Writer

I would like to help developing Writer.

Asked by Rafael Pezzuto

Hello devs,

I know Vala and GTK+3.

Do you guys have more mockups?
What kind of help do you guys need?

I have done some icons for elementary OS (see https://github.com/rafapzz/extra-icons-for-eos). But for now, I wanna help in development.

Thanks

Hi,
I haven't been working on this project for quite some time now, but recently I have gained some interest again, which is why I saw your question. The main problem I ran into, is that I can't figure out how to draw the separate pages. The problem is two-fold:

1. How do we align/draw draw pages? This is probably possible by drawing on a Cairo surface with a custom widget.
2. How do we split the text over multiple pages? Is it possible to split a TextView? Or are there other ways to do that?

So if you have an answer to those questions, be my guest!

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Rafael Pezzuto for more information if necessary.
