Armin Le Grand (collabora) f70a118b03 SmartArt: Undo/Redo, SubSelection, Locking of IAs
Moved creation of Undo/Redo actions for geometry changes directly
to the methods addDiagramNode/removeDiagramNode of class
DiagramHelper so that not every caller has to do that again.
Removed from DiagramDialog where that was done before.

Extended DiagramDataState which is used for SdrUndoDiagramModelData
with needed Model information. After using SdrModel/XShape data
as part of the DiagramModel it is necessary to also keep that
info when geometry gets changed. Also the current transformation
of the group hosting the Diagram is needed. Also the end state
of change in SdrUndoDiagramModelData is now late-evaluated
to get the changed state. This is needed in redo, so evaluating
this if undo is used is the thing to do.

Added a general mechanism to apply locks to the SdrObjects,
see applyLocksToDiagramObjects. It currently sets MoveProtect,
ResizeProtect and DeleteProtect. These get un-set when the
Diagram is reverted to a simple SdrObjGroup to not hinder
further editing.
There is currently no ToFront/ToBack lock or others which
may be needed. In principle all geometric changes to objects
of the Diagram need to be blocked.
Also still missing is that the BackgroundObject has no
LineAttributes, or better is not allowed to have these due
to mso only offering a FillStyle for that object. Not sure
yet how to do that.

Added a mechanism to automatically delete the buffered
original data when attributes change, see
ItemSetInformationChange. This is triggered by
AttributeProperties::ItemSetChanged, but needs to be
prevented during import (which also changes Items).

Added support to delete the SubSelected object if it
is a TextFrame. This leads to geometry change and
re-layout and also creates a Undo action now.

Attribute access to SubSelection is done in
SdrEditView::MergeAttrFromMarked/SetAttrToMarked
so that attributes can now be changed like for
regular objects.

Also some methods in SdrMarkView had to be adapted to
work with the SubSelected object.

Extended Diagram SubSelection to make tab/ShiftTab work, including
from where the Diagram is entered. Also made direct MouseKlick
work.

Added simplifications to work with Diagram stuff, some
tooling directly at SdrObject.

Due to UnitTests I reverted the decision to have all SdrObjects
in the Diagram 'flat' without Groups. That would be easier and
is what the import of MSO visualizationm replacement often uses,
but not what a reLayout creates.
Those complaining tests are the pptx ones that have no replacement
graphics (no drawing*.xml) and have to be re-layouted using our
mechanism as existing so far.
So keep groups again for now. Price is that all stuff handling
SubSelections has to use SdrObjListIter instead of SdrObjList.
That makes it somewhat more complicated, but work on a virtually
flat hierarchy of SubObjects in any case - maybe safer for the
future.

Also looked at that Locking oif SdrObjects again also due to a
test. I wanted to use the extended/newer stuff, but applying it
made the office crash. After some debugging I found that in
SdrObjList::RemoveObject the remove is *cancelled* when
SdrObject::IsDeleteProtect is set for that object. Unfortunately
that remove is due to moving the object to another target
list, so it should happen.
This is probably a relict of very old stuff, to prevent object
delettion that way (!). For now I use the fact that this happens
during import.

LibreOffice Impress / Draw Application

The core directory for the impress/draw applications.

Think of impress as a hack on top of draw.

sd module contains impress/draw specific code, non-shared UI and part of ppt and pptx filter, few other filters too.

the slideshow UI lives here as well, the slideshow engine is in slideshow module though (including the 3D transitions engine slideshow/source/engine/opengl).

the most used filters are ODF's odp, binary ppt and OOXML's pptx. their locations are listed below:

  • odp import and export filters are in xmloff module (mostly xmloff/source/draw)

  • ppt import is in sd/source/filter/ppt (big shared chunks are also in svx)

  • ppt export is in sd/source/filter/eppt (big shared chunks are also in svx)

  • pptx import is in oox/source/ppt (and uses a lot of oox/source/drawingml and oox/source/*)

  • pptx export is in sd/source/filter/eppt (mostly in pptx-* source files) and shared part is in oox/source/export

PPTX Export / Import Filters

PPTX export filter is split into 2 parts. Impress related part is in sd/source/filter/eppt/pptx-* and the other part is in oox/source/export/ because it contains mostly code related to DrawingML, which is shared with writer and calc ooxml export.

The export filter was written in 2009 IIRC and was not much extended feature-wise lately.

Presenter Console

The main screen uses a hardware-accelerated canvas (e.g. cairo canvas), while the entire secondary screen uses a VCL-canvas that is created in sd::framework::FullScreenPane::CreateCanvas().

The secondary screen contains 3 Panes which each have 2 XWindows for the border area & the actual content, and each content Pane is backed by a sd::presenter::PresenterCanvas that wraps the FullScreenPane's canvas and does clipping.

Future Works

Add custom shapes export (see below). enhance text output, we don't write text style for indentation levels now, need to export a:lvl1pPr, a:lvl2pPr, ... elements.

PPTX import was written by Sun/Oracle and then extended in LibreOffice a lot during bug fixing. It is located in oox/source/ppt and oox/source/drawingml. The areas with most bugs (at least until today) were shape placeholders and text style inheritance.
