OK then it should be described in the class comment, because I never remember and end up
using the form I already used (the second).

Hi,
It's incorrect to say that x:y:add: expects an MONode.
FormsBuilder is supposed to be a generic algorithm for placing elements that have size in
a grid that can be scaled both horizontally and vertically.
In Mondrian it has two applications:
1. for building a complex shape. In this case x:y:add: accepts a Shape. You can see an
example in UMLClassDiagram>>umlShape. You obtain the shape from the builder by
sending #shape.
2. for laying out the nodes in a graph. This is achieved by passing MONodes in x:y:add:
and by sending asLayout to the FormsBuilder and as you see in the MOMatrixRenderer.
It appears to me that Marco wants the first solution.
Cheers,
Doru

Hi Marcos
Try this, it's a start:
view nodes: self entities forEach: [:each | | builder |
view shape rectangle text: [:e | e name].
builder := MOFormsBuilder new.
builder column ; fill.
builder row; fill ; row ; fill.
builder x: 1 y: 1 add: (view node: each).
builder x: 1 y: 2 add: (self viewMethodsForClass: each onView: view).
view layout: builder asLayout.
].
The most important thing is that #x:y:add: expects a MONode as last argument, that is you
always have something like:
builder x:1 y: 1 add: (view node: each)
builder x:1 y: 1 add: (view nodes: nodes)
builder x:1 y: 1 add: (view node: each forIt: ....)
builder x:1 y: 1 add: (view nodes: each forEach: ...)
and not
builder x:1 y: 1 add: view shape rectangle....
MOFormsBuilder is a beast difficult to work with. Unfortunately it is often the solution
for more complex layout (the other is embedding nodes in horizontal/vertical layouts). If
someone comes with a better API, he is welcome.
You can take a look at MOMatrixRenderer, which uses a FormsBuilder but with a specialized
API for matrix. It shows how to work with FormsBuilder (and provide a better API for some
task :) )

https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev Hi all,
I am trying to understand how to use the MOForms builder in the following script in the
context of a FAMIXClassGroup
view shape rectangle
height: [ :cls | cls numberOfMethods ];
width: [ :cls | cls numberOfAttributes ];
].
view nodes: self entities forEach: [:each | | builder |
view shape rectangle.
builder := MOFormsBuilder new.
builder column ; fill.
builder row; fill ; row ; fill.
builder x: 1 y: 1 add: MORectangleShape new.
builder x: 1 y: 1 add: (MOLabelShape new text: [ :e | e name ]).
builder x: 1 y: 2 add: (self viewMethodsForClass: each onView: view).
view layout: builder asLayout.
].
view
edges: self entities
from: [ :cls | cls superclass ].
view treeLayout
where the method #viewMethodsForClass:onView: is as follows:
viewMethodsForClass: class onView: view
view shape rectangle.
^view node: class forIt: [
view shape rectangle.
view nodes: class methods.
view gridLayout.]
What I would like to get is, for each class, a composite figure with
- a label on top
- a composite figure where each subfigure represent a method
Ideally the label and the composite should also be centrally aligned.
However, with my script I get figure attached.
Thanks!<mondrianFig.jpg>
