------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dojox.sketch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 0.1 Release date: 28/01/2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project state: experimental ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits Contributed by TeamPatent (supported by National Science Foundation grant 638334) Tom Trenka (ttrenka@gmail.com) Heng Liu/LiuCougar (heng@teampatent.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project description A cross-browser drawing editor based on dojox.gfx. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dependencies: dijit (Toolbar, Button, Slider) dojox.gfx dojox.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Documentation Currently, 5 shapes are supported: line, single arrow line, double arrow line, underline text and text. The first 3 shapes can have optinal text associated. Shapes can be added, deleted, moved and modified. All of these operations can be undo-ed or redo-ed. TODO: * provide UI to change various properties on shapes (fill, stroke, text) and allow changing of background image * serialize/unserialize in dojox.gfx to svg (and maybe vml as well?) (or another simplier format? such as a json based one, which is easier to parse, and then write a convertor to convert the json format to svg or any other format?) * Move mousedown/up/move to each shape (to prepare for the following) * Add shapes for other primitive shapes (needs to decide which primitive dojox.gfx.shapes are useful), and add in support for user to group any shapes/groups to form a single "compound shape" (need to add support to set fill/stroke properties on the entire compound shape, which shallpropagate to all children shapes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation instructions Install dijit, dojox.gfx and dojox.xml first Grab the following from the Dojo SVN Repository: http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/var/src/dojo/dojox/trunk/sketch.js http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/var/src/dojo/dojox/trunk/sketch/* Install into the following directory structure: /dojox/sketch/ ...which should be at the same level as your Dojo checkout. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
