Depending on Dennis' requirements, the problem with using two elements is
that when node '1' is moved, node 'test' does not move with it.
Guessing from what I can see of the Roassal architecture, it seems shapes
are meant for this purpose to remain in a fixed orientation its element. The
difficulty however with putting a label at the bottom is that the height of
the ChildrenShape is dynamic depending on how you drag around the inner
nodes.
With recent changes I had requested regarding shapes, I envisage
something like the following would work, and you can see the label
positioned correctly but the mouse interaction to drag 'inner2' is not quite
right yet, or I'm doing it wrong:
-----------------
| view outer inner1 inner2 childrenShape labelOffsetShape |
outer := ((ROElement spriteOn: 'outer') + ROLabel ).
inner1 := ((ROElement bare on: 'SN-TestData') @ RODraggable @
ROLightlyHighlightable ). "shapes defined later"
inner2 := ((ROElement spriteOn: 'inner2' ) + ROLabel @
ROLightlyHighlightable ).
childrenShape := ROChildrenShape new.
labelOffsetShape := ROTranslatingShape offset:
[ :el2 | | offset |
offset := 0 @ (childrenShape boundsFor: el2) extent y negated.
Transcript crShow: offset asString, ' ', el2 model asString.
offset
].
inner1 + ROBorder + childrenShape + labelOffsetShape + ROLabel.
view := (ROView new @ RODraggable) add: (outer add: (inner1 add:
inner2)).
view open.
------------------

Actually you can with something like this:
| view rawView nodes node label |
rawView := ROView new.
view := ROMondrianViewBuilder view: rawView.
view shape rectangle.
nodes := view node: 'example' forIt:[
view interaction forwarder.
view shape rectangle size: 100.
view node: 1.
view interaction forwarder.
view shape label.
view node: 'test'.
view verticalLineLayout.
].
view noLayout.
view open.
In which the interactions to the nodes are "forwarder" to the parent. But
yes, the solution with ROTranslatingShape seems nicer :)
Cheers,

If you remove the outer border, then that may be just what is required.
Doing this layout at the element level like this seems easier, but not so
flexible as with shapes. Now for my additional benefit, how would you do
that raw Roassal. That is, by removing ROMondrianViewBuilder from the
example.
