More shapes on PGF

March 30th, 2007

I am working hard to integrate all I have done for NeoMeeting.

Today the framework includes:
  • Rectangle
  • Circle
  • Ellipse
  • Polygon

And everything works in VML, SVG and canvas!! With unit tests and documentation.

More is coming….

    Great job ! Do you plan to add text shape and shape selection ? Those are the two items that makes me choose dojo gfx for the moment.

  2. seb Says:

    Yes of course, Shape selection is almost done and shape edition too. As I am a little bit bored to fight with VML and IE, the next release (really soon) will be SVG only but with shape selection/edition. Dojo has text shape? I have to look at it again :) Seb

    It’s present in the nightly builds.

  4. seb Says:

    Thanks Strass. Any example of text shape and shape selection with Dojo?

  5. Strass Says:

    A presentation made entirely with the Dojotoolkit (no shape selection) : http://sitepen.com/talks/ajaxworldeast2007/

    And in the Dojo nightly builds, there’s a demo called “clock” where you can grab the hands of it (I suppose it can be called “shape selection”).

  7. seb Says:

    Thanks a lot Strass for your messages. I did not notice that clock was able to select shape. They should change the name :) Dojo is really a nice GFX toolkit, I am impressed. My goal is not to redo all they do but something lighter to fit my needs (and may be more if people contribute to it)

    Shape selecction is of course a feature I will add and text too.

    @seb

    In fact, what I really miss, is the Prototype feeling (or the jQuery feeling). That’s why I’m very interested in PGF :)
