GSoC Project Introduction: More and Better Tests

2024-05-19 Thread Adam Seskunas

Hello Everyone,

My name is Adam Seskunas and I'm one of the GSoC contributors for
LibreOffice. My project, as the name suggests, is to write more and better
tests for LibreOffice. In particular, I will be focusing on writing filter
tests for writer.  The project will consist of two main parts, the first of
which will be to convert some JUnit tests to CppUnit, and the second part
will consist of writing missing unit tests.  A more detailed description as
well as a link to the project proposal can be found here
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/myprojects/details/pUU5JIpy

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Hossein and Xisco for agreeing
to mentor me through the project. And I'd like to give a big thanks to
Ilmari for helping me get involved with LibreOffice over the past year and
encouraging me to apply for the GSoC. And last of all, a big thanks to all
of the community members, everyone has been welcoming and friendly, it's
been a very positive experience contributing to LibreOffice.

In the next week I will be working on refining the list of tests I will be
working on and gathering information about each test I plan to work on. In
my next update I hope to have a finalized list of tests to publish.

[GSoC] Comments in Sidebar Deck: Weekly Update

2024-05-19 Thread Mohit Marathe

Hi everyone,

I’ll be posting weekly updates about my progress on this project in this thread.

This week, I learned how to use Glade for making UIs.
I used it to make .ui for “Comments” deck in the sidebar.

This is how looks (for now, as there are lots of things to add):

You can find the patch here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167840

Thanks,

GSoC Project Introduction - .NET Bindings for UNO

2024-05-18 Thread Ritobroto Mukherjee

Hello everyone,

I'm Ritobroto Mukherjee, one of the GSoC contributors for LibreOffice
this year. I'll be working on updating UNO bindings for .NET languages
(C#, F# and VB.NET).

This project aims to update the original .NET Framework compatible
bindings, to use the newer .NET 8 SDK. This would not only make them
cross-platform, but also allow us to introduce newer C# syntax and
features such as generic types. Tests, examples, documentation and a
NuGet package for end users to consume the bindings are also planned.

I am eager to work under the guidance of Mr. Hossein and Mr. Thorsten,
along with the support of the entire LibreOffice community. 

Similar to my peers, I'll be sending weekly updates shortly. Also a big
congratulations to all my peers who were also selected as contributors.

Best regards,
Ritobroto

GSoC: LUA UNO Language Binding in LibreOffice

2024-05-16 Thread Venetia R Furtado

Hello,

I am Venetia Furtado and I will be working on the project “LUA UNO Language
Binding in Libre Office” for GSoC’24.

I would like to thank Ilmari for encouraging me to apply to the program,
and huge thanks to Stephan and Thorsten for agreeing to mentor me on this
project.

The goal of this project is to enable LibreOffice to be controlled using
the LUA programming language through UNO. This will allow users to create
new services in addition to the existing LO services written in other
languages like Java, C++, and Libre Office Basic.

I've had a wonderful experience working with the community over the past
year. Thank you all for being so warm and welcoming. I am looking forward
to collaborating on this project with Stephan and Thorsten.


Regards,

Venetia Furtado

GSoC: Libreoffice Theme (week - 0 update)

2024-05-14 Thread Printf Debugging

Hi, I am Printf from India, and I will be working on the "Libreoffice 
Theme" project this summer. First of all, many many thanks to Heiko and 
Rafael for mentoring the project, and to the community for being so 
welcoming! This week, I have been wrapping up some patches that I had 
assigned myself, along with some hunting and exploration in the VCL. I 
found that there are functions like `bool 
GtkSalGraphics::updateSettings(AllSettings& rSettings)` which extract 
the colors from the widget systems and save those in a local copy via 
the `Set.Color()` functions. The transaction seemed to be one way 
though, meaning that I didn't see any calls putting the updated colors 
back into the widget system, to modify the UI. For the colors like 
accent-color etc, I think all the getting/setting happens on the local 
copy after extraction. So I have been trying to understand how GTK does 
colors. Found that styling in GTK is built around `GtkStyleContext` to 
which we add StyleProviders, which have the styling information. There 
are a lot of GtkStyleContext pointers in `gtkgdi.hxx` for each major 
component. These are created at startup... (survey in progress) I will 
come up with a prototype patch to change the menubar colors probably in 
this week (counting the start of week 1 from today) or at max next week. 
The idea is to get a thumbs up from the mentors, community and the devs 
on the approach/roadmap for the project, like shall we create a separate 
dialog for themes, or shall we repurpose the `Tools > Options > 
Application Colors/Personas` area. If we go the dialog route, then what 
should be the layout, considering that this project might extend beyond 
just plain colors during or even after the GSoC project. Is my styling 
approach scalable, meaning should I create a separate class etc etc. 
This is my first project where I am working under time constraint. So 
there might be some hiccups here and there, but I will converse the 
situation(s)/updates on time, and I hope we can find the solutions 
together. Again, thanks for being such a warm and community. Always

Re: GSoC: Adding native support for histogram chart

2024-05-08 Thread Devansh Varshney

Hi everyone,

For this week, my top priority is to make the new Histogram chart type
selectable from the UI.

Initially, it will be a working copy of the existing basic bar/column chart
type.

Then, I'll make the required changes with each passing iteration.

Here's the link to the PR: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167068/


Best regards,

Devansh

GSoC: Adding native support for histogram chart

2024-05-07 Thread Devansh Varshney

Hi everyone,

I am Devansh and this year I have been selected for the* Google Summer of
Code (GSoC) program with LibreOffice* to *Add the support for the Histogram
Chart* - GSoC Idea list (
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#Histogram_.28and_other_missing.29_Chart_Type
) and *Tomaž Vajngerl* is going to be* my mentor,* who has guided me
throughout the proposal process and will continue to do so until the
project's completion.

I gravitated towards adding the support for the Histogram chart (and if
time permits other missing charts also from the MS Office 2016) stems from
my family background in science, engineering, and finance, where data
visualization plays a crucial role. Working on this project allows me to
connect with my family's work and explain my contributions in a meaningful
way.

Second, while preparing the proposal report I came across that the *CERN*
also uses the LibreOffice for their work is doing a work around because of
no native support of these new chart types. (
https://indico.cern.ch/event/977476/contributions/4204938/attachments/2191304/3703670/EN-Plotting-a-histogram-in-libreoffice.pdf)
which was the point where I can see the impact of this task. Not only this
*IndiaMart*, a prominent B2B marketplace where my friends work told me that
it also uses LibreOffice.

Seeing the potential impact of this project on real-world users was a
significant motivator for me. This project checks all the right boxes for
me.

I have been impressed by the LibreOffice community and documentation, which
are among the best I've seen.
I'd like to extend my gratitude to the community members who have helped me
get started with my contributions, including Hossein, Heiko, Michael,
Marco, and especially Ilmari, who was the first to guide me.
