I am trying to provide documentation for the LCL (as .xml files using FPDoc
and tools in the Lazarus IDE).
In the unit Graphics, there are several Components that inherit properties and
methods from components and units in the FCL, including
FPImgCmn, FPImage, FPCanvas,
FPReadPNG, FPWritePNG,
FPReadBMP, FPWriteBMP, FPReadPNM, FPWritePNM, FPReadJpeg, FPWriteJpeg.
For example, when trying to write definitions for TPen, TBrush, TCanvas etc, I
am constantly finding references to TFPCanvas, TFPBrush and other components
in FPCanvas.
As far as I can see, there are no documentation files for these Units, and
when I try to create a documentation entry I get an error message (see
attached).
I need advice: either we need documentation files created by the FPC
developers, or I need to try to create documentation files using MakeSkel and
then submit them as patches (unless the FPC team are prepared to allow me to
commit changes to the Docs directory in SVN).
You can always create the files and use them locally.
As you know, policy is not to include docs unless the unit is fully
documented.
Can you create a branch for Chris to work on it? Or should we keep those partially
(because of work in progress) documented in the Lazarus repository and then you can
send patches, if you are working on it, but are not yet finished.
