[squeak-dev] Morphic TableLayout

I think I understand how to use TableLayout to layout morphs in a single row or
column.  How can I tell it to start a new row or column?

afaik the table layout is a either row or column layout.

It' too long since I delved into it and I've abandoned that project.
IIRC I decided I'd have to use rows of columns or columns of rows by
nesting.

In recent times there were posts about spreadsheet projects in Squeak,
you might want to look there.

Hello Mark,

to confirm my previous post:

Having remembered ChessMorph, you can do
#listDirection: #leftToRight
#wrapDirection #bottomToTop.
but that depends on wrapping.

Remembering another place where I needed a table I used a TableLayout
with #listDirection: #topToBottom to put in my own RowMorph's with
their own TableLayouts for the columns.

Which is not flexible if you want column oriented and row oriented
access.

So if you build such a beast please tell us!

You can't, it's just flowing and automagick.

Mark,

You can try GridLayout (on SqueakMap) if you want to specify a
particular number of rows or columns.  It worked for me in Trike v1 (the
application I wrote it for) but it may have some eccentricities/buggy
behavior depending on what combinations of layout properties you use.
Also, it has some performance problems, especially with large numbers of
submorphs, which I think could be solved by more aggressive caching.

Feel free to send me bug reports and/or patches. :)  I won't make
guarantees, but I was looking at the performance problems just a couple
of weeks ago before I had to debug something else & I expect to pop
stack next weekish.
