Hello, I don't really know how to answer. Are your examples really from smalltalk-80 ? Were they running on the Xerox-D microcoded machine ? Because I don't think there are anymore smalltalk-80 available right now, nor machine that can run it. There's a smalltalk-78 running on javascript on the web but that's a bit different. Here you're on the Pharo mailing list, which is a smalltalk which has evolved during 35 years starting from smalltalk-80, so it's quite different from smalltalk-80 right now (for example, closures and exceptions were added, support for modern computers too). To use window as you are doing something like that works: | window | window := StandardWindow new. window title: 'Hello World' . window open However nowadays people use frameworks to build UIs in Pharo, not such APIs. So it depends what you want to do. 2014-11-26 14:16 GMT+01:00 Hans Schueren <werbung@hans-schueren.de>:

To whom it may concern ,

may i ask for some help about standard graphic routines ?

As a beginner i just have learned all the first level SYNTAX of smalltalk 80.

Now , you can imagine , i am interested in writing little GUI windows and graphics for

placing some text in the right positions.

Theese are the statements i have studied from my material.

Does anybody know why the statements not work?

Are there any "replacements" for the syntax that i posted here as example ?

Have a nice day

HERE ARE THE EXAMPLES :

| window | window := ScheduledWindow new. window component: 'Hello World' asComposedText. window open

| window | window := ScheduledWindow new. window label: 'Fenster ohne Inhalt'. window minimumSize: 200 @ 100; maximumSize: 400 @ 300. window open

displayOn: aGraphicsContext 1 to: 10 do: [:i| aGraphicsContext translation printString asComposedText displayOn: aGraphicsContext. aGraphicsContext translateBy: 15 @ 15]

Greetings
