Opening a Morph in the World - LucPrestin/Hidden-Modularity GitHub Wiki

Description

Morphs are the building blocks on which Squeak's graphical output is based. Since this is a feature we want to explore, it's a good idea to start with the simplest example: opening a simple morph in the world.

Code

^ TDBCursor traceForBlock: [Morph new openInWorld]

Hypotheses

  • drawing a simple morph should be a simple thing with few participating classes. We'd expect to see a rather small graph.
  • We would expect to see things related to point arithmetic, the morph itself, and classes related to graphics routines, like colors.

Screenshots from older versions of the graph, on a more fine-grained data basis (colors don't match, as we changed the color calculation mid-project):
