I spent a lot of time reading tutorials on morphic. All I can find is a
small bits of information about layouts, windows, some widgets, events. My
biggest problem is that I don't want to go through 10 introductory
tutorials on how to create a morphic project, drop several components into
it and then modify a value to be displayed. Tutorials are great to see how
easy things can be done. There is nothing to look at after tutorial has
been finished.
There are a lot of morphs. What is the diffence between different
morphs. Yes, star morph is cool. What do I do with it? Why do I need
it? In a category windows there are 23 items. 9 items are different
pluggable windows. I can't even count how many different variations of
*String* and *Text* morph can be found. I just want a simple label! How
about a simple edit field? What about drop down list. How in a world do I
put components in a single window? Which window among 23 items is the
right one?
Is there anything close to a complete documentation about most important
components?
How are these components intended to be used?
A lot of things look very nice. It seems that I can try things quickly
from scrapbook/workspace, but it is not much fun to try every widget and
execute every method and see what happens.
May be I am too picky, but it takes a lot of time to investigate what every
component does.
