New Object and Layer Property Handling
|
Today I finished a next major step towards the next release of Y.A.P.R.M. with the new GTKmm based interface. Now every object can be edited again. But with a new simplified design. In previous versions you first had to click in the menu than select the objects and than enter the data in the pop up windows that showed. These are many many clicks and often the property window was in your way to see the right part. In the new version you just click on the object you like to edit and the object property sheet lets you enter the data. The same holds for the layer editing process. The new screen shot I just uploaded should give you an impression of the new feature.
With this feature in place you can already model and manipulate your scenes with the the GTK Y.A.P.R.M. The only missing point for the final 0.7 release are now to get the object control points working again. This should not be the big issue. The only point here is to support undo and redo. Than there are some minor issues left like enabling undo redo for all actions in the layer tree and correctly update the viewports.
So for all of you how like to see how far I am already check out the lates version from the SVN. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy,
Alil

The menu of the new Y.A.P.R.M. is finished. It provides you with the same functionality available in Y.A.P.R.M. 0.6.6 with the main extension that all menu actions that lead to a scene change can be undone and redone. I'm pretty proud of this implementation.
The only thing that is left before the GTK version of Y.A.P.R.M. can go into the test phase is the editing of object properties. I'm targeting a new approach which should make it easier to edit object properties, which I hope you will like. Today I drafted the first ideas how to tackle the problem. Lets see how it turns it.
For all how like to have a sneak preview on the new Y.A.P.R.M. please check out the latest version from SVN.
Enjoy,

The work on the new version of
Y.A.P.R.M. is progresseing. I just finished the object creators. This
allows that all objects that have been supported by version 0.6.6 can
again be created. So it is coming to a stage where it is again
usable. What is even better I started also to work on undo and redo
and for the object creation the undo and redo is already working. The
next steps are to get the edit menu up and running and the last main
step will be the object property editing. However I still have to
think a little on how this should be done in the new Y.A.P.R.M. A key
point is to improve usabilty and reduce the amount of clicks and
mouse move that where necesssary in the old version. Any suggestions
are warmly welcome.
If you like to peek on the new
Y.A.P.R.M. Feel free to check it out from SVN and let me know what
you think.
Enjoy,
Alil

Today I complete a major milestone
towards a first working gtkmm version of Y.A.P.R.M.: I completed the
work on the tree view used for navigating and editing the layer
structure of the scene. The next step will focus on the object
creation. However, currently I'm still not sure if I want to have
this the same way as the old Y.A.P.R.M. or if I would like to have it
differently. Suggestions are warmly welcome.
Enjoy,
Alil

In the last week I came across some libraries providing an easy support for mouse gestures. I furthermore heard that several CAD tools use mouse gestures in order to improve the useability and speed of the drawing process. I found this idea rather interesting. So I like to ask you what do you think? Please show your opinion in the new poll I just added.
Thanks,
Alil
