Hi all, This is about http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/BigPageWidget
I think a component that any OpenMoko application could call upon to handle the display, zooming, scrolling and interaction with pages larger than the screen in a very intuitive, polished (antialiased fonts, etc) and speedy way could add enormous utility to a load of apps. I've written a proposal for a 'BigPage widget' that would allow any application to create an offscreen 'canvas' of any size that it could render whatever information it desired to. The BigPage widget (placed somewhere on the UI of the application) would then handle the display of the canvas, or part of the canvas - depending on zoom level. So, I am writing to this list in the hope that someone who is writing a kind of 'full page scaling' feature like BigPage for their app split it out and make it a widget that can be accessed by a lot of apps. By it being a widget we would allow many apps to use the same kind of UI/gestures and also save a lot of developer time... Please tell me what you think! Who
