For creating a browser that refreshes automatically
have a look at
GLMPresentation>>#wantsSteps, GLMPresentation >>wantsAutomaticRefresh, and
GLMPresentation >>stepTime.These just use the stepping mechanism from
Morphic. For this to work you'll need to create your browser in a subclass
of GLMCompositePresentation and override #step. GTInspector>>step is an
example.
If you want to enable refresh in the inspector use GTInspector
class>>enableStepRefresh. Then you need to configure your extension using
#wantsAutomaticRefresh:. For the moment this will just work for #fastTable
and #fastList presentations. I can tell you what you need to add to Glamour
if you are using other presentations.
Could you please tell me how to do this for text?
For my use case of showing the incremental output of a running Unix process
it seems to make the most sense to display in a text presentation (could
make a list of lines instead...) and to poll frequently on a stepping
callback.
