Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium New issue 900 by benjamin...(a)gmail.com: Glamour-Roassal should be able to work with raw ROView not just ROMondrianBuilder http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=900 Hopefully, I've cracked this. In response to my own query: "Could something like a GLMMorphicRoassalRawRenderer be added to the Glamour-Roassal interface? - which would pass an unencumbered ROView to the paintingBlock. It is not really a Glamour-Roassal interface at the moment, more of a Glamour-Mondrian interface." With the attached slice you can now go... browser transmit to: #graphic andShow: [ :a | a roassal newView: [ ROView new @ RODraggable ] ; painting: [:view :input | view add: ROElement new] ]. After loading you can first try the new & old tests in 'Glamour-Tests-Roassal' then try 'GLMRawRoassalExamplesBrowser open' I surprised myself that I got this far. A few times I hit a brick wall and was going to submit a half done proof-of-concept, but then just kept digging. Apart from hopefully getting integrated, some critical feedback would appreciated. A few points for review... 1. I had considered using #viewPrototype: with an instance to copy, but then I wasn't sure how deep I should copy it to produce a new view. So using a block with newView: seemed the safer path (and it also feels like it opens up some interesting possibilities, even if I can't think what they are at the moment) 2. I noticed that GLMRoassalPresentation>>renderOn: had a flag 'This should be the responsibility of the view'. This method was one that I previously copied and modified for GLMRoassalRawPresentation in my "Interactive Roassal" experiment. There I removed the calls to #applyLayout and #populateMenuOn since these were MNU for ROView (which had replaced ROMondrianViewBuilder). This time I pushed these two calls into ROMondrianViewBuilder>>preOpen, where ROView>>preOpen is left empty. I'm note sure I'm happy with #preOpen as a name but it was the best I could come up with, since I also refactored ROMondrianViewBuilder>>open to use it. 3. GLMMorphicRoassalRenderer>>render: had hardcoded reference to #stack with "ROMorph on: view stack" so I pushed the required difference into ROMondrianBuilder>>newMorph and ROView>>newMorph. 4. GLMMorphicRoassalRenderer>>actOnPresentationUpdate had hardcoded use of #stack in "setView: aView stack" so I pushed that into ROMondrianViewBuilder>>onMorph: and ROView>>onMorph: 5. GLMMorphicRoassalRenderer>>actOnPresentationUpdate had hardcoded ROMondrianViewBuilder so I modified this to use the block passed to GLMRoassalPresentation>>newView: . 6. I copied GLMRoassalMorphicTest to GLMRawRoassalMorphicTest with required modifications. 7. I copied GLMRoassalExamplesBrowser to GLMRawRoassalExamplesBrowser with required modifications.
