[Pharo-users] UI Frameworks

[Bob Cowdery]

Hi,

What is the state of the various UI frameworks. I did play with Squeak 
many moons ago and used Morphic but I wanted something a bit higher up 
the food chain.

I see in Pharo, Spec seems to be the built in framework for widgets but 
I don't see any graphics capability in there.

There does seem to be a bunch of Graphics- classes but couldn't find any 
info on those.

I also found Block and Brick which say they are next generation, Block 
being for graphics and  Brick for widgets. These are not yet in Pharo 
and again I couldn't find any info although there is a tutorial for 
Block but not for Brick. Having forgotten most everything I knew I 
didn't have much success trying to run the Brick examples.

To build a reasonably complex UI today that requires both a good widget 
collection and decent drawing capability what would the best choice be.

Thanks
