A few Polymorph tweaks yet to come (AlphaImageMorph with scaling but
retained aspect ratio for one...)

I think it's encouraging that the OCR is not in Smalltalk. The fact that
Pharo can get between an OCR library and a VB app is a good sign. One could
write an OCR system in Smalltalk, but should not _need_ to do so :)

Thank you Gary,
no problem about the fact that OCR is not in ST; as I am working to some
projects myself, I know that the problem is to integrate the right tool.
Do you mind keeping me informed about the results you reach?
Grazie
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,
I can't say too much at present but is basically a commercial application
for a client for handling postal packages that slip through the rest of
their automated processes.
So, using a handheld scanner (like MBagger) it gets a scan of the address
label, OCRs it and extracts relevant information that can be passed on to
their existing (VB) application, along with, say weight from electronic
scales etc.
Currently we are trialling various 3rd party OCR engines: Abbyy, OmniPage
and Tesseract (open source).
Of course, I'm making it vastly configurable so there will many potential
uses...
Sorry if you were actually think that the OCR itself was done by us in
Smalltalk ;-)
Regards, Gary

Hi Gary,
I have seen from your screenshots that you are working on OCR projecr; can
you give my some information about it?
Thanks
Lorenzo

Hi all.
I've added an issue with some tweaks/improvements to a few Polymorph
classes.
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4590
Groupboxes can now have dynamic content (model/getContentSelector based).
Abaility to create icon lists via builder/TEasilyThemed.
Expander labels now LabelMorphs rather than TextMorphs (can therefore appear
as disabled)
IncrementalSliderMorphs now honour minWidth/minHeight in layouts
Panel morphs allow event based mouse over handling (call to super was
missing).
Label groups allow for nil labels (equates to empty string)
Regards, Gary
