Well... I did this because in Mondrian it was a complete mess with the width and height
defined on a shape that has to be cached in a node. At the top of this, I then realized
that a node may have several shapes using the complex form. This resulted in a complex
piece of code.
Having the bounds defined on a shape is indeed a possibility that I may explore. Before
adding new things on the API I would like to have case studies. I will port some of the
mondrian scripts.
Thanks for triggering this discussion.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi!
I've spent a bit of time in trying to port DSM to Roassal. Unfortunately not
everything goes as smooth as I wished. The task is clearly doable, but it is a bit more
than merely changing MOViewRenderer for ROMondrianViewBuilder.
For example, there is code like:
shapeOfDetailedHeader
^ MOFixedRectangleShape new width: 36; height: 10; withoutBorder; fontSize: 8;
fontFamily: 'Accuny'
In Roassal, the width and the height is defined on the element, and not the shape. A
ROBox does not know how to display text, it has to be added a ROLabel in it.
I think you are mistaken the width of a shape with the bounds of an element. For example,
if you have a complex shape, you will have shapes with different widths within the same
bounds of the overall element.
So, it should still be the responsibility of a shape to decide the visual width, and the
responsibility of the element is to decide the spatial width.
On a related note, I mentioned before that even if you have decorators, you are still
missing the possibility of the decorator to enlarge the bounds.

Well... I feel the safer is to revert what I have
done yesterday, and leaving DSM use Mondrian. Else if someone wants to rethink DSM a bit.
Cheers,
Alexandre
