Hi Markus,
May I ask:
Roassal and Pharo are really fantastic. I’m trying to get a grip on it and use it. What
makes me think:
In the introduction of the superb “Agile Visualization” book it is stated, that the
Roassal OO approach allows for visualizations that are “easily extensible”. I guess
compared to hand-crafted, imperative visualizations.
Thanks for your nice words
Let’s take an example: RTCalendarBuilder
I noticed that present visualization of week days start with Sunday as first day of week.
E.g. in Europe/Germany weeks start on Monday (according ISO8601). We are visually so used
to it, that other schemes make us think (not intuitive).
How could I modify this?
P.S.: Especially in calendrical visualizations there will be many (local) variations. So
maybe it’s a good example to understand how to easily extend Roassal in above and similar
topics as an interested user.
The Calendar visualization was more a proof of concept. It is true that many
important aspects (e.g., first day of the week) is not considered yet.
We will have a look at it and let you know.
