Analysis

Overview

User should be able to manipulate main character format options(bold, italic, underlined etc.) from the halo menu, that appears automatically when the focus is set to a text content. Also this settings should be accessible from detached text frame editor menu.
There should be a character settings hud that is evoked from text halo menu. It should provide control over all character settings.

Task requirements

  • Create a prototype for character settings hud.
  • Provide accessible interface for all settings.
  • Provide easy way for development of sub tasks (TEXT_CHAR_* and TEXT_FONTS_* listed in the related section).

Task result

  • The result should be code.

Implementation idea

  • Use javax.swing.text.StyleConstants class to provide needed styles.
  • Currently there is a select font dialog that appears(org.sophie2.main.dialogs.input.FontChooserDialogInput) triggered directly from org.sophie2.main.view.logic.frame.frameLogic. You may need to refacture this.
  • Here is a scheme how character settings hud could look like

source:trunk/sophie2-platform/doc/userdoc-images/RELEASE_5/textSettingsHud.jpg

TEXT_CHAR_SPACING_R0
TEXT_CHAR_COLOR_R0
TEXT_CHAR_SPACE_OVERLAP_R0
TEXT_CHAR_STYLE_FLAGS_R0
TEXT_FONTS_SUPPORT_R0
TEXT_FONTS_INTERFACE_R0

TEXT_HALO_MENU_R0
DETACHED_TEXT_FRAME_EDITOR_R0

How to demo

  • Run the application
  • Create a new book and place text frame inside
  • Populate some lorem ipsum text inside with a number of paragraphs(lorem ipsum generator --> http://www.lipsum.com/)
  • Open character settings hud and see if you can adjust some settings
