Title: Quartz backend for Athens framework Level: (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Intermediate
Possible mentor: (can be assigned later) Esteban Lorenzano Possible second mentor: (can be assigned later) Description Athens is a vectorial graphics library that supports different backends but now is restrained to Cairo. Also, current implementation uses NativeBoost, who at the time generates and executes dynamic code. This combination mades impossible to use the framework for iPad/iPhone applications and we have need to support them. The project then is to create a new backend for the Athens library that can be used both in macs and ipad/iphone platforms. Technical Details The student need to study the current Athens-Balloon and Athens-Cairoo implementation, and the Ballon plugin, to produce a Quartz plugin and to create the Athens extension to use it. Benefits to the Student The student will understand the plugin architecture and how it interacts with the environment, also he will have internals on native boost and vectorial libraries. Benefits to the Community The community will gain the ability of develop better applications for ipad/iphone mobile platforms. thanks, Esteban On 11 Feb 2014, at 11:42, Guillermo Polito <guillermopol...@gmail.com> wrote: > * New Pharo Text Model > Skill level: advanced > > Mentor: Guillermo Polito (guillermopol...@gmail.com) maybe Igor Stasenko? > > Pharo transition to vector graphics needs a new TextModel.
