Hi,
to find someone to work on the missing icons for the chart types, see
http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Icons/Shared_icons#Chart_Types , I
wonder
how much KDAB is interested to join the efforts, as the chart plugin
is
based on KDChart from what I see.
Anyone with a clue here?
Whom to contact and make big pretty eyes with fluttering eyelashes? :)
That would be me and/or erione. We have done all the work on the chart
shape the last year (except for your excellent polishing work).
(mh, did not polish chart stuff, but thanks anyway :) )
So what is the current relation to the KDAB variant? Has that chart code
just been a code drop/fork, or is KDAB still also using the very same
code?
The code is actively maintained and is sold as a stand-alone product.
See http://www.kdab.com/kdab-products/kd-chart/
According to them there is a new version coming out very soon now. It should
have been July already but I haven't seen any announcement.
The 2.5 release is work on progress.
WIth my Calligra hat on (personal opinion that is) I would suggest to
not hurry to adapt to the new release simply cause there are lot of
changes and they need proper testing against the Calligra use-cases
(means the chartshape-plugin and ods-documents). While this days its
much easier by just running cstester it would still be needed to test
editing manually, etc. So, there is quit a bit of work before to do to
be sure no regressions are introduced and if are they need to be addressed.
And who is the contact person at KDAB for the chart code?
I'm not sure who is the product manager. I normally talk with Sebastian
Sauer.
So do I try to do now :)
Sebastian, do you use the Oxygen icons for the chart types in the KDAB product
as well and could think about sharing them, or do you have your own icons and
we (Calligra/KDE/Oxygen) have to create the missing icons ourselves in any
case?
To my knowledge KDChart do not have icons for its chart-types. KDChart
is a library and not an application with UI, themed icons, etc. It ships
with lot of example applications but none of them is really in any way a
"full featured standalone charting application" with icons and all that.
As mentioned in the text above, the icons talked about are these:
http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Icons/Shared_icons#Chart_Types
I think its needed to do the same that was done with the other
diagram-type icons used in the chartshape-plugin editing UI: Create them :)
The alternate would be to look of there are public domain/... icons for
various chart-types available somewhere but then they may not exactly
look oxygen-like too...
