I like the suggestion of SVG graphics, especially as the SVG standard has official room for customisation which may be useful.  I would be happy to build up a library of graphics, if that meets with approval. I read the wikipedia entry on that. Okay, so it's an XML format... I have not been

Would you propose a migration from the mailing list to the Yahoo group? Or would the Yahoo group start as more of a user-space? On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 10:44 PM, David Briscoe da...@djsbriscoe.vispa.com wrote: Hi, The point of the group would be to make Ktechlab more visible and possibly

It looks as though Julian is already working on the SVGs so I guess I'd risk duplicating work? Nope. I just created some examples for testing purposes to start with the logic behind these SVGs and visualise them in a QGraphicsScene. Okay, so shall I do both graphics and code customisation?

moin, I want to separate this discussion from the original thread. Here is, what I have in mind, when thinking about how the visualisation of components should work: First there is a circuit. It is represented in a CircuitDocument, which can be saved and loaded from disk (in form of some

Sounds good. Just a note about the voltage/current visualization: considering the fact that the rectangles displaying the voltages will be redrawn many times per second, we should consider there the drawing performance. Maybe a simple class showing only that rectangle could be useful.

[Ktechlab-devel] Source repository: git or mercurial or other?

2009-11-17 Thread Zoltan Padrah
The topic in the subject should be also discussed. I've never worked yet with either one, but SVN has some shortcomings -- for example is hard to track code changes. Compatibility with KDE could be a bonus. Julian worked with git on kde4 port. Note, comments, opinions?

I'm just dropping in my vote for git, mainly because I know fractionally more about it than I do about mercurial. I've mainly used CVS before, but I'm not one to advocate it particularly. On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Zoltan Padrah zoltan.pad...@gmail.comwrote: The topic in the subject
