Postings tagged with Extended Layout
Final SoC-Status
So the summer of code has reached its hands-down phasis and few minutes before the deadline finally height-for-width support has landed:
Proper support for rotated labels with ellipses also has been backported to GTK+:

I didn't provide a status report for some time, so what happend in extended layout world?
I stopped to waste time with baseline alignment and switched to spreading natural size support over GTK+. As a result of this effort many widgets and one cell renderer are providing and interpreting natural size information now: GtkAlignment, GtkBin, GtkButton, GtkCellRendererText, GtkCellView, GtkFrame, GtkHBox, GtkLabel, GtkSocket, GtkTable and GtkVBox.

Last week I wanted to implement something to show, so I started on baseline alignment. First lesson I've learned: The original idea, of just changing the vertical position of the widgets turned out to be thought too simple. Instead of applying the baseline adjustments from the outside by tweaking the ...

During the last week I've adding GtkExtendedLayout support to GtkLabel and GtkBin. GtkVBox got some first code to use this extended layout information. Results are not that fancy yet, but the next days should bring some nice break-through.
The test program got rather confusing with all the guides drawn, so it got checkboxes to toggle visibility of certain guide types ...

Here comes a new Summer of Code status report.
- I've increased my involvement with the GTK+ team: Took care about some GTK+ bugs. Got permissions to close bugs after applying reviewed patches (see: GtkTasks). During that process I've got more familiar with git-svn - had my first dcommits.
- Wasted time on extending libzip to support extracting PPMd compressed ZIP files ...

No much progress on my SoC project: This year the LinuxTag took place in my home town Berlin, so I helped out at GNOME booth there. Nice opportunity to meet some GNOME people. Tim Janik told me about some height-for-width traps - looks like I have to extend my unit tests. Talked with Rob Taylor about some document centric usability improvements for GNOME ...
