[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] Drawing API demo
Hi devs, Finally, i've had the time to put up a small demo of the drawing API using Tatami(http://tatami.googlecode.com), i would like to commit it to the sandbox, but in order to do that i need write permitions for the user mjbento. Now, regarding the demo, i've only implemented the basic objects and object operations. Right now it's more of a case show of the Tatami performance than the real deal, because, in order to do that it would have to be ported into a API with all the functionalities implemented. User tip: After you finish the drawing of an object, the Select tool is automatically selected. In order to move the objects, simply click them in Select mode. So, finally, please check it out if you have some time, I would really apreciate some feedback on this. Best regards, Miguel Bento.

Done, you now have commit rights in the sandbox. FWIW here's a nice looking tool: http://blogs.atlassian.com/news/2008/06/create_moc kups.html Not sure if that's what you're doing... Thanks -Vincent

Hi Miguel, Keep in mind that the most important thing is NOT the drawing, but the integration with the wiki. Generic web drawing applications are nice toys, but will never be more than toys. The goal is to have the features of the wiki in a drawing application. Before going further, you should start thinking about how should you use the wiki behind the drawing. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
Thanks, i'll keep that in mind, but for now this is only a case show of tatami usability. I wont commit the demo until late this night as i have another work i have to atend. On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 8:43 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu@xwiki.com> wrote:

Hey, here's the link where you can "test drive" Tatami: http://mmp.eksperimental.net/com.XWiki.CBDF_beta/CBDF_beta.html As for the integration, i'm already working with Jean-Vincent Drean in order to acomplish it. Tomorrow night i'll start the work and hopefully i'll have aloot of cool stuff to ask you guys!
That sounds like a good start to do integration with XWiki: - integrate with the XWiki GWT Application loading system - integrate in the UI of XWiki - integrate by storing the result in the wiki (in a macro or attached file) - integrate by allowing rendering as an image - integrating by allowing to click to edit Once we have that level of integration, the next step will be making it: - a usefull drawing program (including text and text/drawing objects so that you get some nice things for making diagrams) - a real time drawing program Ludovic Miguel Bento wrote:
