An email from a stranger

Posted by on October 14, 2010 No comments

Today I got an email from a stranger. The email’s content was not long. It was a question, or to put it better, it’s a request. It was about my new project I created a few days ago. Yeah, bluewolf-flex, which I introduced in my former post.

The question was ask me to give him some example code on how to use the library. Absolutely, it’s my negligence. Because the project is still in it’s process of the first stable version, and also this is my first open source project. I haven’t any experience on it. My thought was to upload the sample application after finishing the first stable version. But it seems to late. The project is available for everyone everywhere. So all useful information should be given with the source code at the same time. I’ll improve my work in the future development procedure.

At the end, I want to say thanks to the sender of this email. His mail not only let me know the things I mentioned above, but also encourage me at all. For the reason he is the first user of my library. From now on, I’m not only develop this project for myself. I should make it useful to as many people as I can.

Bluewolf-Flex library

Posted by on October 7, 2010 No comments

Bluewolf-flex is a library based on Adobe Flex 4 framework. I created it because I want to abstract some common functions into a library which contains a set of tools to solve some problems I met in my work.

I created the project on google code, you can get more information on

http://bluewolf-flex.googlecode.com

The first goal of this project is to build some components for drawing topological diagrams. The library has finished the following functions at the moment:

  1. Add nodes and links in diagrams
  2. Drag and drop nodes
  3. Layout objects in different layers, show several layers in one diagram
  4. Group objects, show grouped objects in different colors’ borders

I will update the development process in this blog regularly. And I appretiate for any kinds of contribution to this project. If you are interested in this project and willing to contribute, please leave a message for me.
