Re: can we include this in NewInspector ?? (WAS) Fwd: [ANN] MagmaBrowser

Cool :) 

It is added in the last version. Thank you for your participation at NewInspector !

I think the best way to preview a form is to show it in the right side of the NewInspector in place of the description panel, but it is a really big challenge: NewInspector is unaware about the composants of the frame (everything is done by model). I must found a way to achieve this :)

Hi Frederic.  Henrik Sperre Johansen  created this method:

                           (SystemWindow labelled: 'Form preview')
                               addMorph: (ImageMorph new image: aForm) fullFrame: aFrame;

       yourself



It let you see the image of something. Example, inspect a form ( ThemeIcons infoIcon ), right-click the Form
node, and select preview.

In addition, he told me this:

"For inclusion in the NewInspector package on SqueakSource, I would at least change the magic number 267 first, to one computed based on the width of the Window label, 267 is merely what is needed to display it fully with the standard window font in PharoDev :)
Feel free to do so, and ask Frederique Pluquet to to include it there."

So....can you take care of this and include it ? would be very useful!!!

Thank you very much.

Mariano

For a proof of concept of what is possible using the NewInspector,
install this method:

Form>>asNINode
    ^ (super asNINode)
        addAction:
                (NIAction labeled: 'Preview'
                        shortcut: $p
                        target:
                            [ :aForm |

                            aForm depth < 32 ifTrue: [ Display
getCanvas image: aForm at: 10 @ 10 ]
                                ifFalse: [ Display getCanvas
translucentImage: aForm at: 10 @ 10 ] ]

                        actionSelector: #value:
                        withArgs: {self}
                        category: 'Preview');
        yourself

 then inspect a form (Say, ThemeIcons infoIcons ), right-click the Form
node, and select preview.

Ideally it'd be nice to add an extra "Preview" item to the subnodes of
Forms in the NI, which when clicked would show the form on the right
side, but I don't (easily) see how you can temporarily replace the
TextMorph on the right side with something capable of displaying Forms

With some more work on the closure it should be possible to open the
preview in a separate window though :)

Cheers,
Henry

Yes ! I find a way to view the form in place of the description pane ! Finally it was not so hard :) Check the last version of NewInspector and inspect for example "Form allInstances".

In the same time, I personalized also the color instances :)  For example, inspect : "Color allInstances first: 1000"

To Pharo developers: if you want to see anything in place of the description pane, please write a descriptionChildrenSpecBlock (see classes Color and Form for more explanations) and submit it to me.

Yes, that was my first thought too, as I told Mariano in a private mail.
Sadly, setting the description to be a Form didn't work as well as I had hoped ...

So this was the result of the "what can I come up with in 20 mins?" approach :)
Probably should be written with a PluggableImageSpec/Morph (which don't exist yet) either way if you're using ToolBuilder for the cross-ui implementation potential.

Cheers,
Henry

I like when we can get the butter and the money for the butter :)
Indeed like that this is really cool.
Did you try to see if you could display any morph like that? ( I mean as icon).

Icons for Morph instances : Done :) Moreover I put the image of the morph in the description pane (see the screenshot) ! :)

Other things Stef ? :)

This is cool definitively cool.
Are the morphs living? :)
can I interact with them?
I guess not because it would mean that you have either to copy them (bad idea).
So I was dreaming :)
