Me too. Needs a dialog where you can change and test.

maybe, but rebcobe binding bug is still not fixed :(((
  rambo says it is.

Ok, you View gurus ... text flow in an area field is handled at the 
View level ?

So, what's the difficulty in using a non rectangular field to flow 
text ?

AFAIK yes. If you mean wrap

yes, I mean wrap.

I don't recall seeing any examples where images are mixed with text, 
and where the text can wrap around the image

It's just a calculation, right?

Yes.

Which you can do yourself, and use multiple faces or draw.

Yes, can do oneself .. or ask for more basic support, or a new widget 
that supports this.

:)

scrolling an image requires changing the offsets in a pane

scrolling text, the pane stays where it is, and the text offset is 
changed

so, I guess if you have mixture of text and graphics, you have to 
scroll the pane?

Yes.

Or, I guess you could put the image in draw and scroll there.

what do you mean ?

AFAIK you can put an image in draw and scale and such things. translation 
and scrolling is the same.

Say, you wanted to edit in situ text that was running along a curve, 
spline.

you would have to detect your mouse click was touching the text somehow 
( so add a feel to the text ) ...and then calculate where it was 
along the text

Hmm. That you need offset-to-caret for such text. I guess we have 
only for normal one, not for agg?

where's the agg docs ?

Build page update with infos on last release http://www.rebol.net/builds/

and this "This is being done in preparation for the dialected rich-text 
improvements"

yeah ;-)

So we dont get a plugin, isntead write our own browser? :))

Why a browser? getting rich-text is not everything you know :-) Who 
would write parsers for all that web "standards" out there, plus 
support for various browser quirk modes? And what would you do about 
java-script? Are we going to reimplement javascript in rebol too? 
:-)

I totally forgot *you* are here :) Yes, i was joking :))

A simple REBOL-based WYSIWYG word processor is possible though. I've 
often contemplated doing one that was CSS2 / XHTML based so you can 
seperate style from content (and get an HTML editor to boot). Should 
be possible,and fast, once REBOL has rich text support.

And it will make my MDP viewer much simpler and faster.

ICarii, are you planning on adding controls to your calendar ?

yup

first ill implement clickable days and month paging

sick days ?

you can add those via the day-events :P

Allen has a nice calendar though he hasn't updated it for a while.

cool :)  I just wanted to make something in agg :)

I think he has year views etc.

nice

What's happened to flounder ?

i ended up too busy to devote much time to it :(

doing 70+ hour weeks since then

Do you know if AGG supports not rectangular view ports ?

our version doesnt

Nor apparently does the original.

are there plans to prettify DROP-DOWN and SCROLLER?

I thought of this little idea regarding the editor: Currently, it's 
depending on running a script from file, if you want to test something. 
But I was wondering if it were possible to edit data directly with 
it and just store it in memory?


Sometimes I like to debug a function without having to save it to 
a file and then run a program stored in a different file to run the 
test, e.g. Ctrl-E is useless.


It would be nice to directly in the editor, create a big function, 
say from a paste and do a few edits, press Ctrl-<something> and have 
that evaluated directly. Then you could quit the editor and use the 
function directly in the console without having to save any files.


Also if you want to re-edit the function, type in something similar 
to:


editor 'my-big-function and the editor would pop up with the function 
source and the word its bound to.

why not using a scratch-file?
