[Moose-dev] Re: Tag cloud around an avatar

Hi, There is a RTNameCloud class that you can use for tag clouds. There is also couple of examples. 1. Put a tag cloud with some layout/form (for example around an object). Right now RTNameCloud uses RTRectanglePackLayout which doesn't allow you to "fix" elements in place, so this would have to be rewritten/modified, or some other workaround. Or you can plug your own layouting into RTNameCloud. > 2. Put a raster image (the avatar) in the center of that tag cloud. As for raster image, there is RTBitmap, as for the placing see answer above. > 3. Exclude some words from the tag cloud. Not right now. You would have to extend it. Look at RTNameCloud>>addWord: and addString: methods. Also if you add an extra object, the builder only layouts its own stuff, so a crude example may be ============================= | b url form | b := RTNameCloud new addString: 'open | v shape | v := RTView new. shape := RTLabel new height: [ :assoc | assoc value ]; text: #key. v addAll: (shape elementsOn: table associations). RTFlowLayout on: v elements. v open'. b build. url := ' http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/da33a5de07879db5ea0d55be9f875932?s=100'#39;. "<-- the layouting is based on sizes, so if you change ?s=100 to ?s=40 the image will be center-ish" url asZnUrl. form := ZnEasy getJpeg: url. b view add: (RTBitmap new form: form) element. RTRectanglePackLayout new on: b view elements. "<-- since I added a new element I have to layout it myself" ^ b view ============================= Peter > I will be making my explorations tonight and tomorrow morning, but any > pointer in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. > Cheers, > Offray > _______________________________________________ > Moose-dev mailing list > Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch > https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev
