Hi, I'm interested in using Pharo to create a simulation with animated 2-D graphical output. The user can start/stop the simulation, change display modes, zoom in and out, and change various settings during operation. That means that, in addition to a graphical pane, I need a menu bar or maybe a panel of buttons which create popup windows. Can I use Spec for such a thing? I don't see any way to embed a graphical pane in a Spec application. The Spec examples don't include one either. Secondly, if it is possible to use Spec, what would you recommend for the graphics? Bloc and Sparta look very appealing but aren't officially released yet. The long-term futures of the other options aren't clear to me.

Sounds like a cool project! Dan Wilczak wrote

Yes, for the vanilla parts you described e.g. toolbar Dan Wilczak wrote

There is a Morphic adapter, but I don't have an image at hand to give you more detail. Dan Wilczak wrote

Yes, ATM Morphic is the standard option. Hopefully, Bloc will be ready to replace it soon. ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
