The Inbox: MorphicExtras-ms.254.mcz

commits-2
A new version of MorphicExtras was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/MorphicExtras-ms.254.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: MorphicExtras-ms.254
Author: ms
Time: 22 March 2019, 1:48:31.043664 pm
UUID: d7b3adea-c5be-47f1-8247-7c5ae1ad7f34
Ancestors: MorphicExtras-kfr.253

Adds a preview morph for results of all BitBlt rules.

When first using BitBlt, it wasn't easy to understand the effects of the possible rules on pixel combinating for me.
I implemented two example methods which preview the effects of rule 0 to 41 (these are all, I believe) on quadratic existing forms with colors and 1 bit alpha channel (previewAllBitBltRules uses ToolIcons flag/collection) plus Forms with more alpha values (previewAllBitBltRulesWithAlpha uses ToolIcons flag and a Color red + 0.4 alpha preview). They generate a combined morph for all rules applied on these forms (scaled, because icons are small) and opens it in your hand.
Internally, this morph can be generated for any rule, forms and scale. Rules which throw exceptions are replaced with a fallback form.

Now in the correct package (see http://forum.world.st/The-Inbox-Graphics-ms-407-mcz-td5097206.html ).
Thank you for your feedback!

The result of

      BitBlt previewAllBitBltRules

looks fine so far (see attachment).

However the questions is if other example forms than

     ToolIcons flag

and
     ToolIcons collection

could be chosen which show more clearly what is going on.
I remember that the blue book has a diagram about this.

--Hannes


the code

BitBlt class>>
previewAllBitBltRules

        (self previewBitBltRules: (0 to: 41)
                on: ToolIcons flag
                and: ToolIcons collection
                fallback: ToolIcons exception
                scaledTo: 64) openInHand.
