Progress is slow, lack of time and lack of documentation for either eclipse fragments or the zest viewer toolkit doesn't make it easy to work out how to get stuff working. There aren't a lot of zest examples either (but then again, I've been fixing an ActiveX control at work, talk about lack of documentation and decent examples!)
I have got it building and loading as a fragment now (fragments are nice way to add an optional bit to an existing plugin). Still working out layout algorithm(s). I haven't really got one I like yet. The attached screenshot has been partly manually laid out. The menu has zoom levels in it (the image is at 75%) and the "Goto Changeset ..." (need an icon) button scrolls the view with the selected changeset centered. There will be some other buttons for other stuff such as selecting a range of changesets to plot, etc. The popup menus from the nodes (update to changeset, history, etc..) are not done yet. I also need to add navigation to the links (each time you click scrolls you to one end or the other). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MercurialEclipse" group.
