[Libwpg-devel] SoC WPG conversion: progress as of June 12, 2006

[Ariya H. <ari...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

Here's the status so far with my Summer of Code (WPG conversion filter).

Last week I managed to understand how to construct the cubic Bezier
curve, from the polycurve record. This was not so easy but finally I
could find that out. With support for curve, I was able to convert and
view many WPGs in the WordPerfect's clipart folder. See the result
here e.g:

I also took some time to adjust WPG1 parsing code to match the new
painting model. This is going well, so hopefully I can commit
everything that I work on so far to libwpg CVS in the next days. I
just want to complete first the handling of Bezier curve also in the
WPG1 version.

When this is done, I'll tackle again the issue with transformation
(only for WPG2) and the move on to the WPG-to-ODG task.

Also, if someone has good collections of WPG2 files, I'll be very
happy if I can have a look and use them for testing. WordPerfect
Office's clipart does not contain many files and what we have in
libwpg CVS are mostly WPG1.
