I have built an application based on the GTInspector.
Hurray!
Looks really nice!
Now I want to share it and I need to write documentation. I would like to
include screenshots in the docs but I don't want to create them by hand.
So my question is: Is there an easy way to automatically generate
screenshots for GTInspector extension methods? e.g. to specify an object
and the name of a presentation and to get a PNG file of how that looks in
the GTInspector.
To add to Juraj's email you can use something like the following:
inspectorWindow := GTInspector inspector: Morph new.
inspector := inspectorWindow model.
inspectorsPresentations := inspector panes first presentations first
cachedPresentation first.
inspectorsPresentations pane lastActivePresentation:
(inspectorsPresentations presentations detect: [ :each|
each title = 'Morph']).
morph := inspectorWindow.
"morph exportAsPNG."
file := Smalltalk imageDirectory / morph externalName, '.png'.
PNGReadWriter putForm: morph imageForm onFileNamed: file.
inspectorWindow close.
This opens an inspector, selects a certain presentation based on its title
and then exports the entire inspector window as a png.
If you want to export only certain parts of the inspector you can play with
Morph>>#allMorphsDo: to locate within the inspector window for example only
the morph showing a certain presentation.
Thanks!
P.S. References to how other people write their docs in general would be
interesting.
I usually use pillar :). There are several extension for the inspector that
you can use to edit pilar documents.
P.P.S. Here is GTInspector browsing internal data structures of a JIT
compiler :-)
Quite nice!
Cheers,
Andrei
