Degrafa for Flex in Action: SVG Tiger in MXML
July 27, 2007
Juan has posted an example showing just how complicated of graphic, Degrafa for Flex can render. In that particular example the famous cubic spline tiger was chosen as it’s a rather complex svg document. The path geometry data in that svg graphic was copied directly into Degrafa path short hand data objects, with no changes to the geometry.

Juan has published another example of skinning with Degarfa on the blog. Using Degrafa, Juan skinned a vertical slider component into a thermometer type gauge component. Slick work Juan!
Degrafa for Flex in Action: Repeaters
July 16, 2007
Juan from ScaleNine has published another great post where he discusses repeaters in Degrafa and how they work. It’s definitely one of my preferred extender type objects in Degrafa. The lines of typing and time you can save with repeaters is immediately evident once you get comfortable and put them to good use.

Degrafa for Flex in action: Skinning
July 12, 2007
Juan from ScaleNine has posted an example of how Degrafa can be used for skinning. Though a simple example, it goes to show that we have not left skinning out of the equation in the Degrafa framework. I personally think that the idea of programmatic skinning with out the need to write action script or extend one of the programmatic skin classes is way cool, just 100% MXML declarative mark-up.

Degrafa: A declarative graphics framework for Flex.
July 5, 2007
This blog has been silent lately (promise I’ll get back to cool components soon). However I have not been without thoughts or work on what could/will benefit the Flex community.
Flex 2.0 Samples and Source Restored
May 15, 2007
Last night sometime during the wee hours here but peak hours for the western hemisphere, my hosts server crashed and crashed big. They had to rebuild the server and every sample app this blog points to on that server became corrupted.
Flex 2.0 Primitive Explorer
March 14, 2007
One of the things lacking in Flex 2.0 is the ability to easily draw primitive objects. Whether it be for style enabled itemrenderers, programmatic skins, or a style enabled rating component like the one included with this explorer as a sample. I’ve abstracted the primitive algorithms into handy UIComponents. Direct access to the static drawing utility class is available.
