Good lord man, yes that's a nice bit of history but do you now
want him to look up fwm2's docs as well! :)
Also, I can't even access that link you gave... And where is the old
pdf that had edje documentation (the edje cookbook or something)?
Anyway, why not give a simple explanation of the thing rather than
beat around the bush... Something short but to the heart of the matter,
like say:
An edje object is a particular kind of container evas object
(also called evas smart objects). In the edc description, an edje
object is defined as a 'group'.
As a container object, it has child objects and these are declared
in the edc as various kinds of 'parts' within that group. There are parts
like 'rectangle' and 'image', for example, which are of known type.
But an edje can also have child evas objs of any sort by declaring
'swallow' parts in its edc. The 'swallow' C-api is what then enables you
to programatically add an arbitrary evas object (that you've obtained
somehow) as a child of the edje so as to 'fill' whatever declared
swallow part.
............
Now, where's that iMenu? And E shell-skinning? And improved
Exchange server? And ...... :)
