Lower-Level REBOL/View Documentation

Just an FYI: As part of new packages (like SDK, etc.), we will be providing detailed documentation on the lower levels of View (i.e. sub-VID layers) including the compositing engine architecture and how it works, descriptions of the primary graphics objects and native functions, everything you need to know about the event system, effect rendering, draw dialect, and more. It will also include dozens of non-VID graphics examples. This doc will follow after the first beta release of the REBOL/SDK (this week). The doc will also be available to View users who want more control over the system. Watch for an announcement and link on the REBOL.com website. -Carl

Hi Petr, PK> maybe many users would welcome VID internals too? I mean especially PK> description of how is typical VID style created, probing the object and PK> explaining what e.g. 'init means, when it is created, etc etc ... you PK> know what I mean :-) I started some notes like that for the VID project. At some point, I'll try to get back to it. Of course, anyone on IOS Developer is welcome to contribute. :) -- Gregg

Gabriele, Waving that "read the source" line in front of you again, eh ? Well, then, I haven't looked too deeply into it, but maybe you can explain what that setting of parent-face in Romano's auto-panel does ? After all, it's so obvious from reading the source. :) Anton.
