Qtzibit is now checked in and working, and ready for people to try on MeeGo and other Linux platforms. The idea is to show off the power of http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit/ and provide a platform for further integration between QML and Exhibit's advanced data rendering functionality. After installation, when you run /opt/qtzibit/bin/qtzibit or click on launcher /usr/share/applications/qtzibit.desktop you'll be presented with a list of Exhibit example/demos to run, which looks like: http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-all-examples.png Clicking on one of the example titles brings up an interactive page featuring an Exhibit demo: http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-billionaires.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-cerealbox-characters.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-medieval-mediterranean-map.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-mushroom-identification.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-presidents.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-redsox-vs-yankees.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-us-city-population.png http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qtzibit-world-populations.png To get back to the Example Chooser, click the "Browse Examples" link on the upper-left corner of each Exhibit page. This invokes "javascript:window.qml.showExampleChooser();" which also shows how you can call back into QML from JavaScript running in the Exhibit web-page. The qtzibit installation places a number of interesting Exhibit examples directly on the filesystem. In conjunction with the modified exhibit&timeline, most of these examples work directly in the browser. Thus the "billionaries" example in the screenshot above can also be browsed directly e.g. "firefox /opt/qtzibit/exhibit/src/webapp/examples/billionaires/billionaires.html" ... This makes development and debugging of Exhibit JavaScript easier. To checkout, build and run qtzibit, first install QtSDK 1.1.2 ( http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/06/21/introducing-meego-1-2-harmattan-to-the-qt-sdk/ ), then do the following steps: svn checkout https://qtzibit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ qtzibit qtcreator qtzibit/qtzibit.pro ## --> In "Target Setup" dialog, select "Use Shadow Building" under Desktop details. --> Build All cd qtzibit-build-desktop ##created by Shadow Building in qtcreator sudo make install ##need root to install to /opt/qtzibit /opt/qtzibit/bin/qtzibit ##run the installed qtzibit! Note that the last step -- installation into /opt/qtzibit -- is necessary because all the HTML/JavaScript expect the Exhibit and Timeline code to reside in /opt/qtzibit/exhibit/* and /opt/qtzibit/timeline/*. Once installed, as long as you're not changing the code for the simile exhibit or timeline widgets, you can do your QML/Javascript development in qtcreator and test/debug in-place. Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: Next step is to come up with a less "static" demo that mashes-up dynamic javascript data from QML derived from handset or tablet events, GPS data, etc. I think that http://zeitgeist-project.com/ data would be very interesting to present in qtzibit similar to http://seilo.geekyogre.com/2010/07/zeitgeist-geolocation-magic/ , however it's not something i have time to work on now....Anybody else interested? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
