[etoys-dev] GSoC - Progress on the graphing tools

[Ricardo Moran]

Thanks Hilaire! It would be great if we had a teacher testing our tools with
his students. Now that they're public it is posible that some teacher could
find them interesting :)

I must admit I'm very embarrased of not having looked at Dr. Geo until now
(even though Markus told me to do it when we started this project... I
should have listened to him).
Anyway, what you did is amazing! Truly amazing!
The thing that most embarrases me is that every geometric object in Dr. Geo
is a separate morph (vectors, points, segments, and so on). This is so
obvious I feel like an idiot, but I did it the other way: I made only one
morph and I change its #drawOn: method. As a result it is somewhat difficult
to change the atributes of a specific vector without affecting others. I
will now have to fix my implementation because I didn't look at yours before
:P
