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
