Obliged for feedback ...
For details and links..
Sharing this little framework that should go some way to ease creating
large applications ( currently morphic oriented).
AbstractMorphicView subclass: #MyNewView …
#createMorphsSpecs
^{
‘panel1′ -> #SomeOtherView.
‘label1′ -> #LabelMorph.
‘text1′ -> #PluggableTextMorph.
‘button1′ -> #PluggableButtonMorph.
}
layoutSpecsArray
^{
‘widgetNameInMorphsDictionary’ -> {
#fractions -> (0 @ 0 corner: 1 @ 0.5). ” fractional value 0 to 1 range ”
#offsets -> (10 @ 10 corner: 0 @ 0). ” offsets relative to the fractional
position ”
}.
“… add other widgetspecs…”
}
Thats it.. you should have a prototype UI neatly laid out.. and then
specify: #morphsPrimaryPropertiesSpecs and #morphsSecondaryPropertiesSpecs
for full functionality that composes views inside views and scales well.
AbstractSimpleMorphicView can make it simpler for TableLayout stuff without
requiring #layoutSpecsArray.
..... the main post has other details and links to package...
