a morph has a name
Last updated at 6:35 pm UTC on 1 January 2019
A morph has a default "internal" name which you get with
aMorph name.
It is constructed using the identityHash value.
Example
r := Morph new extent: 100@50; openInWorld.
then print:
r name
and you'll see something like this (your identity number (406826) will most likely be different):
'a Morph(406826)'
However you may use #setNameTo: / knownName to work with a specific "external" name for the morph.
Example
To open a note card with a named PasteUpMorph do
p := PasteUpMorph new setNameTo: 'myNote'; extent: 640@480; openInHand.
And
p name
is (again, your identity number will be different)
'a PasteUpMorph<myNote>(1129382)'
whereas
p externalName
and
p knownName
is
'myNote'
