Do you have a link? I googled but found nothing.
Next days and week my job is to dive into at-spi to learn how this works in gnome. My target for learning this is to write a piece of software that prints the cursor/focus position on the stdout.
Please, let me know you findings, I am very interrested, also on the source code. How do you plan to do this?
I was thinking about communication with such a "magnification-core", too. I think other software should be able to control the glass position and size. And for my case, full screen glass, size means scale. For your case it size and scale have to be separated.
Seams trivial to write an interface for the magnifier to be controlable this way.
Iam not sure what interface is best to do this. Compiz will implement dbus in the future, i looked at dbus and it seems to be okay. But i have to learn dbus, too.
What is dbus?
If we can define a magnifier-interface that works for many magnifier solutions, then others can write modules or plugins or user interfaces.
This will need to be known through many people developing accessibility software in order to be successfull.
Then the core is nearly independent of gnome or kde.
magnifier core already is desktop manager independent.
And, image there would be multiple access to the interface. There could be firefox plugins, or there can be other software like eye-tracking systems or what ever. Accesibility needs are very different.
So even the source of the image to be enlarged could be customizable (the desktop, or the contents of a software window). thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
