Re: [Gzz] REPOST: PEG: Alter Canvas2D vocab to support transclusions

[Asko Soukka]

Hi,

Thanks, I'm for that PEG.

Mudyc is worried about the amount of buoys, when clones are also shown as 
them. And that is necessary to see, what all changes, when editing a 
cloned node. Well, the amount could really be a problem if all the 
clones of nodes on a single canvas are shown simultaneously.

Would it work in way that only clones of the node selected for editing are 
shown at once. I guess, showing clones of a single node is the most 
relevant, when editing that node.

Oh, of course :)

Would only "structure view" make enough difference for canvas views?

And AFAIK Loom Views are currently 2D because our nodeview won't scale
yet. Maybe I should discuss and work first for that. Now I'm going to farm
work again, but maybe on Thursday, or next week at the last.

That would make also the WheelView to be more useful.
