Activities/PortingToGtk3/Write

Write uses libabiword python bindings. The Gtk2 version is available here http://www.abisource.com/wiki/PyAbiWord

Ongoing work is needed to add introspection support to the library to be able to use it with Gtk3

The following is a list of methods and signals used in our code.

It is the minimal support we need, but not all the support provided by the old Gtk2 binding.

• setup

       # create our main abiword canvas
       abiword_canvas = Canvas()
       abiword_canvas.set_property("shadow-type", gtk.SHADOW_NONE)
       abiword_canvas.set_word_selections(True)
       abiword_canvas.set_show_margin(True)
       keybindings_file = os.path.join(get_bundle_path(), 'keybindings.xml')
       abiword_canvas.invoke_cmd(
               'com.abisource.abiword.loadbindings.fromURI',
               keybindings_file, 0, 0)
       abiword_canvas.select_all()
       abiword_canvas.get_selection('text/plain')
       abiword_canvas.set_font_name('Sans')
       abiword_canvas.moveto_bod()

• preview

       abiword_canvas.render_page_to_image(...)

• collaboration

       cmd_prefix = 'com.abisource.abiword.abicollab.olpc.'
       abiword_canvas.invoke_cmd(cmd_prefix + 'joinTube', address, 0, 0)
       abiword_canvas.invoke_cmd(cmd_prefix + 'buddyJoined',
                   initiator_dbus_name, 0, 0)
       abiword_canvas.invoke_cmd(cmd_prefix + 'offerTube', address, 0, 0)
       abiword_canvas.invoke_cmd(cmd_prefix + '.buddyJoined', bus_name, 0, 0)

• search

       abiword_canvas.find_next(...)
       abiword_canvas.set_find_string(...)
       abiword_canvas.find_prev()

• tables

       table = abiword.TableCreator()
       table.set_labels(_('Table'), _('Cancel'))
       table_id = self._table.connect('selected', self._table_cb)
       table.set_image(image)
       table.set_relief(gtk.RELIEF_NONE)

       abiword_canvas.insert_table(rows, cols)
       abiword_canvas.invoke_cmd('insertRowsAfter', , 0, 0)
