As is commonly the case, ChatGPT is highly plausible but completely wrong. The current version is Roassal3. "Agile Visualisation" is about Roassal2.
From the examples I've seen, none of the code in the book works in the new version. The classes have different prefixes. I was hoping that there was a new edition of the book to go with the new version of the code.

I have been overusing chatgpt, which gave this answer (which I checked and seems rather reasonable):
Question:
âIs there a book describing the current version of Roassal? Itâs related to Pharo programming.â
Answer:
Yes, there is a book that describes the current version of Roassal:
⢠ð âAgile Visualization with Pharoâ by Alexandre Bergel.
This book focuses on the Roassal visualization engine and provides the essential tools for visualizing data in Pharo.
â¡ï¸ Amazon link
For more up-to-date documentation, you can also check out the official GitHub repository:
⢠ð ï¸ Roassal on GitHub:
This repository contains the source code, examples, and documentation for Roassal.
â¡ï¸ GitHub link
These resources should give a solid understanding of the current version of Roassal in Pharo.
But perhaps there is a book it did not findâ¦
