Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc/Brick/Spec

[Glenn Cavarlé]

Hi Marc,

It would be so cool but no, it's not planned.
Like SDL and Morphic, Gtk is only used as a backend for windowing. This
means that only primitives related to windowing are currently implemented
(i.e GtkWindow related apis).

Working on widget binding with Gtk or Qt is something i would like to start,
maybe next year but it is quite hard/long to do well. 
The Mars framework built by Esteban was a really good starting point but it
is not maintained.

Thanks for your interest,

Cheers,
Glenn.

Hi Glenn,

does this mean, that in the future we can build GTK applications via
Bloc/Brick/Spec?

Best regards,
Marc

Hi all,
As well described by Peter,  Bloc is a low level graphics library which
mainly manages multi-windowing (Morphic, SDL, Gtk soon), user interaction
(events) and drawing (using Sparta). 
Brick is a widget framework on top of Bloc (button, inputField, ...) and
Spec is a "multi-backend" UI Builder.

I know that the installation of Bloc can be confusing because of the
multiple possibilities.
For more information, Metacello and Zeroconf scripts are described here :
https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Bloc/blob/master/INSTALL.md.

Cheers,

Glenn.

What does 'Bloc Zeroconf Script' do?

What is the difference between the 4 different metacello lines here?

[Peter Uhnak]

* Bloc - low level library (think basic shapes, rectangles, ...)
* Brick - widget library on top of Bloc akin to the widget part of Morphic 
(buttons, checkboxes, ...)
* Spec - UI framework with adaptable backend; currently using Morphic as a 
backend, however once Bloc/Brick matures, Bloc/Brick will be added as another 
backend (without affecting Spec users)

(and below Bloc is Sparta, which is a vector canvas)

[Brad Selfridge]

I'm confused. I see the latest news and documentation about Bloc. Is Brick
now dead and Bloc the default? I thought Brick was a layer on top of Bloc
and Spec was layer on top on Brick? What is the direction now?
