Michael Weghorn 6296615b8d tdf#173695 svx: Ensure minimum height for ColorWindow
The number of colors displayed in the ColorIconView
in ColorWindow depends on the selected palette.

When the popup is shown for the first time, its
size is calculated based on the size of the
widgets it contains, and the size of the weld::IconView
used for ColorIconView is in turn based on the number
of colors in the initial palette.

If the initial palette has few (or no) colors,
switching to a palette with many colors results
in the need for the weld::IconView to use more
space than previously to show the additional items,
but since the popup doesn't resize, it remains at
its initial size and the selection of colors is
inconvenient or even impossible.

Avoid the problem by ensuring the ColorIconView
has a minimum height of at least 200 pixels.

Before the switch to ColorIconView in

        tdf#130857 Port ColorWindow from SvxColorValueSet to ColorIconView

, the SvxColorValueSet widget in use previously
was always set to a fixed size altogether.

Graphics Related Helper Code

Contains graphics related helper code. Lots of the draw and impress code is in this shared library.

  • xoutdev

    this is where a lot of the work would happen to move to the canvas. (what does that mean?)

  • svdraw

    transparent gradient stuff. [seriously? surely much more, too]

SdrObject

The shapes you can see in LibreOffice (like rectangle, etc.) are SdrObjects. They are declared as a hierarchy:

SdrObject <- SdrAttrObj <- E3dObject <- E3dCompoundObject <- E3dCubeObj
    ^ ^ ^             ^            ^              | | ^ ^
    | | |             |            |              | | | +--- E3dExtrudeObj
    | | |             |            |              | | +----- E3dLatheObj
    | | |             |            |              | +------- E3dPolygonObj
    | | |             |            |              +--------- E3dSphereObj
    | | |             |            +--- E3dScene...
    | | |             |
    | | |             +--- SdrTextObj <- SdrObjCustomShape...
    | | |                   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
    | | |                   | | | | +--- SdrEdgeObj...
    | | |                   | | | +----- SdrMeasureObj...
    | | |                   | | +------- SdrPathObj...
    | | |                   | +--------- SdrRectObj...
    | | |                   +----------- SdrTableObj...
    | | +--- SdrObjGroup...
    | + ---- SdrPageObj...
    +------- SdrVirtObj...

The above is incomplete of course.

SdrModel / SdrView

Copied from svdview.hxx:

First of all the app creates a SdrModel. Then it opens a Win and creates a SdrView. ShowSdrPage() announces a page at SdrView. It's possible to show SdrView in any Wins at once.

SdrView can show as many Wins as it wants at once. Pages are announced or checked out with the help of ShowSdrPage()/HideSdrPage(). For every announced page there is a SdrPageView instance in container aPages. If more than one page is showed, you have to pay attention that the offset parameter of ShowSdrPage() is conformed to the size of the page (to prevent overlapping of two pages).

SdrView itself is inherited from many objects in a chain of inheritance (all that starts with SdrPaintView - that is itself inherited from few classes too):

SdrPaintView <- SdrSnapView <- SdrMarkView <- SdrEditView <- SdrPolyEditView
                                                                 ^
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
|
SdrGlueEditView <- SdrObjEditView <- SdrExchangeView <- SdrDragView
                                                                 ^
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
|
SdrCreateView <- SdrView

From SdrView on, it is not flat, but a real hierarchy again.

For SdrObjects, there are own DrawingLayer primitives in svx/source/sdr/primitive2d

The ViewContact / ViewObject / ViewObjectContact are in svx/source/sdr/contact Decomposes the SdrObjects, and does all sort of operations on them.

If the number of visualizable objects (e.g. SdrObjects) is X, and the number of SdrViews is Y, then:

  • there are X ViewContact instances (1:1 relation with a visualizable object)
  • there are Y ObjectContact instances (1:1 relation with an SdrView)
  • there are X*Y ViewObjectContact instances (1:N relation to both visualizable objects and SdrViews)
