yes I am looking at Roassal and definetly it gives a good insight into Athens.

Igor you are correct from what I see from the algorithms for finding if a point passes through a curve the work in kinda similar ground. I have to confess I have not looked into it yet, cause I am trying to solve some other problems but I will definitely need this.�

Right now I try to figure out how to implement my GUI , I want to support Spec so the gui elements ( lets say a button) is rendered by Athens but also called by Spec. Also I want to make something that will easy to port once Athens becomes the main render engine of Pharo and replaces Morphic rendering.�

But I am happy to say Hyperion is moving forward, a basic vector graphics editor is coming to Pharo ;)

have a look at roassal because mathieu started to implement something and he realized it was already in the image.

aaaaaahhh come on ... I am not THAT lazy :D�

of course I have searched it before asking. Unless I am blind I see loads of bezier methods, none that detects whether a point belong to a curve. But now you mention it I think I remember squeak was able to do add points to a curve via click or something similar, because thats what I wan to do. So I will take a look at it , most probably there is a method in there that does this.

I want the user to click on a curve or line and there a new control point will be placed that will allow the user to shape the line or curve to a finer detail. A standard feature for all vector editors , 3d editors, even image editors. �

I am sorry if I miss something obvious here, its not laziness , its most likely stupidity or just the fact I am very new with this. This is the first time I try to make a vector editor.Again thank you all for trying to help me, you have done already a lot.�

yes I found the formula for straight lines and I was wondering what was the one for bezier curves, so your reply could not have come a better moment. Thanks I will study it and implement it.�

Hello,

You may want to calculate the distance between the mouse position and
your path (I guess a bezier curve). Then given this distance and a
tolerance to zero you decide if the mouse position is more or less on
your path. Calculating the distance you will also get for free the place
where to add a point on your path.
