Pretty cool. Is the code available somewhere?
A couple of questions:
- from what I could read in your mails, you have built two layouts for the months and
days. Why was the GridLayout not enough?
- Did you consider building your own shape for the month, instead of relying on putting
together elements just for the visual appearance of a shape?
Cheers,
Doru

Hi guys,
With the feedback and help I collected from you, I managed to build the visualization I
described some days ago. Thanks ;)
Here is the preliminary result!
Cheers,

The class ROAnnouncer may have to be modified. I haven't closely look at it.
I will work on this asap.

Ok ;)
By the way I tried something like
selfDefinedInteraction add: [ :listOfNodes | listOfNodes do: [ :node | node forward:
event . node announce: event . ] . ].
But if only forwards the event..
At the moment I solved the problem by re-adding the highlight interaction instead of
forwarding it ;)

Currently no, but this looks easy to do.
Right now right now, I am on the zordering thingy. I hope to be done today. I will work
on processAndForward: right afterward.

Hi Roberto
Is there any way to both forward an event and also trigger it on the node itself?
Are you referring to something like:
view processAndForward: ROMouseClick.
Cheers,
Alexandre
NB: Sorry for being away from the mailing list these days. I am personally overwhelmed
with work these days and there are some important issues in Roassal to address (e.g.,
ROZOrdering). I will soon be back!
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
I don't understand, do you still need the names of the week? If you do, you can
follow the same idea and add something like this between the 'month name' and
'days' node:
view shape rectangleWithoutBorder .
view interaction forwarder.
view node: 'days names' forIt:[
view shape label.
view interaction forwarder.
view nodes: #('Sun' 'Mon' 'Tues' 'Wed' 'Thu'
'Fri' 'Sat').
].
For now the text does not zoom, but it is in the TODO list :)

Hi Roberto,
If I understood correctly, I was thinking of something like this:
Yes, I did almost the same thing except that I need another header under the month name
containing names of the week days.
Thanks for the answers! :) I have another question ;) is there any way to have the text
(i.e., label) zoomed together with the shapes?
view nodes: (1 to: 12) forEach: [:n |
view shape label.
view interaction forwarder.
view node: 'Month name'.
view shape rectangleWithoutBorder .
view interaction forwarder.
view node: 'days' forIt:[
view shape label.
view interaction forwarder.
view nodes: (1 to: 30).
view gridLayout.
].
view verticalLineLayout .
].
view gridLayout .
This is having a node for the header a node for the days. For the interaction, using
"interaction forwarder" I think makes what you want. Does this work for you?
Yep. I already solved that issue with the 'forwarder'. Thank you anyway.
Cheers,
Roberto

Hi,
It's me again! ;) I'm building a calendar visualization inspired by
http://www.xconomy.com/wordpress/wp-content/images/2012/11/skeuo-calendar.p….
Each node of visualization will be a month that contains:
- An header (with (a) the name of the month and (b) the headers for the columns
containing 'Mon' 'Tue' 'Wed' etc.)
- Inner nodes for the days
I created such visualization without the headers and now I'm wondering which is the
clearer solution to add them.
As I wrote in the previous mail, I'm using nodes:forEach: to generate the
visualization with inner nodes.
The first solution that came to my mind is to nest another nodes:forEach to draw the
headers. Let me explain:
view nodes: months forEach: [ :month |
…
headers := OrderedCollection with: month name .
headers addAll: #('Sun' 'Mon' 'Tue' 'Wed' 'Thu'
'Fri' 'Sat' ).
view nodes: headers forFirst: [ :header |
'The first header is an instance of the Month class, which is used as a key in the
Dictionary that represents my data.'
'Thus I use that to recover the days for the current month from the dictionary'
days := myData at: header.
view nodes: days.
]
]
Notice that nodes:forFirst: is a message I implemented that works like nodes:forEach: but
only considers the first node of nodes and attaches the inner nodes only to that element.
I feel this solution is a bit of a hack. How would you do it in a cleaner way?
____
Another question concerns drag & drop. I set my inner nodes (i.e, days) to be not
draggable since I do not want the user to drag them, but I want the user to be able to
drag the entire shape representing a month (i.e., outer node). As an effect to drag the
month you should explicitly start the dragging from the outer node but this is counter
intuitive. I'd like to be able to drag the month also from its inner nodes (days).
Is there a way to propagate the interaction and from the inner nodes I can drag the
container shape?

Thanks in advance,
Roberto
