Hi Cris,
You are right. The examples you provide are a bit hacky. The standard way in Roassal is to
use composite shapes.
Try this:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
v := RTView new.
boxShape := RTBox new color: Color veryLightGray.
labelShape := RTLabel new text: #name.
composite := RTCompositeShape new.
composite add: boxShape.
composite add: labelShape.
composite allOfSameSizeWithPadding.
elements := composite elementsOn: (Collection withAllSubclasses copyFrom: 1 to: 5).
v addAll: elements.
elements when: TRMouseClick do: [ :evt |
evt element model: Collection withAllSubclasses atRandom.
evt element update.
RTGridLayout on: elements. ].
RTGridLayout on: elements.
v
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The code I provide defines a callback that changes the label. You can see how to adapt
it.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hello,
I'd like to visualize a graph where the nodes are boxes and they have text inside.
The boxes should grow or shrink horizontally so the text doesn't go outside the box.
I saw the answer at
http://forum.world.st/Roassal2-Label-width-td4847887.html
<http://forum.world.st/Roassal2-Label-width-td4847887.html> which led me to a
solution. However, I've commented the "not robust" part below, since
it's passing by "lbl" which I suspect could change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| b label el |
b := RTView new.
el := RTBox new elementOn: 'hello world'.
label := RTLabeled new center.
b add: el.
el @ label.
"not robust"
el width: label lbl width.
el height: label lbl height.
b
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found the unit tests for RTLabel (RTLabelTest) and I found another solution, but maybe
it's equally fragile?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| text b lblBox lblForCalc dummyElement |
text := 'Text inside the box'.
b := RTView new.
lblBox := (RTBox new elementOn: text) + RTLabel.
lblForCalc := RTLabel new text: text.
dummyElement := RTElement new.
lblBox height: (lblForCalc heightFor: dummyElement).
lblBox width: (lblForCalc widthFor: dummyElement).
b add: lblBox.
b
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd love to get some feedback on these approaches. Maybe there's a simpler robust
way? Thanks!
