Hi all,
And now it looks like I will need to analyze a part of our own code, written in C#. Is there a parser for C# in Moose and if so, how extensive/solid is it?
TIA

I would like to make my GTInspector views work well with different font
sizes. In particular, some people find the default Pharo font too small and
want to switch to a larger one.
The main problem is that my tables have their column width specified in
pixels. The values are chosen to make good use of screen space with the
default font size, but it becomes unreadable with a larger font that
doesn't fit.
How should I solve this?
The first idea that comes to mind is to invent my own units that are scaled
according to system font size when converted to pixels. I wonder if there
is a better known solution already though.
Cheers!

Yes, it does:

I am not quite sure what you mean by filling the pool by releasing objects. Can you explain? Also, I let Alex describe the details :)

We could certainly do better, but I think that any meaningful conversation must happen around code, and we’d be happy to learn where we did not exploit all abstractions we could. Actually, I would be happy to even have a conversation about issues, even if the solution is not given. It can start by simply being pointed to code that does not sound right.

"Don't give to get. Just give."
Hi,
We are happy to announce an initial version of GT Diagrammer, an engine for constructing diagrams interactively. This is the newest addition to the next generation GT built on Bloc.
It looks like this:
https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/976341449267531776
We chose to work on Diagrammer for multiple reasons. First, developers often need to create hand built diagrams to communicate intentions, and an integrated experience should not require us to leave our environment to create them. At the same time, Diagrammer is an application that requires a widgets and interactions, and thus it is a nice exercise for Bloc and Brick.
One requirement we had from the beginning was to make it work with any Bloc element. This means that the editing part had to be reasonably generic. To this end, we now have elements that can define visual editors. This is somewhat a combination between Magritte descriptions, and inspector extensions. An interesting side effect is that now we can edit visual properties when inspecting any element. In other words, we got the basic infrastructure of a UI painter. It looks like this:
https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/982656456968241152
The user interface essentially relies on two widgets: scrollable list and toggle button. While the visual look of the toggle button is inspired from material design, the most interesting part is that now we have an implementation for controlling looks per element instance. A key issue here is that looks can react to events coming from the element and inject visual attributes and possible even change behavior (for example, changing an icon while pressing a button). We will post more about looks soon.
We now also have a nice solution for overlays. For example, we have an overlay showing selection and an overlay for resizing elements.
Perhaps less obvious, Diagrammer also offers a basic infrastructure for the area of visual languages. As Diagrammer works with any Bloc elements, we can simply create dedicated visual elements. As an example, Diagrammer comes with an implementation of a UML class figure. Furthermore, as the functionality does not impose a specific model, custom language semantics can be mapped on visual actions.
There are several things to do still for it to become a mature solution. An important next step is to serialize a diagram scene in a reproducible manner. Currently, the diagram (or any element) can be exported as pdf (https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/976580153802358786), svg (https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/976578060429484032), png, gif or jpeg by directly using the low level canvas. However, for the diagram to be truly useful we need to store the result in either code or another reloadable form such as STON. Other future directions are related to figure controlling (for example, custom anchors or line bending points) and to enhanced editors.
To play with it, the easiest way is to download the new GT in a Pharo 6.1 image:
Metacello new
baseline: 'GToolkit';
repository: 'github://feenkcom/gtoolkit/src';
load.
And then inspect:
GtDiagrammerElement new

Hi guys
Giovanni is in my office and telling that (and we verified it) that PetitParser2 cannot load from the catalog in Pharo 6.1

Hi all,
I posted a question like this a week ago but had no response, so here we go, more explicitly:
I would like a get a GLMRubricTextPresentation using the StandardFonts codeFont. I do not see how to configure this. The text is not ST so I cannot use the different ST presentations that are available.
I have been looking for some time now, but cannot see a solution. Can anybody help me out?

Hello,
I am defining my own metamodel, and I am using the MSE pragmas.
I use <MSEProperty:type:opposite:> and <multivalued>
I also see the pragma <derived>. Could you explain me what it is?
And also, for example, in FAMIXReference>>target, there is a pragma
<target> (same for <source>). Is it a specific pragma ?
Is there a page explaining all the available pragmas ?
Thanks a lot for your help
Best regards,

This is one that I already had several times and could not find a proper
answer:
How to have nodes grouped in containers (e.g. classes in packages) and
links from one inner node (i.e. a class) to another one possibly from a
different container (e.g. inheritance links from one package to another
one) ?

Alexandre,
Sure, I'm implementing pie charts and histograms for Dictionary also. Let me know what next steps might be for properly finishing the existing histogram implementation...

Hi Brennan,
The implementation of the histogram was never properly finished.
It would be fantastic to build a new implementation. It should not be that hard actually.
We could have discussion if you wish to help :-)

Alexandre
