[Moose-dev] Re: Parallel coordinates like diagram

Hi Manfred, I have just updated Roassal with two methods #horizontal and #vertical defined on RTBezierLine. Here is an example on how to use it: v := RTView new. shape := RTEllipse new size: 15; color: Color blue trans. e1 := shape element. e2 := shape element. v add: e1; add: e2. e1 @ RTDraggable. e2 @ RTDraggable. e := RTBezierLine vertical edgeFrom: e1 to: e2. v add: e. With this, you will not need to create intermediary elements. Something important, I strongly suggest you to have a dedicated builder. Having very long script is painful...

Unfortunately, I just did not have time to experiment with this any further. My latest attempt was to replace the straight lines with BezierLine elements. The code and a screenshot can be found here: https://gist.github.com/mkroehnert/aa3d1d9913cb0f29a49f It looks okay, but in my opinion, the code for creating the BezierLine is a bit cumbersome. Especially having to create invisible RTEllipse elements for control points. Therefore, it would be nice to have your opinion on this. Is this correct, or are there better ways to achieve this?
