[Seaside] Seaside 2.6 Example?

[Wilkes Joiner]

Use the source! This is Smalltalk after all, ;)

I create a class (which should be in Seaside) call WARenderCanvasComponent:

WAComponent subclass: #WARenderCanvasComponent
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'SeasideExtensions'

WARenderCanvasComponent>>rendererClass
    ^ WARenderCanvas

All of my components subclass this.  Which means that renderConentOn:
is passed in an instance of WARenderCanvas.

Then I have 2 hierarchy browsers open, one for WACanvas and one for
WABrush.  I also look at WACanvasTest as a simple example to get a
feel for how the classes work.
The basic idea is that calling a method on WACanvas returns an
instance of WABrush.  From there on it is just browsing the classes to
find out what messages they understand.

Hope this helps,
Wilkes
