Introducing http://code.google.com/p/qtzibit/ - Simile-widgets' "Exhibit" running locally in QtWebKit, rendering arbitrary Json data models from QML, Qt or QtMobility.
Some examples implemented in Exhibit: http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit/ With QtZibit, such apps could run locally (although the google-map-based ones require an internet connection, the timeline, timeplot, chart, visualizations don't). These can run "standalone" and the associated JavaScript is loaded in from the local filesystem, computed in QML/JavaScript/C++ or transferred from the web or local SQL datastore. QtZibit can be used to visualize arbitrary datamodels from JSON in QML, and in-turn, this JSON can be rendered via QtWebKit in Exhibit. In many ways, it duplicates or complements the "delegate"-based rendering of datamodels in Qt/QML, but uses Web-based layouts and rendering. For example, in http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/polymap/medieval-mediterranean.html , the rendered data comes from JSON elements that look like: {"id":"15 - Madonna and Child", "label":"15 - Madonna and Child", "type":"Item", "uri":"http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/polymap/item#15%20-%20Madonna%20and%20Child";, "modified":"no", "Image":"http://lh5.ggpht.com/_eb5gxCGMANM/SZ8XlfMwLiI/AAAAAAAAAGE/SbO0e2TncR0/s144/CImabueMadonna.jpg";, "Century":"13th", "Building+Name":"Church - Santa Trinita", "latlng":"43.770031,11.250994", "Medium":"gesso", "Author":"Cimabue", "Title":"Madonna and Child", "City":"Florence", "origin":"http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/polymap/medieval-mediterranean.html#15%20-%20Madonna%20and%20Child"; }, (See http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/polymap/ JSON files visualized by these these "mashups" ; other examples at http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/ ) The map elements in the "medieval mediterranean" example above are rendered by extracting ".latlng" ".polyline", etc. entities from the JSON data elements such as the one from the prior example. <div ex:role="view" id="the-map" ex:viewClass="Map" ex:center="43.76852162810477,11.252446174621582" ex:zoom="15" ex:latlng=".latlng" ex:polyline=".polyline" ex:mapHeight="600" ex:borderWidth="7" ex:borderOpacity="1" ex:overviewControl="true" ex:size="large" > </div> Exhibit also has capabilities for rendering SPARQL queries, which might be useful to combine with the existing "semantic desktop" facilities in MeeGo/Harmattan that are based on http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/ . One app that would be pretty cool for would be to geolocate all phone events onto a map, or be able to dial around & visualize all phone events on a single timeline, etc. Or similarly, automatically render thumbnails for captured media on a map or timeline based on tracker-extracted metadata. Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: For Harmattan ( http://swipe.nokia.com/ ) , it sure would be nice if someone developed an Ovi Maps plugin that worked just like the Google/OpenLayers/OpenStreetMap/VirtualEarth maps Exhibit supports currently: http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/source/browse/exhibit/trunk/src/webapp/api/extensions/map/map-extension.js PPS: Unlike the web version, a Mobile or WebKit version of Exhibit can call out from Exhibit back to QML and therefore allows invocation of C++ primitives from an Exhibit UI -- Using http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qml-webview.html#javaScriptWindowObjects-prop ... which means apps like http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Timeline/NprTimeline won't need Flash for media playback, they'll just invoke QtMultimediaKit Audio or Video players.... _______________________________________________ Qt-qml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-qml
