[piccolo2d-dev] Re: HTMLNode

[Samuel Robert Reid]

Something that's been bothersome with the proposed implementation of HTMLNode is the difference in setters between HTMLNode and PText (such as setting the text color); it would be nice if their interfaces were similar enough that it's easy to switch back and forth without having to change calls to setters, etc.  Also, we should consider whether there is a reasonable name that fits better alongside PText, PImage, etc. (though PHTML sounds awkward).  Also, what about putting this in piccolo core?

Font, HTML, and HTMLColor should all be bound properties; in other words, they should fire property change events. michael On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 7:20 PM, Samuel Robert Reid<re...@colorado.edu> wrote: I agree this should become part of the extras package; it's indispensable to my team's projects.  Regarding the performance, it is orders of magnitude slower than using a PText, so in some situations where I would have preferred HTMLNodes, I've made due with PTexts instead (where there are many onscreen simultaneously and when smooth performance is essential).

For rendering styled text, it's far better (or at least simpler) then trying to hack something together with PStyledText and it's very fast since the guys at sun seem to have optimized the heck out of the HTMLView stuff. (I'll attest to having over a thousand HTML nodes on screen without even a hiccup).
