HELP!! can't use windows in a proper way

hi this is the first mail a send to this list, so I'll introduce my
self, I'm an Argentinian systems engineering student  from UTN
(national tecnological university) introduction done here's the thing:
I'm implementing a genetic algorithm in squeak  I've found an
implementation but a wanted to do it my self, I managed to make all
the code from the algorithm itself but i can't find the way to display
it properly, on a nice window, I have implemented printOn: in all my
classes so i'm able to print all my individuals and populations
what i need is to have graphics of how they evolve and put them on a
window i know how to create a window but I don't how to put things on
them, and I've browse the senders of addMorph: Frame: but I dont
understand them.
any help is good for me  thanks

pd:I LOVE SMALLTALK CAN'T USE ANOTHER LANGUAGE SINCE I LEARNED A BIT OF IT

Hello Gonzalo,

welcome, I'm a 50+ self employed German electronic engineer with far
too little time for squeak :-))

If you need an example of a traditional window gui look into
TestRunner>>openAsMorph, this (in 3.6) helped me.

For myself I usually don't bother to put a GUI into a window but you
easily can put this in a system window. The attached gif shows a
sample of the attached class. A Sofm is (in this case) a rectangular
(here I  think 12x12) neural network. The activation of an output is
shown as a shade of blue, the rectangles are arranged according to
their coordinates in the network.

So I see how the Input sentence of the second line 'ZD(15V)...'
excites the network.

The buttons "Vorheriges" and "Nächstes" select the previous or next
sentence, and the "Trainiere.." buttons train the network. "Verlassen"
exits the GUI.

What have I done?.
Start browsing with buildGui.
Please note, a TableLayout in spite of its name is a layout of rows or
columns, depending on #listDirection.

#buildHeadline puts a simple TextMorph on the top, use addMorphBack to
get the expected sequence.

#buildCurrentComment does just the same, text is changed with
#updateCurrentComment, contents: takes a String as the argument.

#buildRows just builds the array of morphs, which are coloured in
updateOutputMorphs.

#buildButtons builds two rows of buttons linking into the data model.

This is just a crude example. You may want to put LineMorphs on your
display to plot your fitness over the generations.

Also get the PluggableMorphsDemo.pr (I think from the swiki, just
google) to get an understanding how to link a UI to a data model.

Hope it helps, your request is a bit unspecific. No criticism, you
just don't yet know what to ask, I know that feeling :-))

To keep my perspective I still work in assembler sometimes :-))

Hi Gonzalo,

If you need to show evolving behavior of multiple things on Squeak, may
be you can consider using Kedama. Of course you will need to rewrite
some things of your genetic algorithm to use the Kedama objects.

Cheers,

Offray

We have a local spanish community wiki with information related to
Squeak, may be you can take a look at
