Education Project/Effort/Math baseline alignment/Discover starmath

Page Needs restructuring

Right now main calculations (and only calculations are at): SmRect::BuildRect function

         nBaseline         = aFM.GetAscent();
         nAlignT           = nBaseline - nFontHeight * 750L / 1000L;
         nAlignM           = nBaseline - nFontHeight * 121L / 422L;
                 // that's where the horizontal bars of '+', '-', ... are
                 // (1/3 of ascent over baseline)
                 // (121 = 1/3 of 12pt ascent, 422 = 12pt fontheight)
         nAlignB           = nBaseline;

This is lone info about calculations happening till now.

TODO: Will need to list down cases where these calculations are made.

While setting break point at every test_baseline and writing an expression 'a over b = c' we can learn the flow of starmath module. Backtrace:

This page is a draft, and contains a short description of starmath module

inc -> contains al includes prj -> build.lst, d.lst qa -> does contain one unoapi directory FIXME : role ?

sdi -> role ? for menus creation ?

source : the main directory, containing .hxx .src and .cxx

Q: what is obsolete ?

in source

action.cxx : undo, redo, repeat / wip

cfgitem.hxx relative to fonts attributes, and sizes / to be verified

commands.src : does contain the menu entries. // reminder : add l/r_bar_arrow

config.cxx : SmConfig class implementation

detreg.cxx role ? // FIXME

dialog.cxx : everything dialogs, link with vcl/sfx2

Classes : SmAlignDialog : exact role ?

document.cxx :

SmDocShell::ArrangeFormula() -> usefull ?

SmDocShell::UpdateText() -> usefull too ?

SmEditWindow::DataChanged -> i.e.

format.cxx : all formating stuff for fonts

mathml .cxx /.hxx : uff ... needs more info  :)

mathtype.cxx:

SM <-> MathType conversion

math glyphs handling ?

arrays: containing unicode correspondance list, aSelectorList, aIntegralOpt ..,

StarMath to Unicode conversion

! strange conditional breaks inside switch()
