupyter notebooks are still lacking and that starts to weight when you start to write a long interactive document on Jupyter with only cells. You can split the document on several files, but you lost panoramic view (you see only the current file) or have a single long one file, but then your are lost in the details (see an example of an abandoned notebook exploration at [3])

This could be nice if we could have a Pharo support for this (already
supported by other languages like R, Python, Scala, etc ...).
Best,
Or have it the other way around: R, Python, Scala supported in Pharo, without the constrains of a web interface and the notebook "cells only" format. Maybe some kind of support for the ZeroMQ jupyter kernel could be the start of this kind of multi-language support *inside* Pharo documents.
Cheers,
Offray
