Re: [dash-dev] Hi All

Thanks Ward... I actually have got some things working with EMF. I hope to write a CASCON paper for IBM on my experiences with this.

As for GEF, I have been writing JFace like widgets using GEF. Each widget has content and label providers and extend Structured Viewer. This way, if you want a graph but you are not a graph programmer, you can use these. I also supply layout algorithms, selection listeners, filters, etc... I am working both a flat and nested graph widget. I have also being wrapping BIRT views in the JFace style. This means you can use a birt chart wherever you have a structured viewer.

The reason I am mentioning this is because I am also working on a DOM for each widget (Same way you would write a DOM for a table / tree viewer). I am using Monkey to interact with these DOM and display charts, tables, graphs, etc... If you would like I could setup a website with some of these DOMs and how we can go about interacting with them using Monkey.

Cheers,
Ian

Ian -- Bjorn and I have been looking to mashup some Callisto projects with Eclipse Monkey and got to thinking about visualization.

Yesterday we wrote a script that moved a GEF shape around. I know this is way simple, but it was surprisingly satisfying to pound the ctrl-alt-Monkey key and see that little shape jump.

We also appreciate that 3.2 lets one see multiple editors at once. All the better for watching Eclipse watch us. We've shown that we can script listeners and now wonder if that is an avenue that we should explore.

I wonder if you've had any luck with EMF Doms? Perhaps we can help each other. Best regards. -- Ward

Hi everyone! :)

Just getting started with Monkey (I am doing a lot of EMF and visualization research) and I hope to write some EMF Doms. I have a question and an observation.

1) Is here a mailing list / newsgroup for dash users? Questions about writing doms / scripts?
2) This mailing list was hard to find.  The list is not listed on [1].

Thanks guys,
