The size of the image is secondary. The size that matters is the peak size the application requires as it runs. With graphic intensive things you can hit the ceiling by requiring too much memory for just the intermediate forms. The other showstoppers for me are trying to use the halos in ways I "know" work and running into the fact they haven't been implemented for your morphs. And drag and drop doesn't work. So I can't figure out how to embed one morph in another. You are familiar with what you wrote in a way that I am not. I am more or less poking at things from the outside. And I lose interest after about finding 5-9 (seven plus or minus two) things that don't work. Then its a matter of waiting until you make progress. I know you are serious about this. So I would encourage you to get an official enough status for this that we can have a catagory for it on mantis**. The I can turn may annoyances with the way things work into bug reports. Which will help ratchet progress and may even help document the ideas and issues we come across as you develop your baby. > > I also think it would be the right way to > > incrementally develop morphic 3.0. > > > > > Stef also asked me that.

I need to understand where other are and wish to go inorder to provide a path they wish to follow. There has to be something they want in what we do inorder for them to participate. This does not have to be important to us as we experiment. What I want is the learning that comes from the task. I would like to see my better ideas widely distributed because that will be more useful and generate more and better feedback as well as dividends. > I do what I do because it is what I > need.

I am not too interested in diving into your separate morphic 3.0 code. If you get a catagory for Morphic 3.0 set up on Mantis I will write bug reports as I come across them. I very much recommend this approach. I am entertaining my curiosity by coding the place/morph layers concept in the current development stream of squeak. I am going to do what is practical to do but I am keeping in mind your concept of each morph having its own coord system. So if you look over my work and I yours we should benifit from each others insights. Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace -------- **This should probably be a catgory under the squeak project rather than its own separate project. That is due to limitations of mantis in dealling amoung projects.

What I was saying is that if you want that other people give a try and at the end helps you need to offer them a way to work on their image and to be able to run side by side Morphic3 and Morphic. >> I do what I do because it is what I >> need.

Hi Jerome,
I apologize for the delay. My second daugher, Diana was born on 6/28, and I'm slowly coming back. Jerome Peace escribió: > The size of the image is secondary.

I should study Form allocation, to see if there's something to optimize, though. > The other showstoppers for me are trying to use the > halos in ways I "know" work and running into the fact > they haven't been implemented for your morphs. > > And drag and drop doesn't work.

I also removed a lot of methods, and modified their senders. As new Morphs live in an old World, to avoid needing methods in Morph that I didn't want, I removed their senders.
