Hi, I wondered about this myself. I couldn't see much of a difference in the demo code, in the way it worked. My first thought was that a model was a way to make clones... like make a model then clone it to make new items, but I don't think that is it. If you look at the docs that come with the Goo c library, the Model class is designed to make subclassing of items and designing your own items simpler. I don't grasp it all yet, but it seems that the various Model classes are the base classes of the various item classes (which are more complex than the base model). There are subtle differences in the inheritance heirarchy between the model and the item, and that probably make it easier to use it as a base class.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
