Re: Student Project
Hi Deborah, Deborah Digges schrieb: Hi Regina, I looked through the documentation you sent me, but I wasn't able to figure out where exactly to start. Could you please help me out? The code is indeed huge. But you can mimic the solutions you see for rectangles and ellipses. And therefore you should look how it is done for them. You get an overview of the code in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories. It is not up-to-date, but in most parts are still valid. The sister project LibreOffice has some similar information in http://docs.libreoffice.org/ Although they made some changes in the structure most parts are still the same as in Apache OpenOffice. Besides searching in your local copy of the code you can use OpenGrok http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org Very useful is the 'File Path' field to restrict the search. You can enter a part of a path or you can exclude some paths from the search with a NOT before it. === Such new feature has several aspects, some are necessary, some are not needed in the beginning. Necessary: Read it from file. Keep the information. Write the information back to file. Next step would be to show the shape on screen. I'm not sure whether parts of the API are needed in the beginning. Not necessary in the beginning: - Making an UI to generate the shape. For example OpenOffice has no UI to generate a custom shape. To test a new shape you can always easily write it into the file manually, using an editor. - Having an import and export filter to foreign formats like pptx. - Implementing the API for using the shape in macros (not sure, see above). === Reading and writing to file is done in code part 'xmloff'. Most methods there are generic and will do the right things automatically. You will find some specific parts in e.g. classes SdXML..ShapeContext. Shapes are implemented as "Primitive". Such primitive can decompose itself into polylines, which can be drawn directly. Please look, how it is done for rectangle and ellipse in modul svx, e.g in main/svx/inc/svx/sdr/primitive2d and main/svx/source/sdr/primitive2d/. The lower parts of this decomposition is done in module basegfx, e.g. in b2dpolygontools.cxx Shapes are defined as Unitshapes and scaled to the desired size by using a transformation. There you will actually define the outline of the shape. Do you know the involved mathematics? The shape related classes are organized hierarchical. This hierarchy determines, where an attribute is introduced. Find a diagram in http://docs.libreoffice.org/svx/html/classSdrObject.html Or look at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/branches/alg/aw080/main/svx/inc/svx/svdobj.hxx?view=markup around line 285. [The branch aw080 contains ongoing improvement work in Draw, for example change from integer to double and change to always use transformation matrices. The owner of this branch is Armin, our Draw expert.] I hope this will help you to find relevant parts.

For this period of time, and due to the complexity of the code base, you might be interested in something more self-contained, like a "Content Provider" or a data base driver; for example, you can take the idea of a CMIS Content Provider that was part of a Google Summer of Code that wasn't completed; searching the mailing list for the subject CMIS you can find several mails http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.incubator-ooo.dev+subject%3Acmis and the extension skeleton at http://people.apache.org/~arielch/extensions/CMISContentProvider.zip As you'll see, a "Content Provider" can be developed as an extension, there is no need for you to learn nor modify OpenOffice source code.

Two easy issues that I just filed are here: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125583 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125584 If you wish to take care of those, just assign them to you (you will need to register for Bugzilla if you haven't already). Feel free to ask here for any clarifications. I have completed the build and install, and have also taken a look at the architecture. To fix the above, it will be handy for you to configure with --with-package-format=installed ; so you will save the time that would be spent in creating DEB packages (assuming your build was done with the default options applying to Ubuntu). If you do come across a project that has the needed mix of mentors, I'd be glad to be a part of it. We could find something nice.

Hi Deborah, It is great you finished the build and install so quickly; which version of Ubuntu are you using? Thanks, Amali.

Re: Student Project
Thank you for your help and time; I will take a look at the issues and try to solve some of them. I have completed the build and install, and have also taken a look at the architecture. If you do come across a project that has the needed mix of mentors, I'd be glad to be a part of it.

Historically the OpenOffice builds were done with command line. But now more use of IDEs. We can provide more information about this at some point. > * I know git, but am not very experienced with it. I have worked briefly > with perforce. OK.

You and your team might take a look at the following developer information found in Developer Documentation: * the Building Guide -- https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO * OpenOffice Architecture -- https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Architecture * OpenOffice Development -- https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OfficeDev/Office_Development We will try to get back to you with some project ideas by the end of the week (Friday) -- maybe even specifically related to Ubuntu.

Re: Student Project
Hello, It's great to hear from you! * We work primarily on unix machines - ubuntu specifically. IDEs we have worked on include Eclipse, NetBeans and Aptana studio. * I know git, but am not very experienced with it. I have worked briefly with perforce. * The course evaluation would be in the beginning of December, so that gives us time till the end of November to complete the project. If there is any more information I could provide you with, I'd be more than glad to. I'll be going through the link you've mentioned shortly. Once again, thank you for your response.
