In my spare time I decided to rite a simple paint program! I have encountered some problems:
#1 does paint stuff work in the BorderedMorph category? #2 how would you make the program draw where your mouse pointer is? I think you do it like: myPen goto: 200@200. but more like: myPen goto: mouseX@mouseY I hope you understand what I am trying to do. Thanks so much in advance

If you mean paint as in the PaintTool, then no. Painting is for sketches while BorderedMorph is a patch of single color (or gradient of two colors) with a border. You can change the color of a bordered morph with: myMorph color: Color blue. > #2 how would you make the program draw where your mouse pointer is?

This can be tricky to program. If you don't have a stop condition, myPen will keep following the mouse all the time and that can be really annoying :-(. HTH ..

With a Pen you paint on a Form (which is an picture object holding pixels). To display a Form in Morphic you can use an ImageMorph. > #2 how would you make the program draw where your mouse pointer is? I think > you do it like: > myPen goto: 200@200. but more like: myPen goto: mouseX@mouseY Your morph can receive mouse events. You need to implement the handlesMouseDown: method to return true. This will send mouse event messages to your morph. It will receive a mouseDown: message when the mouse button is pressed, and a mouseMove: message when the mouse is moved subsequently, and finally a mouseUp: message. The argument to these messages is a MouseEvent. It has a position, but that is in world coordinates. You need to subtract the morph's topLeft coordinate from the event's position. It's really just a handful of lines, but see the attached example for a working version. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners BertsPaintMorph.st (1K) Download Attachment |

Use position: method for morphs: myMorph position: ActiveHand position. John's article is about 38 pages and so fascinating that you may want to print it and read it leisurely. HTH ..

Well, on my system, I just drag the email attachment into the Squeak window. Squeak will ask what to do with it, I choose "fileIn entire file". Given that your email client even has trouble quoting correctly, you may have to save the attachment to a file first. If drag-and-drop of the file should not work, then open a File List tool in Squeak and navigate to the file. To create the file out I right-clicked on the class and chose "file out". A better way is using a ChangeSorter (google for "squeak changesorter"). The professional way for Squeak source code management is using Monticello, but you can learn that later. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |
