I will be mentored by Samuel Mehrbrodt, Thorsten Behrens, and Heiko Tietze. This time, I’ll be working on improvement and rework of Special Characters feature in LibreOffice and adding some enhancements to it.
FONT GLYPHS IN LIBREOFFICE CODE
Woah, Google Summer of Code with LibreOffice ( x2 ).
It has been an awesome two-year journey with LibreOffice, and I hope it will remain the same in future and the open-source technologies will flourish with their full potential and thrive to its zenith. I would like to give my regards to the LibreOffice community which helped me through the deadlocks I faced during the project. I was mentored by Samuel Mehrbrodt, Heiko Tietze, and Thorsten Behrens in GSoC 2017. ‣ Unicode Character Names Integration using ICU ‣ Special Characters Toolbar Dropdown Control ‣ Favourites feature in Special characters ‣ Glyph View and Recent Characters Control in Special Characters dialog ‣ Context-menu and Mouse click controls for easier interaction The GIF below is an example of how easy a user can find the desired symbols and can pin it for quick access in future. It is supposed to replace the current toolbar button which opens the special character dialog in the currently circulated LibreOffice 5.3. In pursuance of providing quick access to the above Recent and Favorite character list, a toolbar dropdown control has been developed. ‣ Toolbar Dropdown control for Quick Access! ‣ Recently Used Characters and Favorite Characters ‣ Inter-font dynamic glyph searchĪs simple as it could be made, a user can now type the name of the glyph and scroll between fonts until the desired results are shown. There’s a display label which is dedicated to glyph’s Unicode name. The program identifies glyphs according to their names provided by ICU and then, the search results are displayed. Glyph name properties have been introduced to LibreOffice using the API provided by International Components for Unicode (ICU). They are covered here.‣ Search functionality via generic code point name
Wrap Off: This sets the text box so white space is on the left and right of it.The choices in this sub-menu set how the text in a paragraph will surround the text box. This setting is good for adding smaller drop caps that you want more control over than what the drop-cap settings give you. As character: This treats the text box like a character, so the height of a line is affected.There is not much difference between it and the To paragraph setting. To character: This is similar to anchor To paragraph.
The text box will stay with the paragraph if it is moved to the next page. When text is added before the paragraph, moving the text down the page, the text box moves with it. To paragraph: This ties the text box to a paragraph.A pull quote that is centered on the page is a good example. It is the best option if the box does not need to be associated with a particular paragraph, just the page. To page: With this setting, the text box does not move as you add or delete text to the page.In addition to the right-click menu, the settings also can be found in the Drawing Object Properties dialog, that appears when the border of the text box is chosen. Click on the desired choice in the sub-menu.In the menu that appears, drag the cursor and highlight the Anchor sub-menu.Click on the border of the of the text box.This sets how the text box is integrated with the characters that surround it, the paragraph it is in, and the page it is on. The Anchor, Wrap, and Arrangement can be set. It is treated like other objects in Writer, such as images and shapes. Many times the text box is not set the way you want it.
