Call for suggestions: Morph has 997 methods

Hi guys

It would be great if we could assess Morphic fat.
I think that with 997 methods not counting the MorphExtension class,  
we should be able to
clean Morph and friend.
So if you see passing unused, useless, broken Morph code please report  
it

Stef,

One interesting idea that I saw mentioned a long time ago was to create a new set of classes that use DNU as a prompt to grab the missing method from the corresponding morph class.  After a while, it should converge on a minimal set of methods, at least as written.

Another thing: the Guzdial and Rose book contains "Back to the Future Once More" that contains a statement of intent to replace morphic with something better.  I further recall some mention of replacing morphic's use of global coordinates with morph-local coordinates, though I do not recall where I read that.

Bill

I did it :)
But it crashed.
I did the same with mw and I got 600 methods when opening and closing  
methods.

yes but we need a good soul to implement it: lessphic


 


But first cleaning unused or not useful would be also good.
