[Grace-core] Web-based compiler problems

[Kim Bruce]

I just loaded up the new graphics library components on the web-based Grace compiler and tried to run test_Graphics_Timer from the repository (grace-phix).  Unfortunately it crashed.  Here is the error message:


Error around line 9 of window: RuntimeError: No such method 'init' on Object.
  Called Object.add (defined at window:111 in object at window:45) at test_Graphics_Timer:15
  Called block<window:118>.match (defined at unknown location) at window:97
  Called block<window:118>.applyIndirectly (defined at unknown location) at window:9
  Called Object.init (defined nowhere in object at components:175) at window:9
Error around line 9 of window: RuntimeError: No such method 'init' on Object.
   8: // This component is a top level graphical frame, which is required
   9: // for anything that needs to be displayed. It is also of type container
  10: // as it can contain other components which get displayed in the window.
You can examine the values of local variables at the time the program stopped.

----------
There is indeed a call of canvas.init on line 116 of window.grace, but it shouldn't be
executed in this instance.  I also didn't see why any init method would be called in box.add(c).
David or Alex, any idea what is happening.

test_Graphics_Mouse also died, while test_Color, test_Graphics_Basic, test_Contains, and test_Ordering were fine.

I'll try to look at it more later to see if I can find anything more specific, but I was just using your test code.

Thanks for your help!

Kim
