Hi Frank,
Has the UI spec for the timezone widget been done? I found some
informations from the UI spec of slim08. But there are still a lot of
things unclear.
1. I need the picture of the map with which I can translate (longitude,
latitude) to (x, y) on the picture. Currently, I am using the picture
from evolution to develop my prototype.
2. The size of the picture. Is it big enough for the user to find out
the city he want? If not, what should I do, zoom in and provide H/V
scroll bars?
3. Now we use region/location/timezone to choose a timezone. These
informations come from
get_tz_continents/get_tz_countries/get_timezones_by_country system
calls. But I can not get longitude/latitude using these system calls. In
my prototype, I read these information
from /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/tab/zone_sun.tab. But I can not get
region/location from the file. So I wonder if we should still use
region/location/timezone to choose a timezone. (I can get timezone from
the zone_sub.tab and I think I can parse continent from timezone
string.)
4. Details about the widget, like:
What should the tooltip look like?
What should the points on the map looks like?
...
Regards,
Jedy
