I've made a first super-messy attempt at introducing a pango based texxt system in shoebot, here are my first results
http://www.hv-a.com/shoebot/images/pango_1.jpg it seems it can be done, but up to now it's still a mess, the text class main part is using pango, but it has still to be integrated in the main framework of bot.canvas (the text you see is rendered directly in the init part of the class). i still have to see if the pangocairo context, that is referenced to canvas cairo context, can be updated at rendering time in order to acquire the canvas transformations... then it will be a problem of adapting textpath function ... a long way to go indeed, but i think not as hard as i feared. maybe for 0.3 ? it's nice to see wrapped text anyway. ciao, f. btw. i started using SPE (stani's python editor, and i like it. bye bye gedit) -- architetto Francesco Fantoni <HVA - Hermanitos Verdes Architetti> l.go san giacomo, 38 I-41100 modena (italia) tel.& fax. +39.059.217554 skype: hva_studio e.mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.hv-a.com _______________________________________________ Shoebot-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tinkerhouse.net/listinfo.cgi/shoebot-devel-tinkerhouse.net
