GSoC : when text appear
During the Akademy, I continu to work on my GSoC. I work more exactly on text shape animation, i.e. only animate a part of text. In my opinion it’s one of the more efficient animation, it allows user to only display a text paragraph by pragraph for example.
Currently, we can load this kind of animation and display it. Saving works too, but not yet commited.
Now, it’s time to start UI, to allow user to add animation into KOffice.
My first mock-up :

- Appear animation :red
- Dissapear animation : blue
- Other animation : green
The button (+) allow user to add the selected Shape (on the presentation) to animation timeline.
On each animation there is a little square (icon), it’s representing subtype.
Operation:
- Mouse over animation : Tooltip with the following information : Animation type, subtype and duration
- Right click on animation : allow user to remove animation, modify animation (start time, duration, type, subtype)
- Right click on empty space or shape title allow user to add animation.
- Left click on shape title select it, and you can remove it (only associated animations) with button (-). I think this operation need a confirmation
Tomorrow, I do a new mock-up with my new ideas and perhaps new ideas from you
