Hi,
I have an algorithm for label placement (to not overlap with other
nodes). I will post it in a few weeks.

Rotating node wrapped in PStickyHandlesManager

2009-12-17T12:10:36Z

Hi All,
in our project we use sticky handles implementation based on
PStickyHandlesManager from extras package. Unfortunately this sticky
handles approach doesn't work properly when target node (i.e. the one
wrapped in sticky handles) is rotated, namely:
1) it doesn't ask target node about rotation angle so it always stays

Dear All, I want to change the color of the line of PPath..

2009-12-07T18:09:40Z

Dear All,

I am new to this Piccolo (c#), and I want to change the color of the
line of PPath, but I failed. >"< Could you help me this? Also I wish
to change the color not only by "Brushes.Red" but by the RGB model
like (231,241,115). Your helps are highly appreciated : )

Thank you very much : )

This is also pretty cool. I'm not convinced we should make changes to
core though. Please create a new issue, or comment on/post
attachments to Sam's issue on this thread.

I think this is cool, and a good fit for piccolox.swing in extras.
Could you create an issue for this? With the proper license header,
unit tests, checkstyle fixes, and refactoring of the example into a
separate class, this could go into 1.3.

My colleagues and I also saw a need for a Swing-like layout solution
for Piccolo2D, so we wrote an adapter that actually uses a swing layout
manager to arrange Piccolo nodes. I've attached the entire
implementation and example usage in SwingLayoutNode.java. Let's
discuss whether this should be included in the upcoming Piccolo 1.3

I work a lot with Swing so I created a solution very much like Swing's
layout managers for use with Piccolo.

I did the following

1) Created a PLayoutManager interface, mine contained the following
methods

public void removeLayoutComponent(PNode child);
public void addLayoutComponent(PNode child, PLayoutConstraints const

That's a good question. I'm fairly new to Piccolo2D, but I think not.
However, the position method on PNode is a good place to start.

Layout algorithms in Piccolo2D

2009-11-27T09:21:32Z

I have not found any reference to different layout algorithms in
Piccolo2D. So here are some questions.

Does Piccolo2D include layout algortihms (tree, radial, etc.)
(Something equivalent as JGraph) ?

If it does not support it, are there any open source extensions to
Piccolo2D for doing that ?

FYI: Putting PCanvas into JFrame

2009-11-12T20:49:33Z

Earlier this summer someone posted a question on how to put a PCanvas
into a JFrame and have it appear. Well, I can't seem to find a "Reply"
link on that post, so I thought I'd post the solution here since I
recently had the same issue.

It may be obvious to expert Swing-ers, but I found out the hard way

Re: [piccolo2d-users] Access PSwingCanvas

Allain, Thanks for the prompt response.
Actually I need to set the PSwingCanvas for the PComboBox in the
setEnvironment() method. So I am not sure how I will go about doing the
event approach. (I am relatively new with Piccolo usage.)

Thanks

Reason this is not as simple as you might think is that the same PRoot can
be displayed in multiple canvases simultaneously, the display component only
makes sense in terms of the component through which it is being interacted
with. That's why I suggested the event approach.

Within an event you can call event.getComponent() and cast it to
PSwingCanvas.

Access PSwingCanvas

2009-11-18T21:45:48Z

Hi,
Is there a way to access PSwingCanvas 0bject from one of its child
components?
I have the following hierarchy,
* PSwingCanvas
** PCamera
** PLayer
*** PNode
*** PNode
...

So in effect I want to access the parent PSWingCanvas from one of the
child PNodes. I can easily get the PRoot from it. But that doesnt seem
