[Moose-dev] Re: [Pharo-project] Mondrian: present and future

• scalable spring layout (also known as force based layout): this is a

very simple and nice layout that produces amazing results

• add layers: embedding a rendering or a part of it in a layer. Layers

could then be iteratively activated and desactivared. The idea is to enable the construction of scripts in a very iterative and incremental way.

this is a nice idea

Thanks :)

Fun to hear that, because the initial Mondrian code I wrote for Squeak/Pharo had layers. Also an efficient spring layout with edges that automatically avoid nodes and that are optimized for minimal crossings was implemented by Julien Fierz and part of the code at some point in time.
