MaskedForm ?
by Lex Spoon 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

I tweaked the comment in Form, and noticed a reference to MaskedForm. What is this? It seems to be gone at this point. DisplayObject has no subclass that looks like a masked form, and searching for "mask" only turns up CursorWithMask. What should the comment of BitBlt say, instead of referring to this non-existing class? The part of BitBlt that is in question is: "Colors can be remapped at the same depth. Sometimes a Form is in terms of colors that are not the standard colors for this depth, for example in a GIF file. Convert the Form to a MaskedForm and send colorMap: the list of colors that the picture is in terms of. MaskedForm will use the colorMap when copying to the display or another Form. (Note also that a Form can be copied to itself, and transformed in the process, if a non-nil colorMap is supplied.)" Lex

multiple text

Hi, Happy new year! I start to develop applications in Squeak, but I am not familar with its GUI. When I put more than one pluggableTextMorph in a window, how can I confirm these different ones. For example, there are a list and three texts: one for displaying the name of a selected one in the list, one for displaying the id when the button "ID" is pressed, and another for inputting. (1)How I define the second text:(When the button "ID" is not pressed, the second text is hoped to display nothing.) idText:= PluggableTextMorph on:self text:??? accept:nil readSelection:nil menu:nil. (2) How I record the value users input in the third text: inputText:= PluggableTextMorph on:self text:??? accept:??? readSelection:nil menu:nil. Additionally, if you have any projects or codes related to such situations, please send to me. Thanks! Regards, Lulu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Incorporating AccuFonts - remaining problems
by Doug Way 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

I'm working on incorporating the AccuFonts into 3.7, and I've cleaned up some problems, but a couple of problems remain. Here's what I fixed in this latest version (AccuFonts.4.sar, attached) : - Some of the default font sizes (text, code, etoys, flaps) got changed, I've reset them to the original sizes. - Removed SystemWindowIcons-nk.cs from the .sar install... it's no longer needed. - I decided to not include the dingbats fonts. They clutter up the 'system fonts...' menu by appearing as jibberish, which is annoying. Also, I'm not sure we really want such obviously Apple-related dingbats in the image such as the Apple logo, compact Mac, etc., even if they were "cleanly" generated. - I added the acknowledgement from the AccuFonts license (the contact info for Doug Easterbrook) to the StrikeFont class comment. The license specifies that the acknowledgement appear somewhere, and that seemed like as good a place as any. (Alternatively, it could go in the Welcome window, but I don't think it needs to be quite that visible.) These are the remaining issues (just 2!) : - Some character widths are much different than the old fonts. For example, the period character width for Accuny10 (the default text font) is 6 pixels, whereas it used to be 4 pixels. This looks pretty bad IMHO; 6 pixels looks way too wide for the period character in a variable-width font of this size. Also, the comma, colon and some other punctuation marks have different widths. Is there a StrikeFont editor in which this could be easily tweaked? - Is there an easy way include the .sf2 font files in the update stream? In theory I could encode them into methods, but that's kind of a pain. Should I just wait until 3.7gamma and incorporate them into the gamma image and not bother with the update stream? 3.7 goes gamma in March. (Beta in February.) Anyway, note that the main reason for incorporating these is to allow possible cleanup of the Squeak-L license. The "NewYork" strike font is removed, which is the Apple font referred to in the license. The extra bitmap fonts included in the package are a nice bonus, but they're nothing spectacular... it would still be good to incorporate some good free truetype fonts such as Bitstream Vera into Squeak. (Which I could probably work on next.) Also note that SystemWindow titlebar font looks different because there is no exact equivalent to the old NewYork15 font anymore... but it's reasonable. The text/list font looks pretty much just like the old one. (Actually, Accuny 10 point is equivalent to the old NewYork 12 point for some reason.) My latest AccuFonts.4.sar is attached. - Doug
