World: r3wp

btw my friend Bobik informs me, that he tried with 1.2.48 and it 
does not work too ... maybe you meant some 1.3 View branch, when 
1.3 project was started ....

Yes it is true

Well, since RT is the only agency that can make changes, I would 
have asked .. "Did RT make any changes in the focus system for 1.3" 
and I would have said, yes :)

Graham - is it? :-) I thought they have their "co-operators" from 
community now, no? Gabriele taking care of some bits of networking/LNS, 
Cyphre AGG stuff, Gregg something else and IIRC it was Romano who 
did some changes to VID focusing, no? So that is why I asked "anyone" 
instead of RT ... :-)

... and I don't expect Carl (RT) to check every bit of changes, as 
he imo expects us to do testing and post reports :-) Anyway - bug 
is submitted, let's hope it will get corrected ...

View1240031.exe prevents the parent window from coming to the front.

I can test it on others ... but I did this all before.

ok, thanks ... that is a good info ...

In the old code, you can see things like, "Jeff, why did you do this 
for?" but I suspect that everything is now checked by Carl very closely.

yes? heh, I wonder if Rebol does have some easter eggs :-)

As a side-note, requesters in Canvas are using INFORM, thus are modal.

Anyone have an idea of how hard it would be to mockup similar dashboards 
to these ones ?

http://www.ve.com/kavachart/prod_va_demos.html

not particularly hard, I think...

You're on Henrik.  Then we can post them to the wikibook as view 
examples :)

woah, did I say that? :-) meanwhile I do have a different example 
that could be useful: http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/clock.zip

So retro!

I have to step back across the room to read the clock :)

I wonder what the implementation approach to the patient management 
dashboard would be.

create some type of self graphing widget perhaps

a face with a rate that grabs some data from an array

I don't think they're intended to be in real time.

Just more to provide a snapshot over time.

still, wouldn't it be a good approach? the rate could be once per 
hour, plus on demand updating

this way, if you really want realtime, it's a matter of adjusting 
the rate

I suspect it is unnecessary for the task at hand, and would complicate 
the task somewhat.

still, it would be a good demo :)

I'd love to see a demo of an overview of graphs updated in realtime 
from any source. any.

of any graph in any language or just Rebol?

well for starters Rebol, but what if you could mix data like that 
and then just display it, no matter if it's CVS, rebol blocks or 
something measured off the serial port from a physical device.

sounds like you want to make a rebol oscilloscope

Is the stock-market data available somewhere online?

actually I think the hardest part would be to display a pretty graph 
:-) retrieving data could be done from within the graph face

I don't know about raw stock data...

Temperature data is also good for that.

stock market data is available from yahoo I believe, but delayed 
by 15 mins or something

graham: an oscilloscope could be a bit too intensive :-)

Or sea-level (changes with tide and weather).

or Canvas release rates

Wind direction.

lol

release rates contra size in kB

I guess I'd better find some docs on the draw dialect and see how 
easily this could be done.

It could be nice to have general graphing tools for Rebol like RRDTool 
which is a very powerful (but complex) graphing package for Linux

A start:

view layout [box white effect [draw [pen black line 0x100 10x80 20x85 
30x50 40x60 50x65 60x55 70x40 80x50 90x20]]]

or gnuplot

To change data, you could do:
clear next find face/effect/draw 'line
append face/effect/draw data-block

show face

what about scatter plots ?

would be as easy to update ?
