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!
