green_shoes button size headache

Hi,

I am fairly new to ruby, but have taken a shine to green_shoes.

I can't seem to figure out how to manipulate the size of a button though.
If i create buttons from an array like.
-----------------------------------------------
flow width: 0.5,height: 0.3 do
         a.punten.each {|e|
         button(e.afk) {alert "
             Naam   :  #{e.name}
             Locatie:  #{e.locatie}
             Aard   :  #{e.aard}
             Actie  :  #{e.actie}"}
         }
        end
--------------------------------------------
Where do I put the width and height statements?
i've tried before and after the (e.afk) with colons before and after the 
width height calls, but no luck...

Try leaving off the ()

it _should_ (note, im not up on the latest on green_shoes) be

button "Push me", :height => 1000000 do

If you must have ()s, it would be

button("Push me", :height => 1000000) do

Actually, that *should* work just fine. The only difference between { } and
do..end are in syntax; Ruby compiles them the same way.

Yeah, the problem is that the button is too small for the text! If you want
to make a button that small, you will probably have to draw your own, and
use a .click handler on it...

If you didn't explicitly do something else, you're using Red Shoes. You'd
know if you installed any of the others.

Can't the text font size be reduced ?

Before I may start reinventing the wheel, can you point me out at doc on how
to draw my own button ?

I can't find instructions for installing green on the Mac. I tried
installing gem on ruby,
and then

gem install green_shoes-0.171.0.gem

It complains of not finding

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h

Looks like the ruby sources or development environment is needed.....??

Im checking ruby gem's documentation...

Hi Elias,

> Can't the text font size be reduced ?
Sorry, it can't so far.

> how to draw my own button ?
How about this one?

Shoes.app do
  nofill
  bg = rect(50, 50, 20, 16, curve: 5)
  para '^', left: 53, top: 50
  fg = rect(50, 50, 20, 16, fill: rgb(128, 128, 128, 0.4), curve: 5).hide
  bg.hover{fg.show}
  bg.leave{fg.hide}
  bg.click{alert 'hi'}
end

Oh, sorry...
For now, green_shoes gem is available on Windows and Linux.
But if you can use X11 for Mac, i5m will help you. > Hey, i5m. Could you
please?

I managed to get Green Shoes running on my ageing 10.5 PPC Mac so it
should be easily possible on a newer Mac. Basically follow the Ubuntu
instructions: 
https://github.com/ashbb/green_shoes/wiki/Building-Green-Shoes-on-Ubuntu

1) You need to install the OSX Developer tools
2) and then I used Macports since I already had it available, but I
believe the new cool way is Homebrew,
2a) Install Ruby 1.9
2b) Install Cairo
2c) Install gtk
2d) Install the Cairo and gtk gems
3) Install the green shoes gem (at the time I did it the gem wasn't
available so I just cloned ashbb's repo and ran it from there).

Job done.

I switched from MacPorts to homebrew last night. It's much better.

Hey Elias-

Yeah, green shoes is only with X11 on the mac. Just install the OSX
developer tools, here:
http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/index.action(Xcode and iOS
SDK). You'll have to sign up for a free apple developer
account...
