where to start?

Hi,

I'd like to start contributing and fixing issues in OOo
graphics. I've 
been working on OOo for a half a year, making some patches
and doing a 
easy stuff more or less.
But now, I want to help with some issues my self but don't
know where to 
start. I know some basics of OOo API but I'm still not sure
if it is 
enough for graphics? What should I do to understand
principles of 
graphics development to be able to fix issues in
issuezilla?

Thank you for any help.

Regards,

Jan Navratil

Hi Jan,

thanks for your interest in the graphics project. Basicly
all you need 
to develop for the graphics
project is a good understanding in writing and reading c++
code. Grep 
should be your best friend.
But most important is motivation. There are many completly
different 
areas where you can start,
depending on your interests.

Are you a core guy? Do you like to wade through complex code
that never 
sees the light of day?
Or maybe you are a user interface guy? You like to implement
shiney new 
dialogs and wizards?
Maybe you are a filter guy, you like to open up OOo to a
world of brand 
new formats we never
dared to support before?
If flashy graphics are your thing, maybe you like to work on
the slide 
show? Maybe as a linux
guy you like to implement the graphical canvas for SomeLinux
Version 8 
or as a Bill Gates fan boy
you like to add visual miracles by supporting bleeding edge
Direct X 
10.1 effects!

So best way to be successful is to be motivated, tell us
what your would 
love to do and we
will see to get you on speed with it.

By the way, if you love to contribute to OOo why not getting
paid for 
it? If you are willing
to relocate to Hamburg/Germany you should contact me at my
email address.

Regards,
Christian

I'm not familiar with core so far, but I'm interested in
user interface. 
I've seen that somebody at google-summer-of-code is working
on OpenGL 
inegration. So generally, the slide show effects and other
graphical 
features would be fine as well.

If you like to work on the slide show, I bet Thorsten has
some ideas 
what you could do. But he is on vacation until Monday,
27th. If you like to start with user interface there is
still this age 
old unusable dialog where you can edit a color.
(Go to menu format->area, then "colors" tab
page end then press "Edit" 
button to see it). This one needs to be replaced
completely. The hardest part of this task would be to
develop a concept 
on what what the new dialog should look like.

Christian
