Hi! iam working on a compiz plugin that does the job on 3D hardware. There is xmcm, which is going to do this with xcompmgr. There is also gnopernicus and orca. I think all these projects should work together where possible.
Certainly, we definetively should :^)
For example, i think the compiz solution will rock on desktop computers with a supported 3D card. But perhaps your system rocks on laptops where 3D is expensive and power extensive.
I talked to Jim Gettys about the magnifier and he proposed to utilize X Composite Extension to provide a better support and performance (but then only on computers that support it). Is that more or less what you are planning?
We can work together on other things like the user interface or communication interfaces, so cursor tracking is possible.
What is cursor tracking? I do have a on-going scientific research about the usability of the magnifier. The answers show that the users are very satisfied. Most feature requests are about the dynamic mode (to be implemented with X Composite Extension on the near future). http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/research.php
Question to your magnifier, how good is the performance?
Since 3.2.1 it´s very good I would say.
Can you magnify to fullscreen smoothly?
It works as a fullscreen software that enlarges a portion of the screen that is inside a glass. But an image is probably worth much more then many words, so here is a screenshot of it: https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=60638
What language is your program written in?
Object pascal, like Delphi. Althought the official compiler is Free Pascal you do can use Delphi to compile it. Interfacing between pascal and c or c++ is very easy and natural. You can even mix c / c++ object files with pascal ones to link and executable. The widgetset interface links to gtk 2 on unixes.
Does it have interfaces? Would it be possible to integrate the "enginge" into other software lice orca?
Well, not yet =) We didn´t think about that before, but this can probably be easely implemented, either throught a library or an mechanism to control the executable. What exactly do you need? I am not familiar with orca, thought I will test it. thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
