The original design paramteres under -which Ebits came about were a lot more restricted than the resulting use of them, -thus Edje was born. - -Edje is a more complex layout engine compared to Ebits. It doesn't pretend to do -containering and regular layout like a widget set. It still inherits the more -simplistic layout ideas behind Ebits, but it now does them a lot more cleanly, -allowing for easy expansion, and the ability to cover much more ground than Ebits -ever could. For the purposes of Enlightenment 0.17, Edje should serve all the -purposes of creating visual elements (borders of windows, scrollbars, etc.) and -allow the designer the ability to animate, layout and control the look and feel of -any program using Edje as its basic GUI constructor. This library allows for -multiple collections of Layouts in one file, sharing the same image database and -thus allowing a whole theme to be conveneintly packaged into 1 file and shipped -around. - -Edje, unlike Ebits, separates the layout and behavior logic. Edje files ship with an -image database, used by all the parts in all the collections to source graphical -data. It has a directory of logical part names pointing to the part collection entry -ID in the file (thus allowing for multiple logical names to point to the same part -collection, allowing for the sharing of data betwene display elements). Each part -collection consists of a list of visual parts, as well as a list of programs. A -program is a conditionally run program that if a particular event occurs (a button -is pressed, a mouse enters or leaves a part) will trigger an action that may affect -other parts. In this way a part collection can be "programmed" via its file as to -hilight buttons when the mouse passes over them or show hidden parts when a button -is clicked somewhere etc. The actions performed in changing from one state to -another ar also allowed to transition over a period of time, allowing animation. - -This separation and simplistic event driven style of programming can produce almost -any look and feel one could want for basic visual elements. Anything more complex is -likely the domain of an application or widget set that may use Edje as a conveneient -way of being able to configure parts of the display. -</longdescription> -</pkgmetadata> |
