Re: [Pharo-users] Some news from the growing pharo teacher front

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Phil,

Thanks for your interest. Please try this updated installation script [1]:
http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/doc/tip/install.st

After installing it run from a playground:

    GrafoscopioBrowser startDockingBar

You will have a Spanish docking bar with some options to start your 
exploration (sorry no time yet for translations).

Still lots of rookie code everywhere, so any advice is welcomed.

I have updated the documentation on StHub.

Cheers,

Offray

Offray,

I wanted to try Grafoscopio but couldn't load it in Pharo4 (windows)

I used your stfx workspace as mentioned on STH.

"Updates the system prerequisites with new versions of itself take 
from the source code repository"

"Visualization library (which also makes main menu loadable)"
Gofer it
smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile' project: 'Roassal2';
configurationOf: 'Roassal2';
loadStable.

"Open/save files on STON format"
Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'SvenVanCaekenberghe' project: 'STON';
configurationOf: 'Ston';
loadBleedingEdge.

"Moose and Roassal integration"
Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'Glamour';
package: 'Glamour-Tools';
package: 'Glamour-Roassal2-Presentations';
load.
Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'GToolkit';
package: 'GT-InspectorExtensions-CoreRoassal';
load.

"Integration with external tools"
Gofer new
    smalltalkhubUser: 'Offray' project: 'Grafoscopio';
    package: 'Grafoscopio-ExternalTools';
    load.

"HTML scrapping"
Gofer new
    smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'Soup';
    configurationOf: 'Soup';
    loadStable.

"Data visualization"
Gofer new
    smalltalkhubUser: 'Offray' project: 'Dataviz';
    package: 'Dataviz';
    load.

Gofer new
    smalltalkhubUser: 'Offray' project: 'Grafoscopio';
    package: 'Grafoscopio';
    load.


Just that I put #loadStable instead of #loadDevelopment for Roassal.

So, how is one opening the tool?

I tried:

GrafoscopioGUI new open.

but got EclipseUIThemeIcons MNU: catalogIcon

I put another icon just to get past and as I found no World menu 
entry, I did:

GrafoscopioGUI new openWithSpec.

Clicking on the toobar gives me Por implementar...

Any resource for me to look at?

A "Notebook" in Pharo, I want to try :-)

Phil

    Thanks :).

        Did you have a look to Jupyter notebook ?
        https://jupyter.org/


    Yep, I know it. In fact I come from IPython to Pharo because I
    need a more moldable and flexible environment for data narratives
    and visualization and adapting IPython/Jupyter has a lot of
    cognitive burden when is not development but writing/research your
    primary goal. I have wrote about it here[1][2]:

    Thinking now about it, it occurs to me that grafoscopio is to
    Jupyter kind of what SmalltalkHub is to GitHub. It tries to solve
    the same problem of Jupyter (interactive documentation) but with a
    different approach, from a "pharo/smalltalk" perspective. For me
    the big advantage are tree like interactive documents (as pointed
    in [2]), a feature that Jupyter notebooks are still lacking and
    that starts to weight when you start to write a long interactive
    document on Jupyter with only cells. You can split the document on
    several files, but you lost panoramic view (you see only the
    current file) or have a single long one file, but then your are
    lost in the details (see an example of an abandoned notebook
    exploration at [3])

        This could be nice if we could have a Pharo support for this
        (already supported by other
        languages like R, Python, Scala, etc ...).


        Best,


    Or have it the other way around: R, Python, Scala supported in
    Pharo, without the constrains of a web interface and the notebook
    "cells only" format. Maybe some kind of support for the ZeroMQ
    jupyter kernel could be the start of this kind of multi-language
    support *inside* Pharo documents.
