I like the separation between selecting (single-click) and spawning (double-click). The miller column panning is indeed working with a two-finger drag on the touchpad. I will need to test whether this gesture works when running GT on Linux and operating it on a Mac via VNC. That's the most common setup for our application.
Spotter is not urgent for us. I have written some extensions for it but we aren't really using them much yet. If the inspector is working well then that's the main thing.
I do have one very important Roassal visualization that I need to bring with me smoothly somehow. Question is whether to port if over to the new framework or somehow smoothly embed Roassal in the new GT?
The visualization is for compile SSA intermediate representation code and looks like this:
There are some important properties about this diagram:
- These are two digraphs stacked on top of each other.
- Nodes are always placed below their parents.
- Y-position indicates the max number of edges to reach parent nodes.
- Extra edges (red) can create cycles and should be ignored for layout purposes.
- Nodes can be compound shapes i.e. colored opcode and optionally fused immediate operands in white.
- Each node is an object that can be selected and inspected in the next miller column.
Can this be done in the new framework with similar effort to the old one?
