Moz2D is one of the backends of Sparta, the canvas behind Bloc. The repository is here:
It comes as a VM plugin. When you load Bloc and Sparta, the loading process automatically also downloads the plugin and installs it in the VM. On Linux, this only works for Pharo 64bit installations.
So, all you would need to do is to take a fresh Pharo 64 image + vm and then load:

I hope to see how this could be integrated in Grafoscopio once Documenter is better integrated with Pharo, for example addressing the font issues already reported in the mailing list on Manjaro Linux (64 bits) and in the thread at [1] and also the Markdown integration possibilities (which are never answered).

Once examples exist, they can be quickly put together in a document to form documentation. For example, the linked picture shows the comment of a class containing a visual explanation:

>>>>>>> Documenter offers a new experience of writing tutorials for Pharo by enabling the creation and embedding of Epicea change sessions directly in the document. For example, take a look at the following animation:
>>>>>>>
https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/999975333972541440>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> The document shows a method on top, and a change preview at the bottom showing both the code and the associated diff to the state from the image. Applying the change updates both the change view (no more diff), and method preview. This speeds up significantly the process of going through a tutorial. Furthermore, given that now the document shows the diff to the current image, the reader can safely explore alternative scenario and come back to the tutorial at any time without losing the overview.
