[REBOL] Qestions for holger ;) WAS: Re: Re: technology behind Morpheus ....

Hi list, Holger,
I was just thinking about the upcoming /View improvements and have some
questions/ideas:
1.Alpha channel: Will be possible to use effect block even on alpha channel
only? I think aplying effects(and event DRAW dialect commands) to 8-bit
alpha layer (for example gradients) would be very handy.
2. Anti-alias effect -> rotation: Some time ago you answer on one of my
questions:
-native rotation of face's content in any angle
Difficult to do if you expect results in reasonable quality :), i.e.
anti-aliased etc.
So now, when we will have antialiasing, will you plan to add face rotation?
;)
3. event-system: I know you plan to improve event handling but I have some
related ideas:
Would be great to add something like for example:
my-event: make event! [
type: 'down ;or type: 'my-custom-event
offset: 50x50
]
and then:
send-event my-event [event! or block of events!] my-face[object! or block of
!objects]
What is your opinion on that?
4. recursive face timers removal: This feature will be cool for exact
controlling/timing of complex faces with subfaces. Maybe you didn't catch my
post explaining this so:
We need command which might be derived from 'hide. For example 'freeze. This
command will behave simmilar like 'hide but without feature to hide face(s)
i.e. when you "freeze my-face" all subfaces of my-face will recursively stop
receiving of time events but will remain shown on the screen. Command with
reversed behavior would be 'unfreeze or something like that.
What is your opinion on that?
5. make/deep [] : Will you plan in the next release add native recusive
clonning of objects? I think this feature would by very useful not only when
working with 'face objects.
Thanks in advance for your answers
regards
Cyphre
