HI Alexandre, what is the current status of Mondrian on Squeak? I've always been intrigued by Mondrian, what would be the best approach for getting it going on Squeak?
I am mostly interested using Mondrians rendering and input-event handling inside my own widgets, not OB or other windowing tools. How hard would it be to extricate just the Form-drawing and input-capability of the Mondrian core from the OB window widgetry that seems to be included in the package (at least, the last time I looked)? - Chris On Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 3:15 PM, Alexandre Bergel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Just to give some news about Mondrian.
