Hi All,
Jean-Luc Coulon asked me about possibly developing a patch to resolve
the problem shown between languages in:
http://jean.luc.coulon.free.fr/images/format-genuine.png
http://jean.luc.coulon.free.fr/images/format-modified.png
My proposition is as follows, (and I wouldn't mind a bit of feedback on
the idea!):
Please note that I've got a few things on, so couldn't really clean the
idea up for a few weeks... (Also need to get around to fixing a little
bug that cinelerra has when going to Settings->Format, the "interlace
mode" shown isn't always the interlace mode set for that project, ..
then I need to get a patch of the interlace fixups applied to Heroine's
source)
Here's A ROUGH SKETCH what I would propose:
void BlondTheme::new_bg_get_positions(int *width, int *height, int *x1,
int *x2, int *x3, int *x4) {
char *s;
s = getenv("LANG");
if (strstr(s,"en_")) {
width = 500;
height = 700;
x1 = 20;
x2 = 60;
x3 = 120;
x4 = 180;
} else if (strstr(s,"fr_")) {
width = 600;
height = 700;
x1 = 20;
x2 = 70;
x3 = 140;
x4 = 190;
} else {
printf("Lang Test -> Don't know that language, will use english
\n");
width = 600;
height = 700;
x1 = 20;
x2 = 70;
x3 = 140;
x4 = 190;
}
}
would sit in defaulttheme.C
Then in new.C, in void NewThread::run() at the top, place:
int width, int height, int x1, int x2, int x3, int x4 ;
mwindow->theme->new_bg_get_positions(width, height, x1, x2, x3, x4);
and change:
int x = mwindow->gui->get_root_w(0, 1) / 2 - WIDTH / 2;
int y = mwindow->gui->get_root_h(1) / 2 - HEIGHT / 2;
to
int x = mwindow->gui->get_root_w(0, 1) / 2 - width / 2;
int y = mwindow->gui->get_root_h(1) / 2 - height / 2;
and also,
nwindow = new NewWindow(mwindow, this, x, y);
to
nwindow = new NewWindow(mwindow, this, x, y,width,height);
and
NewWindow::NewWindow(MWindow *mwindow, NewThread *new_thread, int x,
int y)
: BC_Window(_(PROGRAM_NAME ": New Project"),
x,
y,
WIDTH,
HEIGHT,
-1,
-1,
0,
0,
1)
to
NewWindow::NewWindow(MWindow *mwindow, NewThread *new_thread, int x, int
y, int width, int height)
: BC_Window(_(PROGRAM_NAME ": New Project"),
x,
y,
width,
height,
-1,
-1,
0,
0,
1)
and in int NewWindow::create_objects(), call
int width, int height, int x1, int x2, int x3, int x4 ;
mwindow->theme->new_bg_get_positions(width, height, x1, x2, x3, x4);
again, and ensure that the x1,x2,x3,x4 refer correctly..
That type of patch would allow the text authors to have good access to
tuning the column positions of their language. In terms of fixing the
background, I would propose modifying:
void BlondTheme::draw_new_bg(NewWindow *gui)
{
int width, int height, int x1, int x2, int x3, int x4 , int x5, x6;
new_bg_get_positions(width, height, x1, x2, x3, x4,x5,x6);
gui->draw_vframe(new_bg_topredbox, 0, 0);
gui->draw_vframe(new_bg_redcurve, x5, 0);
gui->draw_vframe(new_bg_fainttab, x1 - 3, 25);
gui->draw_vframe(new_bg_fainttabcurvedown, x2 - 13, 25);
gui->draw_vframe(new_bg_fainttabcurvedown, x2 - 13, 25);
}
Not sure if that's possible, would also checkout if draw_vframe could
streach a png (i.e. draw left edge of audio, draw streached 1-pixel
width column till the curve down...etc..)
That's how I would approach the problem, (NOTE: I haven't tried or
tested it, but that's my general approach. I don't mind doing it, but
it'll be some time before I can look into it...

Pierre

In terms of fixing the spacing, the patch that I had for neating up the
layout, I've deleted (though I think it's sitting in the mail list
somewhere) because I was told I was changing way too much, and others
desired that we keep in sync with Heroine, rather than neatifying the
code.)
