Hello,
Currently I'm trying to implement a new 'kind' of glamour browser. The idea
would be to just allow the user to specify some panes, then we will display
those panes in a Kind of 'Dashboard'.
For now , it would be basically to put all the panes one under the other
over two columns (plus a scrollbar if the columns size goes out the size of
the browser window).
What I would like to do now, is to give to a pane a more or less important
height size according its morph contents is mor or less big.
After looking a bit, it seems difficult to retrieve information about an
'optimal' extent in which a Morph should be displayed. Sending 'extent' to
a
PanelMorph always return 50@40 (whatever what is inside). Someone in the
mailing list told me about a 'minExtent' method, but in my cases, it returns
something even smaller than 'extent'.
As it looks quite difficult to do that from the 'Morph' part, I was
wondering if it could be a good idea to have something in Glamour itself.
Each presentation would have an 'optimal' extent. A browser presentation
would compute it by composing the optimal extents of its children. ?
