Hi Chris,
The core of Mondrian has no relationship with OB.
The rendering of Mondrian only depends on Canvas. By default, when you
say "view open" a window with a canvas is created and the canvas is
passed to Mondrian.
Cheers,
Doru

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)?

Hi All,
Just to give some news about Mondrian. Together with colleagues
from Bern,
Lille and Santiago, I have been working on this visualization
engine for
quite some times. Although it contains some important bugs (e.g.,
popupView)
it is fairly stable and usable. The current version is 2.0-beta.7.
Mondrian is slowly maturing. A short summary of the discussion I
had with
Doru and Stéphane today.
Some of the features I would like to see in for Version 3.0 are:
- scalable spring layout (also known as force based layout): this
is a very
simple and nice layout that produces amazing results
- add layers: embedding a rendering or a part of it in a layer.
Layers
could then be iteratively activated and desactivared. The idea is
to enable
the construction of scripts in a very iterative and incremental way.
- having a small core embeddable in your application
- making Mondrian load graphiz scripts
- having a better help system (à la ProfStef)
- dedicated chapter for Pharo By Example Volume 2
- exporting as PDF
- anti-aliasing
This probably will not happen today or tomorrow, but I just feel
necessary
to share this roadmap with you. Some other features are wanted.
Using Rome
is one. Open GL is another. There are plenty of rooms for a very cool
visualization engine.
Probably during the holiday period I will consolidate the current
version by
fixing remaining bugs and produce 2.0.
