Hello
I am trying to work with composite shapes, but I encountered a problem. Let's say I need to create a circle... and in the center of it is another, smaller, circle with label (but I need it to be centered according to both label and smaller circle, that's why I decided to use composite shapes instead of RTLabelled). I am able to create it just fine, problem is when I call update on its RTElement. I'm not sure whether I am even supposed to do it, but I think I should be.
I start with just the inner circle with label:
| composite view | composite := (RTLabel new text: 'label'; yourself) + (RTEllipse new size: 10; yourself). composite horizontal. element := composite element. view := RTView new. view add: element; open. element update.
Before element update, it looks fine, but when I call update, composite layout (horizontal) gets lost.
Let's say I can ignore this problem (which I can't), and I will try the same thing with whole shape
| composite view subcomposite | subcomposite := (RTLabel new text: 'label'; yourself) + (RTEllipse new size: 10; yourself). subcomposite horizontal. composite := (RTEllipse new size: 50; color: Color transparent; borderColor: Color black; yourself) + subcomposite. element := composite element. view := RTView new. view add: element; open. element update
this time I get exception MessageNotUnderstood: TRCompositeShape>>text:on:
I will appreciate any help, either by fixing something if it is broken, or explaining how to reach my goal the correct way.
