awesome, thanks Carl 🙂

i think you can get the async's value in ui with "it" and the exception in fail with "it"

Correct :))

@carlw you picked this up real fast :))

@ron: how's it going with the layout?

Btw, TornadoFX uses Node.properties quite exensively.

@edvin yeah. i'm working on some MVVM stuff for FXDocs. I'd like to put a section on game design or graphics-oriented business applications

Rewriting a lot of it, but going to bed now

@User uploaded a file: Untitled and commented: in Vertex

with that I can easily select the right level and calculate the already used width

i know if feels like bad redundant data when you have to manage in >1 place, but this technique is much preferred to iterating over a model with every mouse shake

@edvin i think the extension functions are going to help this type of programming too

BTW I had to call the parent

dad

because of a clash with javafx 😆

@ron Maybe too late, but I don't know if you have seen this project https://github.com/tesis-dynaware/graph-editor

@ron: why don't you use parent and children from JavaFX?

@carlw Absolutely. I really like the ability to create a type safe property on a Node, for example.

@jchildress I did not know about that project, I will look at it once I have my poor mans version running

@edvin pure lack of knowledge of it. But thinking about it as soon as you use the parent and children of javafx. I cannot guess (yet) what effect that will have as javafx will want to control them too I guess

@ron I think you'll find that it will give you a lot for free. If you override layoutChildren, JavaFX won't touch them much at all.

another thing is the fact that currently a child kan only have 1 parent, I was thinking (while not being able to sleep with this) that later on there is the usecase that a child kan have multiple parents

the dependency tree from maven is a perfect example of a DAG, and as you know one dependency can be used by several other dependencies (intellij does a nice job drawing them)

Then where would that child be drawn? Under which parent?

this drawing as good examples of vertices having multiple connections

So you might need a really advanced algorithm to determine where to place the child then?

in a later date 🙂

this is how to build something the tree shows per part what is needed

so that is the graph I am working on now
