World: r3wp

so it has to start on "G"?

gfx

but then gob! is maybe a better name, it just sounds kind of devilish 
to me :-)

Gabriele said: "i assume font object is referenced from the text 
block, so if you reference the same from many text blocks you are 
sharing it."


my question is - is current aproach replacement for classes which 
were proposed for R3 initially? - http://www.rebol.net/r3blogs/0035.html

VIS - view image structure , and the french word for face :)

So far proposed words:

gob! face! gfx! cell! atom! layer! vis! sprite! bob! blit!

well, I added few others :-)

well, if face is about to stay as highere level organisation of gobs, 
and we have facets, feels, what about eye? :-)

multiple eyes in your face :-)

ris .. raw image structure .. = laugh

rebol image structure

laugh? to laugh? maybe smile? but smile is already kind of multimedia 
W3C thingy - SMIL

i like gob for graphic-object.. has a nice simplicity about it.

well, we have amiga devices, many amigans would be familiar with 
sprite, and general publicity with layer, others are pretty much 
cryptic ....

sprite does not describe the gob usage

it would confuse people

but gob is not an object :-) Well, but I get your point. IMO Carl 
let us talk for a few moments and then we will realise that we stick 
to gob :-)

;-)

besides.. ive already started coding some stuff using make gob! :P

how can you, if you don't have R3 yet? :-)

VAIS - view atomic image structure

facs .. face c structures

face image c-structures  - fics

aww ..give up

im in the process of converting existing code based on the R3 presentation 
of Carl :)

just waiting on the richtext info really..

flounder?

yup

:)

altho i do have another inhouse editor ive made with agg/draw

i like GOB as well, I don't know what's the problem

ah.. now I see what does it mean in english:-) but I still like it

petr: gobs have nothing to do with classes.

names: remember it has to be very good for Carl to pick it up :-) 
that's why i said don't keep your hopes too high.

Gabriele - I know ... it is just that you referenced fonts. So gobs 
can share them.

weren't goblins some kind of small weird creatures? Or were it gremlins? 
:-)

i think goblins are bigger than gremlins... but it may depend on 
the author of the fantasy story ;)

both. Gremlins are the cuter ones (if defined by movies).

About gob, i imagine one speaks with customers about the gui and 
uses gob all the time. Sounds not that nice..

goblins are still much smaller than humans in most cases.

volker, isn't the name gremlin applied after the transformation, 
in the movie? so they are ugly too :)

and evil of course.

gremlins were funny, no evil :-) Gismo was the teddy bear :-)

Hmm, you may be right. But its still a cuter ugliness^^

i think the people in the movie would not agree with "funny", but 
maybe i don't remember the movie very well. it's been a long time 
;)

People who dont agree with "funny" are often funny to others^^

Volker... if you are talking, you can say "graphic object" instead 
of the shortcut GOB

Hmpf. Even when one is used to it? I think that happens just so.

But Carl knows English too, no? :-) I wonder if it did not sound 
bad to him too?

Or just call it a GRO (GRaphic Object ..... or Graphic REBOL Object)

Maybe the name fits. Working at that low level with c all the time^^
