Would it be possible to implement a shape-editor with GoDiagram?
That’s been done before. It will be even easier in the next release with the additional functionality that will be new in version 3. However, as before, GoDiagram does not impose any expectations or provide any implementations regarding storage formats and organization of shapes, since that can be very application-specific.
Just with the existing (2.6) release, it is pretty easy to create tools that allow the user to draw an open (a GoStroke) or a closed (GoPolygon) shape, and then reshape it. See, for example, the StrokeDrawingTool or the PolygonDrawingTool example classes in Demo1. Those could be made to draw Bezier curves too, instead of straight lines.
You would then add some facility for adding and removing points (segments) of those strokes/polygons/polybeziers. And you could add tools for specifying the brush and pen properties, if that is desired in your application. Northwoods.Go.Draw provides a start on Controls for that purpose, but we will be providing more and better Controls in version 3.
Hi,
Hi any ideas on a shape editor at this stage or just a bit of guidance how to approach a shape editor for GoDrawing?<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I started something along these lines a while back (as part of DrawDemo). But it never got finished.
I’ll email you a copy of the project as it sits.
