Inspector Custom Value Panes & Related

Hi Karl.

We might want to merge the behavior of those:

PluggableCheckBoxMorph

ThreePhaseButtonMorph class >> #checkBox

Hi,

I tested using PluggableCheckBoxMorph but that widget is unwieldy.

I'm not sure how to add a label to it.

The widget seem to expect the model eg. FontChooserTool to perform the label ?

PluggableCheckBoxMorph>>on: anObject getState: getStateSel action: actionSel label: labelSel menu: menuSel
...
self label: (self model perform: labelSel).

I'm not sure how that is supposed to work...

There is no other use of the widget in the image I can look at either.

Best,

Karl

Great ideas! I never get the right handle on the first try, merging them sounds very reasonable. :-)

Hm ... doesn't the existence of such an "Apply" button impede Morphic's liveness? Why not just apply all changes as soon as a font/style has been selected? You could replace the buttons by a checkbox "selection only".

Hi Karl,

I'm sorry your proposal is lost a bit - I think it's a nice addition! It does not look exactly like the TextMorph dialog, but I actually prefer "one dialog that fits it all" over the three separate handles for a TextMorph (that do not even all appear to work properly at the moment.) I think we should get this merged! :-)

My change just adds handle support to the already existing  StringMorph>>changeFont

The three TextMorph handles are not optimal and could be refactored into one handle.

I made another change  to FontChooserTool where I added a button to apply text changes to the partition of text selected or a bulk change to all text in the pane. With this change I also enabled the emphasis pane to FontChooserTool.  

Best,

Karl

Here is a change set that adds HaloHandle for font change to StringMorph

Unfortunately, the current inspector framework has no such extension point. You can, however, prepare a custom inspector for your domain objects. See MorphInspector as an example.

Hi all,

What is the proper way to make a "custom value pane" for my objects whenever they appear inside an Inspector? For my RISCV work, I'm looking to show a morphic representation of the bitfields when a given instruction's `self` property is highlighted in the Inspector window.

As a related question, what's the best way to make a composed Morph that has StringMorphs of different fonts, sizes, and alignments? It seems like not all Fonts are available to StringMorph (TrueType ones, for example) -- is that correct?

Thanks!
