Hi there, blobs people

Recently, I have begun using blobs for my own project. It already has many features I need and the code is very readble (although there could be more documentation). As these projects are all about give and take, I would like to make my extensions publicly available. Wher should I send them and how? Should I use darcs send? (Never worked with it.) My first extension is about a more flexible placement of node labels: Instead of just above or below, I need other placements as well. Thus, I modified the Justify data type to my needs and migrated it to Network.hs. Now, the following placements are possible, best used with rectangular nodes. Above ----------------------------------------- | Top | | | | | LeftBeside|LeftInside Center RightInside|RightBeside | | | | | Bottom | ----------------------------------------- Below Especially I need nodes which form boxes around the centered label. But for this I need a possibility to call (logical)TextExtend from outside of NetworkView (in the node creation routine). Where do I get this mystical DC () value?? More to come! Cheers Bernd

Hi Bernd, I am not the person to send updates to, but I can answer your question.
But for this I need a possibility to call (logical)TextExtend from outside of NetworkView (in the node creation routine). Where do I get this mystical DC () value??
You can create a device context for the screen by called screenDCCreate (for which you need to import WXCore). Cheers, Arjan

Apologies for the long delay in replying - I was away at a workshop (demonstrating Blobs with the FPTC backend actually) when your email arrived, and it has taken a long time to catch up. Yes, please do make your contributions public. The easiest way is to use 'darcs send'. The patches will come to my email address, and I will apply them to the published repository.

Great. Regards, Malcolm
