It would probably be easy to plug liquid in to nanosheets. I'd like 
to see that too. The current evaluation order is fixed L->R-->Top->Bottom; 
with liquid you might be able to do away with that entirely, and 
let the evaluation drive things.

perfect examples  :-)  I forgot about the spreadsheets  yes, it would 
be pretty simple to wire up  :-)

where Can I find nanosheets?

jean-francois, that would be an integral part of elixir  :-)  so 
wait for it to give you such capabilities within your whole work 
environment

mario, mind maps are very cool... I would like to make an optimised 
tool for quickly creating and organising mind maps in elixir but 
I can say that I hope others will join me in adding toolsets... its 
the whole point of elixir, an open, common framework of integrated 
and live tools.  anything goes into anything, so you can do things 
like share data between, you graphics, mind map and project management... 
why not even use some of it to drive the GUI building for one of 
the panes... I mean, in the end, they are all being used for one 
goal.

robert, If I start from scratch, it will be an n dimension spreadsheet 
with a scale of infinity in each of those dimensions (thus really 
limited by RAM, disk and REBOL types).   why start it up with a limitiation 
which is actually very easy to design correctly for starters... 


especially with GLayout which would just adjust the views as they 
grow.

I think the final nanosheets code went up with the DevX article. 
If not, I have it here.

can you mail it to me?  does it depend on any particular version 
of view?

why is it not on rebol.org?

I'll mail it as well. Not on REBOL.org...just time, priorities, and 
lazyness.

ok.  can it be packaged as a library module  ;-)  I'd put it up on 
revault

(just started looking at nanosheets... must have a little fun)

hum... I'm thinking its going to be much easier to make a pico sheets 
 ;-)

I'll pipe in...I've got a modified copy of nanosheets with scroll 
bars so it could support

more cells for financials sheets for the Fire Deparment volunteers...

I've started a simple test... but will start over... the new version 
will handle as much cells as you have RAM  :-)

(or until the GC starts caving in ;-)

:)

basically going to use a HASH of liquid nodes (the nodes themselves 
being already connected) and just asking for cell values, based on 
what cells are visible within the scrollpane.

Maxim, you ever get some more of those demos worked up for liquid?

although it looks like he hasn't been on for a while

I think you can still get his attention on the maillist

and gmail chat

any results?

Max posted this to the mailing list about a month ago:

Max lives in a world of his own ... and I don't know the address!

hahahahahahahahaha

Has liquid now solidified?

I've been using liquid in a variety of projects for the better part 
of 2 years now... its ubber stable, fast and quite scalable... in 
fact much better than I had anticipated, for such an un optimised 
piece of code.

So, all the critics were wrong?

what critics  heheheh

There were a number ... I can remind you if you like :)

elixir, for example,  easily allocates 10 000 nodes, creates a several 
thousand line AGG script and actually manages to rebuild the whole 
AGG dialect block faster than view can redraw it.

You should be a salesman

elixir builds a 100% native AGG GUI .   EVERYTHING is built using 
liquid, event the field (control) properties and cursor management.

does it do anything useful?

the first real GLASS gui prototype is implemented within elixir... 
the whole field widget is about 30 lines of code IIRC and data is 
bound to input type without any coding needed within the actual widget.

elixir, itself is about 90% done.  file i/o is done, GUI framework 
finiwhed,  CLI 100% operational, all I needed was to finish the data 
query language to be able to create/list/edit/delete stuff in the 
data cloud more easily...

Pity none of us know what you're talkin about!

then, the goal was to build actuall software *within* elixir.

elixir is a next generation Operating system.

all coded using liquid as the kernel.

C##?

C++ or C#?

I havent done the OS level UI, just the work area system... but the 
OS level GUI is a piece of cake.  basically, just an interactive 
browser of your data cloud, using the query language and user d specified 
tags and information classification.

currently 100% rebol  !!!

Huh? You told me you were moving to C++

but I have started to look at C++, because of speed issues.

also will be porting to OpenGL, but the high level coding won't change.

basically I want to use rebol 3 core and wrap it within an OS shell.
