Broken options: :left, :top, :resizable

[translunar]

It looks like the image method definition is trying to set the top and left positions of the Image object, but it doesn't actually appear to work. Is this normal?

I also can't get :resizable => false to work on the window method. I didn't try it on app.

Loving green_shoes so far. Trying to use it to build a GUI for rubyvis / sciruby.

Hi John,

Yeah, the image method with :left and :top attributes doesn't work well for now. This is a bug. But sorry, I've no good solution so far. So, please write the code like this:

require 'green_shoes'
Shoes.app do
 image('./something.png').move 100, 100
end

If you can use the latest Green Shoes on Github, you can also write like this:

require 'green_shoes'
Shoes.app do
 style Shoes::Image, nocontrol: true
 image './something.png', left: 100, top: 100
end

The :resizable attirbute is not supported in Green Shoes so far.

BTW, are you trying to use Green Shoes to build a GUI for rubyvis / sciruby? Awesome!! On GitHub? Please let me know!

Thanks. I was able to get it to work with move eventually.

And yes, I've been experimenting with using green shoes for a plotter GUI. You can find it in the gui branch of SciRuby/sciruby on github. (I have some more code I'll push today, most likely.)

FYI, though: I'm a terrible coder. Most likely someone else will come back and improve upon my ideas (clbustos has already threatened to), which is most of what I was hoping for. :)

Thanks again. John

Hi John,

Thank you for the fantastic suggestion. Try out sample56. ;-)

Oh, nice! I actually implemented something very similar, but which also accepts an RSVG::Handle, in case the image has already been read.

The code's pretty similar to yours.

You'll also notice code in there for code_box, which is like edit_box but for Gtk::SourceView and Gtk::SourceBuffer. (I was preparing to do a pull request, but wanted to test a bit more first.)

[translunar]

Okay. Instead of doing a pull request, I'd just suggest you look at the commits I made in my fork (except for adding the gemspec). I also added a trivial resize method to App, and an option to set :title on alerts.

Possibly code_box should be a plugin instead.

Hi John,

I've looked at your commits. The code_box, resize method and :title on alert are great ideas. Are they completed? If so, I'd like to merge your commits into my master repo. So, could you send me a pull request?
