Type: Effort
State: in progress
Convert all applications from the old VCL OutputDevice-based rendering to the UNO XCanvas API.
Motivation
Get rid of the Win16 GDI-based concepts deeply ingrained in VCL OutputDevice. Make use of an API that has low impedance towards contemporary graphics APIs (Quartz, Java Graphics2D, OpenGL, DirectX).
Work already done
- Impress slideshow
- (80 percent of) Draw/Impress edit view
Problems
- Lots of places to change
- Maintaining layout compatibility in Writer
