<br>
</div>ImageSegment depends on SmartRefStream. SmartRefStream is independent<br>
of ImageSegment and can also be used alone.<br>

</div>ImageSegment uses SmartRefStream to serialize itself. </blockquote><div><br>ok, can I ask where in the code is that? Maybe when ImageSegment uses the method fileOutClass: nil andObject: (in ImageSegment >> writeForExportOn:) ?<br>
<br>But this is only used when you want to export an ImageSegment to another image. If you want to swap out an ImageSegment and then load it again, I think it doesn't use SmartRefStream because it just write to file the wordarray. (ImageSegment >> writeToFile) <br>
<br>I am correct ?<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
That includes<br>
its internal state (the image segment object), the ByteArray that the<br>
VM primitive produces, as well as incoming and outgoing references<br>
(for example classes and symbols).<br>

<br>
</div>SmartRefStream can handle class shape changes. ReferenceStream not.<br>
