For example, a first level of nesting could be - "Company" and a second level would be "Country" the result is - a 2-level tree that can be collapsed expanded and contains the - information sorted/grouped by those two criteria. - - The user interface for this will be copied from Outlook: the - possibility of adding and removing fields with drag and drop - as well as grouping using drag and drop. - -* The Mail system - -** The Mail sources - - The mail system will support 4 sources of mail: - - POP3 (transfer to a local file). - IMAP - Local mbox format in $MAIL. - Local mbox format that have other delivery points. - - On top of that, it will be possible to browse existing mbox - archives (and possibly other formats in the future, like - Mailbox and Maildir). - -** Storing the mail - - Mail that gets incorporated into the system is stored in mbox - format, and summary files are provided for quick access to the - files. No modifications to the file on disk is performed (I - am not quite sure about this, perhaps we want to add the - status flags and some method for adding metadata to the mail). - - Summary files are rebuilt on demand or rebuild if the mbox - file and the summary file have got out of sync. - - A Metadata system that will enable us to attach information to - a message will have to be designed and implemented (enabling - users to add annotations to mails, and special keywords and - flags in a per-message fashion). - -** Folders - - Michael Zucchi is working on a system that will let users - easily define rules for splitting their incoming mail into - physical folders. - - A further refinement to Folders are Virtual Folders. This - basically provides a powerful search and viewing facility for - mail. It works like this: when a mail is "incorporated" into - Evolution it is scanned and indexed. - - Then users can enter queries into Evolution that will search - the entire database of messages. - -** Virtual folders - - Virtual folders will enable users to read/browse their mail in - new ways: by specifying search criterias, these folders will - contain messages that match the criteria given. - - There is more information about this in the libcamel - directory. - - We will index all headers from a message, and possible the - contents of messages and keep those on a separate file, to - enable users to query their mail database. - -** Mail summary display - - The summary will be displayed using the ETable package, to - enable users to add a number of sorting criteria and various - display methods for the summary view. - - The Outlook methods for displaying will be present on the - system. - - Message threading will be supported in Evolution. - -** Message display engine - - We are going to be using a combination of - libcamel/limime/libjamie to parse messages and render them - into an HTML buffer. - -* The HTML engine - - The GtkHTML engine will be used to display messages, and will - be extended to support a number of features that we require: - internal handling of characters will be based on Unicode - -* The message composer - - Regular features found in composers will be added: connecting - the composer to the address book, support for drag and drop - for including attachments, editing the message, archiving - drafts and archiving messages sent. - - Ettore has been working on adding editing support to the - GtkHTML and he is working currently on a Bonobo component that - will provide a ready-to-use Bonobo control for embedding into - other applications. - diff --git a/doc/Makefile.am b/doc/Makefile.am deleted file mode 100644 index 7b5420fee8..0000000000 --- a/doc/Makefile.am +++ /dev/null @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -SUBDIRS = C devel diff --git a/doc/devel/.cvsignore b/doc/devel/.cvsignore deleted file mode 100644 index c24a54fbcc..0000000000 --- a/doc/devel/.cvsignore +++ /dev/null @@ -1,4 +0,0 @@ -Makefile -Makefile.in -html -evolution-devel-guide.html diff --git a/doc/devel/ChangeLog b/doc/devel/ChangeLog deleted file mode 100644 index c13966da75..0000000000 --- a/doc/devel/ChangeLog +++ /dev/null @@ -1,15 +0,0 @@ -2000-07-17 Federico Mena Quintero <federico@helixcode.com> - - * calendar/cal-client/tmpl/cal-client.sgml: Populated. - - * evolution-devel-guide.sgml: New <book> toplevel for the - Evolution Developer's Guide. - - * calendar/evolution-calendar.sgml: New <part> for the calendar - developer's documentation. - - * calendar/architecture.sgml: New <chapter> for the calendar - architecture. - - * calendar/reference.sgml: New <reference> for the calendar API - reference. diff --git a/doc/devel/Makefile.am b/doc/devel/Makefile.am deleted file mode 100644 index 63f190c190..0000000000 --- a/doc/devel/Makefile.am +++ /dev/null @@ -1,64 +0,0 @@ -SUBDIRS = calendar - -# The name of the module. -DOC_MODULE=evolution-devel-guide - -# The top-level SGML file. -DOC_MAIN_SGML_FILE=evolution-devel-guide.sgml - -HTML_DIR=$(datadir)/gnome/html - -TARGET_DIR=$(HTML_DIR)/$(DOC_MODULE) - -evolution_devel_guidedir = $(HTML_DIR) -evolution_devel_guide_DATA = \ - evolution-devel-guide.html - -content_files = \ - evolution-devel-guide.sgml - -EXTRA_DIST = \ - $(evolution_devel_guide_DATA) \ - $(content_files) - -if ENABLE_GTK_DOC -evolution-devel-guide.html: html/book1.html - -cd $(srcdir) && cp html/book1.html evolution-devel-guide.html -else -evolution-devel-guide.html: -endif - -html/book1.html: $(content-files) - $(MAKE) html - -html: - test -d $(srcdir)/html || mkdir $(srcdir)/html - -cd $(srcdir)/html && gtkdoc-mkhtml $(DOC_MODULE) ../$(DOC_MAIN_SGML_FILE) - -clean-local: - rm -f *~ *.bak *.signals *-unused.txt - -maintainer-clean-local: clean - cd $(srcdir) && rm -rf html - -install-data-local: - $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(TARGET_DIR) - (installfiles=`echo $(srcdir)/html/*.html`;

It is intended to provide - all the table functionality needed throughout &Evolution;, and - hopefully be general purpose enough to be used in other projects. - </para> - - <para> - &ETable; provides a lot of interactive control over the data in the - table. Without any work from the programmer, &ETable; provides - rearrangeable columns and editable data. When finished, &ETable; will - also provide, again with no programmer intervention, easy interactive - sorting and grouping. - </para> - - <para> - &ETable; gives you a great deal of functionality, flexibility, and - power. Most of this power is internal to the widget, but some of - the flexibility requires a bit of work by the programmer. - However, once you learn it, &ETable; is not very hard at all to - use. - </para> - - <para> - &ETable;'s power comes from the fact that it is fully - model/view/controller based. Various models are involved into - the process of rendering the information, and various views are - provided. The programmer has a wide range of options: from the - most finely hand-tuned table to a generic all-encompasing widget - that takes over most of tasks. It is up to the programmer: he - can use the simple to use &ETable; widget that takes care of - everything in a generic way, or he can use the various - components to roll his own tabular display. - </para> - - <para> - &ETable; ships with a standard set of information renderers: - strings, bitmaps, toggle-buttons, check-boxes, and multi-line - strings. But the programmer can write and implement his own - renderer for his information. This means that by default - &ETable; provides the basic display facilities that programmers - required, but they offer the programmer a complete freedom to - incorporate new cell renderers. - </para> - - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="model"> - <title>ETableModel</title> - - <para> - The data back end for the &ETable; is an &ETableModel;. The - &ETableModel is an abstract interface that acts as the - information repository for the various &ETable components. - </para> - - <para> - To use &ETable; you have to create a subclass of the abstract - &ETableModel; class. However, to save you the work of defining - a new <classname>GtkClass</classname> every time you use - &ETable, there is a predefined subclass of &ETableModel; called - &ETableSimple; which simply takes a list of function callbacks - to perform the various operations. - </para> - - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="columns"> - <title>Columns</title> - - <para> - There are two different meanings to the word "column". The first - is the model column (defined by the &ETableCol: object). A model - column describes how it maps to the column in the &ETableModel; - as well as containing information about its properties (name, - resizability, resize dimensions, and a renderer for this - specific columns). - </para> - - <para> - &ETable; distinguishes between a model column index, and a view - column index. The former reflects the column in which the data - is stored in the &ETableModel; The later represents the actual - location at which the column is being displayed in the screen. - </para> - - <para> - Each view column index corresponds to a specific model column, - though a model column may have any number of view columns - associated with it (including zero). For example the same - column might be rendered twice, or the data from one column - could be used to display different bits of information - </para> - - <para> - The view column does not necessarily depend on only one model - column. In some cases, the view column renderer can be given a - reference to another model column to get extra information about - its display. For example, a mail program could display deleted - messages with a line through them by creating a model column - with no corresponding view column that told whether or not the - message is deleted, and then having the text column - strikethrough the display if the invisible column had a value - corresponding to "deleted". - </para> - - <para> - The view column also specifies a few other pieces of - information. One piece of information is the renderer. &ETable; - provides a number of renderers to choose from, or you can write - your own. Currently, there are renderers for text, image sets, - and checkboxes. - </para> - - <para> - The view column also includes information about the header. - There are two types of headers: text, and pixbuf. The first - allows you to specify a string which is rendered in the header. - The second allows you to specify an image to copy into the - header. - </para> - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="header"> - <title>Header</title> - - <para> - The &ETableHeader; represents the header information for the - table. The &ETableHeader; is used in two different ways. The - first is the in the <structfield>full_header</structfield> - element of an &ETable;. This is the list of possible columns in - the view. You add each of your columns to this &ETableHeader; - and then pass it into the &ETable;. - </para> - - <para> - The second use is completely internal. &ETable; uses another - &ETableHeader; to store the actual displayed columns. Many of - the &ETableHeader; functions are for this purpose. The only - functions that users of the library should need to use are - <function>e_table_header_new</function> and - <function>e_table_header_add_col</function>. - </para> - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="layout"> - <title>Layout Specification</title> - - <para> - &ETable; uses an &ETableSpecification; to layout the columns of - the widget. The &ETableSpecification; is specified as XML data - passed into the &ETable; as a string. - </para> - - <para> - The most powerful part of the &ETableSpecification; is that when - finished, &ETable; will allow you to get a copy of an - &ETableSpecification; that describes the current view of the - tree. This allows the developer to save the current view so that - next time the user opens this table, they find it in exactly the - state that they left it. - </para> - - <para> - The XML specification allows for a number of things. First, it - allows you to pick a set of default columns to be shown. Thus, - even if you had hundreds of pieces of data, you could choose to - only display a few that fit on the screen by default. - </para> - - <para> - The second major thing that the &ETableSpecification; allows you - to specify is the column grouping and sorting. &ETable; has a - powerful mechanism for allowing the user to choose columns to - group by, thus allowing multiple columns of sorting, as well as - visual grouping of similar elements and interactive selection of - what data to display. - </para> - - <para> - The grouping in &ETableSpecification; is specified as a - hierarchy of columns to group by. Each level of the hierarchy - lets you sort by a particular column, either ascending or - descending. All levels except the last cause the canvas to group - by the given column. - </para> - - <para> - An example &ETableSpecification; follows. - </para> - - <programlisting> - <ETableSpecification> - <columns-shown frozen_columns="2"> - <column> 0 </column> - <column> 1 </column> - <column> 2 </column> - <column> 3 </column> - <column> 4 </column> - </columns-shown> - <grouping> - <group column="3" ascending="1"> - <group column="4" ascending="0"> - <leaf column="2" ascending="1"/> - </group> - </group> - </grouping> - </ETableSpecification> - </programlisting> - - <para> - This example has 5 columns which are initially in order. It has - 2 levels of grouping. The first is grouped by the 4th column - (all indexes are 0 based) and sorts those groups in ascending - order. Inside those groups, the data is grouped by the fifth - column and sorted in descending order of the fifth column. - Finally, the data in those groups is sorted by the third column - in ascending order. Due to the "frozen_columns" attribute on the - columns-shown element, the user will not be - able to rearrange the first two columns. They will always be the - first two. - </para> - </sect1> - - <sect1 id="conclusion"> - <title>Conclusion</title> - - <para> - All in all, &ETable; is a very powerful widget. Once you learn - to use it, you have access to a vast amount of power requiring a - comparatively small amount of work. - </para> - </sect1> -</article> |
