Gorm is an acronym for Graphic Object Relationship modeler (or perhaps
|
||||
GNUstep Object Relationship Modeler). Gorm is a clone of the NeXTstep
|
||||
`Interface Builder' application for GNUstep. Gorm is not `gormless'
|
||||
(a Yorkshire dialect word that my parents used when they spotted me
|
||||
staring, slack-jawed, at the TV).

Noteworthy changes in version `0.0.2'
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
* Add popup and pulldown menu controls
|
||||
|
||||
* Menu support
|
||||
|
||||
* More inspectors
|
||||
|
||||
* Some support for connections
|
||||
|
||||
* Much more fleshed out - too numerous to mention.
|
||||
|
||||
Noteworthy changes in version `0.0.1'
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
* 8th December 1999
|
||||
|
||||
* Save/Load 'nib' documents (binary archived data)
|
||||
|
||||
This works so far as it can be tested - but that's just
|
||||
archives containing windows or panels so far.
|
||||
|
||||
* Load palettes
|
||||
|
||||
Loading of palettes works. You can load palettes from the
|
||||
'Tools' menu. Gorm automatically loads all the palettes from
|
||||
its Resources directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* Basic framework
|
||||
|
||||
So far, the app provides a basic framework that needs
|
||||
fleshing out.
|
||||
* It has a palettes manager object that allows you to
|
||||
select a palette and drag items from the palette into
|
||||
your document.
|
||||
|
||||
* It has a special per-document editor object, which keeps
|
||||
track of a matrix of icons representing the top-level
|
||||
objects in the document.
|
||||
|
||||
* It has an inspector manager class, which updates the
|
||||
inspector panel when the selected object is changed by
|
||||
an editor.
|
||||
|
||||
* It has special inspectors for handling an empty
|
||||
selection or a multiple selection.
|
||||
|
||||
* Palettes
|
||||
|
||||
Four palettes (three of which are empty at present) are built
|
||||
and installed in the apps Resources directory.
|
||||
|
||||
The Window palette is more fully fleshed out than the other
|
||||
palettes. It permits windows and panels to be created in
|
||||
Gorm. If provides the start of a window attributes inspector.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* 18 December 1999
|
||||
|
||||
* You can drag views from a palette into a window or panel.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can select views in a window by clicking on them,
|
||||
shift-clicking (for multiple selection), or click-drag on the
|
||||
window background to select views in a box.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can delete/cut/copy/paste views betwen windows.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can move views in a window by clicking on them and
|
||||
dragging.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can resize views by clicking on their knobs and dragging.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can control-drag to mark source and destination views for
|
||||
a connection.
|
||||
|
||||
* Next task - inspectors.
|
||||
|
||||
The connection inspector needs to be implemented to complete
|
||||
the process of establishing connections. The size inspector
|
||||
needs to be implemented to set autosizing parameters for a
|
||||
view.
|
||||
|
||||
Once these are done, the object editor needs to be made to
|
||||
support connections so that we can connect between objects
|
||||
other than views, then we need to write a menu editor.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* 22 December 1999
|
||||
|
||||
* Connections inspector is now working - but it needs some
|
||||
effort to tidy it up.
|
||||
|
||||
* Class info (outlets and actions) is specified in
|
||||
'ClassInformation.plist' and needs to be present so that the
|
||||
app knows what outlets/actions an object has (and therefore
|
||||
what connections can be made).
|
||||
|
||||
* The view size inspector is working - allowing you to set the
|
||||
size of the subviews within a window.
|
||||
|
||||
* The attributes inspector for 'FilesOwner' is working, so you
|
||||
can define the class of the files owner (it defaults to
|
||||
NSApplication).
|
||||
|
||||
* There is a crude panel for setting the name of the selected
|
||||
object.
|
||||
|
||||
* I've created a couple of new images and got rid of the two
|
||||
NeXT images that were lurking in there.
|
||||
|
||||
* There is a Testing directory, with a GormTest application
|
||||
that lets you load a nib for testing - it assumes that the
|
||||
nib will set its FilesOwners delegate to point to a window,
|
||||
and makes that window the key window ...
|
||||
|
||||
* 23 December 1999
|
||||
|
||||
Last work before christmas ...
|
||||
|
||||
Various bits of tidying up plus -
|
||||
|
||||
Added an evil hack of a generic attributes inspector ... This
|
||||
looks through all the methods of the selected object to find those
|
||||
taking a single argument and beginning with 'set'. It makes all
|
||||
these setting methods (whose argument is a simple scalar type or
|
||||
an object) available for you to invoke from the inspector panel.
|
||||
|
||||
This makes it possible to set pretty much any attribute of any
|
||||
object, but you do need to have the GNUstep header files to hand,
|
||||
so you can tell what numeric values to enter to achieve a desired
|
||||
result.
