There have been a few discussions in the past on how best to do an edje editor. (The old ebits editor was named 'etcher', so I always assumed we'd re-use that, but we don't have to. Frankly edje_editor is clear and straightforward enough. I had started playing with editor ideas a few years ago, but took a tack that proved itself to be the wrong one (using edje's internal data structures directly). We then started engrave as an edc parsing / editing library, to be used by any future editor. (However, its a total pain to keep it in sync with edje changes, and as such doesn't support anything that was added to edje over about a year ago). For another thread, see: Jan 17, 2006 Chady Kassouf [E-devel] [RFC] Edje GUI Editor Ideally, I'd like to see some sort of edc editing lib in edje itself that would be easier to keep in sync with edc changes. The next step to an editor is to write a simplified version of edje_calc() to be used in an editing environment. (e.g. only render the selected state, dont' respond to mouse events, maybe tween when a new state is selected...) On top of this we'd need the ability to select parts and add resize handles (some way of changing relative, offset and 'to' params with the mouse). Maybe also the ability to say "make this the min size of the part, and this the max". Anyway, its nice to see someone else picking this up. You should probably take a look at both ewl and etk and see if one or the other fits your needs before going with gtk. (just to keep it in the family). rephorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
