Hi Stef,
We are not throwing away anything. The goal is not to produce a new model, the
goal is to find one that matches the requirements.
Don't play with words.
We already learnt a lot from TxText, but it has limitations in how to deal with
things that are not only text.
I can imagine.
We have no intention of producing an unfinished text model :).
Me neither with igor and txText yet life decided otherwise. You see I
spent at 10 months of salary on txText.
This is a critical component for us. Please let us work for a couple of
months and we get back with news.
Cheers,
Doru

Hi aliaksei
I thought that you were just changing the internal representation of txText to
use Ropes
and building on top of / improving txText
I did not think that you were throwing away all the work igor did. Because he
spent a lot of time
designing the text model and making it is scalable - and now I read that
apparently it was not scalable enough.
I'm wondering what will happen if suddenly you disappear: we will get two
unfinished textmodel
and use an old one? When do you think that you will have a working usable by
other for real text model?

As Doru already mentioned text editor is an important part of the tools. There
are some requirements a text editor should fulfil.
• Support of large files ( >> 100mb)
• Support of large pieces of text located in memory
• Allow developers to embed visual elements (pictures, interactive
elements, custom elements)
• Support of more sophisticated layouts rather than line-based. For
example columns.
• Line breaking
• Text wrapping
• Hyphens
• Should be fast
Tests show that TxText model is very nice for basic cases, works well for
"normal" use.
However, when it comes to extreme cases linked list of spans just fails, while
rope shows great performance - and it also scales.
Cheers,
Alex

- Added initial text support, for instance rendering and high precision
measurement.
I look at code and it seems you implemented another one new text model? Why you
not use TxText?
