View source for Mac OS X Porting - Work Areas/Todo's

This page is intended to serve as a living ToDo list for the OpenOffice.org Mac OS X port. To keep things simple it contains the ToDos for both the X11 version and the upcoming Aqua version of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X. The page is divided into different work areas which either assigned to a person in charge or are unassigned yet. Below each area there is a detailed list of todos which has to be maintained by the respective people himself.
Persons who are in charge of a certain area are responsible for keeping their respective part of the page up-to-date.

Description:

'''OpenOffice.org side''': 

AquaSalPrinter class is located in aqua/source/gdi/salprn.cxx

Headers are in:
 vcl/inc/salinst.hxx 
 vcl/inc/salgdi.hxx  
 vcl/inc/salprn.hxx

 Aqua implementation:
 aqua/inc/salprn.h (AquaSalPrinter class implementation, inherits from SalPrinter)


'''Mac OS X API side''':

Todo: implement missing methods, using Carbon API

salatslayout.cxx License origin is justified here: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23283]

'''OpenOffice.org side''': 

See : [[Mac OS X Porting - Native Fonts]]
 
 Carbon API implementation (binding) is made in salatslayout.cxx

ATS and ATSUI starting point: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ATS_Concepts/atsfonts_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html

Apple's starting page leading to deeper docs: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/TextFonts/Typography-date.html

'''Todo-list for native font implementation:'''
 
 - missing methods (to be implemented):

 '''bool ATSLayout::GetGlyphOutlines()'''
 '''ATSLayout::InitFont()'''
 '''ATSLayout::MoveGlyph()'''
 '''ATSLayout::DropGlyph()'''
 '''ATSLayout::Simplify()'''

 - Fix known bugs:
  MultiLine does not work (writer cannot be used, because)
  Bad keyboard/charset ? (missig chars)
  When redrawing, everything is redrawn using the most little font size -> even the dialog boxes on menu bars
  Bad values returned 

 - Implement MultiSalLayout
 - Complete implementation  
 - read Apple API [ Work in progress]
 - describe current implementation: organisation / design [work in progress]
 - design of new implementation [FIXME] find examples

Estimation of code remaining to write ~40 %

'''Done''' (mainly Stephan Schaefer, with initial salatslayout.cxx file written by Herbert Duerr)

'''Work in progress''' : understand MultiSalLayout

'''Resources''': use sample code to test/initialize ATS server (using e.g. ATSUIDirectAccessDemo)
