Re: Adding Chart widget to standalone version

I'm feeling the stupidest person in this planet now, Peter. I was looking the Chart on the top of the Palette, as a Widget. Thank you!

Carolina, the Chart widget is right there in your screenshot, 4th in the second column in the palette on the right. It looks like a Pie Chart but you can change it to other types after you add it. Am I misunderstanding your issue?

Wow, Peter, thank you for answering so fast!

But no, I don't see Chart in the Palette, not even after restarting the program. Here you can see an screenshot of my WFS:

Carolina, thank you for your kind words. The Chart widget is already there, just look for "Chart" in the palette. After you add it, you can change the chart type in Properties view. Let me know if you need more help.

Adding Chart widget to standalone version

Carolina Rom�n — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:06:00 -0000

Hi, I started with WFS yesterday: I've been using the trial version and I love it already, it works great. The best part is there are official packages for Linux (indeed, I chose WFS because of that, thank you!).

I have a question about adding new widgets. I downloaded the standalone version 3.5.1 from Apr 30 2012 which doesn't include the new Chart widget. Could somebody tell me how I install it? (I don't use Eclipse).

Thank you!

Elisabeth, WireframeSketcher probably works fine with Eclipse 4. It's just that Welcome page that is not there. Welcome page exists in Eclipse 3.x, but it looks like it's gone (or maybe not there yet) in Eclipse 4. It's not an important functionality though and you should be able to create and edit screens. Let me know if this does not work for you.

Weird, because I have Eclipse 4 on my Lion laptop and sketcher is working there. I just installed it.

I wonder if it's something about the way I've set up Eclipse on my desktop.

Elisabeth, thanks for the log file. It looks like you are using Eclipse 4 which we do not support yet. I guess we'll have to start testing it. I sent you the tutorial project.

Thanks Peter, just sent you a bug from Eclipse with a log file and screenshot.

Elisabeth, I need more details. Welcome option should be present under Help even if you don't install WireframeSketcher.

First try to send me your info using Window > Preferences > WireframeSketcher > Report a Bug. If for whatever reason this does not work then email me as much information as possible: Eclipse version, your OS, perhaps a screenshot. Also include your log file which you'll be able to find under <your workspace>/.metadata/.log. You'll find my email on support page.

Hi Peter, thanks.

I do not have a "Welcome" menu option under Help.

Hmmm...

Elisabeth, to create a tutorial project go to Help > Welcome > Overview and then select WireframeSketcher tutorial. Let me know if this works for you.

Can't find Sketcher-tutorial project after installing

Elisabeth — Tue, 15 May 2012 03:56:00 -0000

I just installed wireframe sketcher into eclipse but when I open the sketcher perspective, I get nothing. I don't see the sketcher-tutorial project, and can't find it in my Eclipse directory. No files, etc.<br/>

Any ideas what might have gone wrong, or how to find the tutorial and other files? I did a search on my computer but couldn't find the folder.

Re: Consider adding an interactive type for hiding/showing elements?

It's okay, though it's not so intuitive, thanks.

Re: Consider adding an interactive type for hiding/showing elements?

Peter Severin — Thu, 10 May 2012 02:19:00 -0000

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your suggestion. WireframeSketcher targets static wireframes so adding interactivity events is not on my list right now. I recommend that you use components to create screen variations that show how things change on user interactions. Components let you include screens in other screens so creating variations is easy without any content duplication. Let me know if this works for you.

Consider adding an interactive type for hiding/showing elements?

Daniel — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:39:00 -0000

Hi, Peter,would you consider adding an interactive type for hiding/showing elements? I would like to make a panel shown or hidden when i click a button or a link.

Brian Kotek — Sun, 06 May 2012 15:58:00 -0000

Hmm...I actually don't, I just was thinking about something like Flex where a container has verticalGap and horizontalGap properties. So I'm not sure how it would work other than a dialog or tooltip that would let you enter a number.

Re: Distributing Elements

Peter Severin — Sun, 06 May 2012 05:39:00 -0000

Brian, your message was caught by spam filter.

Do you know any graphical software that lets you specify a gap? I'd like to use an established UI for that.

Right now you have to put first and last elements in desired positions and then other element will be distributed in between.
