here is the outline for the kate + peter lgm Vienna talk:
- intro
- introduce us
- interaction architects
- you know us, we are working on GIMP (for years)
- this project,
- internship of Domi, all text handling in GIMP, in progress
- the project structure is our story
- text handling vision, point for point
- relate to overall GIMP vision
- the GIMP context
- the GEGL strategy
- input of user needs
- sum up: not contextless nuts-and-bolts discussion
- Project-
- functionality- what happens in other packages- what do typographers need?
- scenarios- we did it- they are based on the GIMP user scenarios
- evaluation
- Analysis
- interesting stuff we found out along the way
- how we got where we are
then the hit list:
- Text
- attributes of free text, typography etc (faux bold/italics)
- the bounding box
- the context of heavy image manipulation on top: working with text- editing modes, on-canvas vs.
- Vector containers
- the marriage of the text and the vector object - for example margins- belonging to the text but are only fully applicable when the text is contained
- the "text box" is vector container - duh conclusion... but in the GIMP context...
- warping texts with paths
- 2 different kinds of path warping, per paragraph
- free text vs. boxed text
- tools: handling the different aspects of the text object they are working on- what is in the text tool (positioning- resizing and moving etc..)
- dealing with complex vector shapes
- using the bounding box - setting text in complex shapes
- negative wrapping using vectors
the end.
