new in Glamour: composite presentation as entry point

Hi,

A short while ago I upgraded the CompositePresentation to be able to use it as an entry point to a Glamour script.

The idea here is that we can now use Glamour like we use Mondrian: we instantiate the GLMCompositePresentation once and then we always pass it to other methods.

For example:

buildBrowser
        | browser |
        browser := GLMTabulator new.
        browser ...

==>

buildIn: composer
        composer tabulator with: [:t |
                t ...
        ]

The old way still works, of course. The nice thing about this solution is that it works better with the editor (you are given the composer).

For a live example, see:

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Doru

"composer" is a very generic term. Wouldn't "browser" be a better variable name?

Cheers,

I am not quite satisfied with the name, but "browser" because it is not a browser. It is a composite presentation. So, for someone knowing a bit the internals of Glamour it would be confusing.

I was actually thinking of renaming the GLMCompositePresenatation to GLMComposer. Or does anyone else have other ideas?

Cheers,
Doru

If you can't say why something is relevant,
it probably isn't.
