Hi Jannik,
You are raising an excellent point! Designing a documentation that find the right balance
between what roassal offers, how people want to use it, and considering the previous
knowledge people may have is hardly difficult.
Let me try:
- There are three sources of documentation for Roassal2: the
http://agilevisualization.com <http://agilevisualization.com/> book, examples
contains in Roassal2, and this mailing list. Chapters about Mondrian, Roassal1 are more
than obsolete by now.
- You may want to try to work with the core of Roassal. Just focus on the Roassal2-Core
then. Just look at the ‘Roassal Example’ in the example browser. Play a bit with it. Once
you understand the basic functionalities of Roassal, you can read more about the builders
(what I think you are referring to with ‘scripts’). Chapter II.1 in Agile Visualization.
An advice: do no try to build any complex Visualization in Roassal without having read the
builder infrastructure.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi Alex,
I am trying to use Roassal2. We can do amazing things with it. It is a powerful tool.
But, it lakes of documentation. I mean, there are lots of examples and we can reuse
them.
My problem is that I cannot create something from scratch, just because I do not
understand the workflow.
You know, I used Glamour and Mondrian, where the workflow were clear. In Roassal2, I am
playing with blocks without understanding and without any idea what can be the result
before executing it.
My problem is not about language or DSL or API.
My question is: do you have a document that explain how to think a Roassal script ?
It seems that to make something we can do it by multiple way. I just need one way to
understand the workflow or creating visualization.
Thank you for your help.
