There already exists one ("PrintLayout") from SIGLE. But we do need more functionality and it turned out that PrintLayout is kept entirely in french (comments, variables and method names) which makes it really hard to maintain internationally. Another reason is that the data strucure is flat while for a more complex layout tool you need a DOM like tree structure. So, the basic plan is to develop a DOM based data model to manage the objects of the layout. This is accompanied with a interface to GUI methods (like drawing a rectangle) and to export methods (e.g. PDF). We will implement this framework as well as some GUI methods and a PDF export. We have not worked out the very details, so we are open to any suggestions, needs, hints, ... Background of this development is a small commercial contract we received. We hope to make the tool as generally helpful as possible. Any joined efford is welcome. The main activity phase for the framework will be december and for the features in january to february.
