Project description
A cross-browser drawing editor based on dojox.gfx.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dependencies:
dijit (Toolbar, Button, Slider)
dojox.gfx
dojox.xml
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation
Currently, 5 shapes are supported: line, single arrow line, double arrow line,
underline text and text. The first 3 shapes can have optinal text associated.
Shapes can be added, deleted, moved and modified. All of these operations can
be undo-ed or redo-ed.
TODO:
* provide UI to change various properties on shapes (fill, stroke, text) and
allow changing of background image
* serialize/unserialize in dojox.gfx to svg (and maybe vml as well?) (or another
simplier format? such as a json based one, which is easier to parse, and then
write a convertor to convert the json format to svg or any other format?)
* Move mousedown/up/move to each shape (to prepare for the following)
* Add shapes for other primitive shapes (needs to decide which primitive
dojox.gfx.shapes are useful), and add in support for user to group any
shapes/groups to form a single "compound shape" (need to add support to set
fill/stroke properties on the entire compound shape, which shallpropagate to
all children shapes)
