Re: [Newbies] Subclassing PasteUpMorph

A morph is a morph, of course, of course
Unless the morph is an Etoys morph

Got it. Thanks!

You could use

circle x: 0 y: 0.

The originAtCenter flag only affects the PasteUpMorph’s cartesianOrigin which 
is used by Etoys (via the x/y methods) and puts the origin at either its 
lowerLeft corner or its center, just as in Math (and unlike Squeak).

That said, Morphic currently does not use a fully transform-based graphics 
engine. You cannot easily transform the coordinate system for submorphs. Etoys 
gets around this by applying the origin offset in its x/y accessors (which also 
flip the y direction from downwards to upwards).

[Newbies] Subclassing PasteUpMorph

[Michael Rice]

I'm experimenting with subclassing PasteUpMorph to get some additional
behavior. One thing I want to do is have my subclass open with a
CircleMorph at 0@0. I already get that behavior, the CircleMorph in the
upper left corner, but want my subclass' origin to be at its center, and
the CircleMorph drawn there. My current initialize method,

initialize
""

super initialize.
self originAtCenter; addMorph: ((CircleMorph new) color: Color white)
centeredNear: 0@0.

still places it in the upper left corner.

How do I get the origin, 0@0, at the center?

My only other method, so far, sets my subclass default bounds.

defaultBounds
"answer the default bounds for the receiver"
^ 0 @ 0 corner: 400 @ 400
