hum, looking at the date besides your slim install... its a very 
old version!  I guess you had tried it out a few years back and still 
use the same rebol install or user.


just delete the slim.r file and the demo script will download it 
for you again.

Maxim, I thought perhaps I had the same problem and now it works. 
Very nice.

thanks, happy it works  :-)

Ryan, not clear yet on what this does.

Is to populate a Rebol form based upon saved data?

Yes, and the reverse.

Or, just to capture the data from a form (window, panel, etc) so 
it can be worked with easier.

Ok.

Its get-face / put-face on steriods.

No form validation ?

lol, no. thats a different animal.

It is one I want to tackle though. form validation is a big problem 
too.

I did some validation on forms which I posted.

productivity wise, that is.

but this was validation by type only.

I was able to use the same code to grab the data from forms, validate 
it, and then repopulate the forms

Good methodolgy. just needs formatting ability.

Did you run the earlier version released before today ? You could 
delete the old workstate file.

which in your case should be in the same directory, named %bubble-workstate.r

yes, it works now

nice

just an idea - you may add one-way lines

You can double-click the line ends to toggle three arrowhead states: 
 arrowhead (default), fins (not sure the exact word), and off.

Oh, I see, great :)

The user interface with lines does not work perfectly, you probably 
will have to fiddle with it sometimes.

Nice Anton!

Thanks, Gregg. :)

Ive been wanting something like this! thanks Anton.

Sorry folks I keep adding my responses in the announce group...where's 
that delete button? :  )

send it to feedback ;)

Synapse chat allows you do edit your posts :)

Ryan, cool !  If you have any ideas for the design then feel free 
to suggest them, as the design is not fixed at the moment. Also, 
if there are styles that you feel the need for then suggest them 
and I'll add it to the todo list for consideration.

differrent colors for the bubbles is something I hacked in right 
away. It would be nice to change those on the fly

Yes, that's planned.

Max it would be good to see other color schemes in your demos.

hum, like a pane which shows other colors?  what color schemes would 
you want?

brighter coloured backgrounds, or bitmap backdrops.

Maxim ... very slick. .....   p.s. when I move the main pane, the 
menus in the demo keep their same origin so launch where they originally 
origined instead of dropping down from the new menu location.

hum, strange bug. This only happens if you move the main pane while 
the menus are active, it seems....  once the menu is closed, if you 
move the main window, by any amount, the offset is repaired...


Fixed!  Thanks for the bug report.  will be part of next minor release. 
  :-)

Anton, just playing with your Bubble-doc.  Was wondering if you were 
planning a more general line-segment tool that allows multiple lines 
to be drawn in sequence, single click starts a new segment of the 
line, double click ends segment.  Also a box tool that allows a user 
selectable flood fill.

Very nice work so far.

oh, and of course user selectable bubble colours.

Brock, yes, however it will be a while before I will have time to 
work on it.

regraph: Nice stuff Maxim ;) That's what always came to my mind when 
someone complained DRAW shapes cannot be 'controlled'.

hehe, but do you know how complex the solution is?

liquid makes the real time management of this easier, because of 
all of the implicit processing going on.. but the actual technology 
behind it is quite sneaky  ;-)

I'm actually drawing TWO canvases.

which are always in sync
