This seems to have originated in something called Visix Galaxy, and supposedly done better there than in Interface Builder. See here: https://wiki.c2.com/?SpringsAndStruts https://wiki.c2.com/?SpringsAndStruts
I tried finding any documentation on this tool/SDK, but no luck. Any one else has any more information on what this Galaxy looked like?
- kragen 2y agoi don't know when visix galaxy existed, but springs and struts are how tex did text layout in 01978 and how tex and latex still do it today. 'visix' sounds like a name from after 01978, though i could be wrong
- HexDecOctBin 2y agoHuh, interesting. I do keep planning to read the TeX book, just can't find the time.
- kragen 2y agoi read it when i was 18 and taking motel reservations in a call center. it has 27 chapters totaling 304 pages, thus averaging 11.3 pages per chapter. you can read a chapter each night before bed in 15 minutes and you'll be done by october. doing the exercises will take you longer, of course, and probably require you to sudo apt install texlive (i didn't have a computer to do that on)
- HexDecOctBin 2y agoIt's more about being busy reading other more immediately important stuff :)
- kragen 2y agolike hn comments, amirite
