everything is set in _properties, not properties. Can't access _property since I don't have access, 1) why are there 2 versions of each property 2) why are properties all assigned null?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez What object type is this?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez If this is a

Tile

, you might want to ask Gerrit about how to access the properties in that object, if there are no public methods exposed.

I just deleted the user and dev google groups - looking for/removing any links to them now 🙂

I think they were only linked in the README on GitHub. Removed now.

@edvin working on the shape moving code for the relocate() / coord system blog. how about a year-end review / 2018 predictions for your first blog. maybe a video?

Here's an advance look at a blog post I'll type up tomorrow as the first installment of the weekly TornadoFX content resolution. It's moving shapes around a pane with a calculated offset so that the shape doesn't jump when it's first selected for the relocate() operation.

I might have to. I've submitted an issue before but I'm not sure if he ever saw it. Might try it again

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez I just checked the code,

Tile

extends

Control

, so it does have a publicly available

properties

object. Not sure I see your problem? 🙂

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez To be clear,

properties

by default are mostly empty, but you can use that store to assign custom data to your ui elements.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez If you're posting questions to Gerrit, I'd also phrase them in plain JavaFX terms

@carlw Predictions.. Hmm.. I'll try to stick to what I know and just provide useful tips etc. My idea for the turning tool app kind of fell through, because I couldn't actually find enough information to decode all possible configurations/codes, so I'm trying to think of something else.

the turning tool is for the lathe?

@carlw Yes, the tools have some crazy iso codes that describe what kind of tool/holder/inserts it is, and their geometry, but it seems people are using non standard codes to describe them

Here are the basics: https://www.cutwel.co.uk/learn-the-turning-tool-iso-code-system

I was hoping this would be enough. It would make for a neat little app to show just the relevant information for a single tool when you enter a code.

how about something smaller and more accessible to a general audience...like something arduino-based

?

a few servo motors to guide a JavaFX path

open source a hardware design

Takes too much time.

even with tornadofx?

It's probably too involved, I don't want to do an arduino project and fiddle with hardware 🙂

right...what about a scientific visualization like Sean Phillips did with the NASA data set?

might get TornadoFX down to the canvas level primitives

TornadoFX doesn't have any specific support for that, so it would basically be JavaFX Code written in Kotlin.

no opportunity for something different? the graphics context stuff looks the same as what i did on X-Windows 2 decades ago

...if i had 1 wish for 2018 it would be for a WildFly Artemis JMS Client...my usual Hermes doesn't seem to work with WF10 and probably not with 11

(though i can get at Artemis directory outside of WF)

So you will make it?? 🙂
