Re: [orion-dev] Graphical Editors

[Silenio Quarti <Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The code is changing rapidly, but currently
[1] is where the appropriate editor for a given content provider is chosen.
  There are built in editors like the current orion text editor and
the markdown viewer.    And there are editors provided by plugins
(there is only an image viewer out of the box right now).  The plugged
in editors are done by [2].   There is a lot be done for the delegate
editor still. 

The base definition of a text editor
is in [3].  We probably will need another base editor interface for
non-textual editors.

[3] http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.orion.client.editor/web/orion/editor/editor.js

In the latest code, I just added support
for sharing the text model and undo stack between built in editors. I am
looking into extending this for plugged in editors next.

Hi Silenio,

Would you mind to offer more insights into
this? It is hugely interesting to us. Better point to where the corresponding
code is in the git repo. Thanks!

Cheers,
Wei

I have been working on [1] which is
about adding support to plugin different editors on the right -hand side
of the Orion edit.html page.  There is already some support in the
latest code if you would like to try it out, but it is still in early stages.
Take a look at the screen shots below.

The basic idea is to host an IFRAME in the right hand side and allow plugins
to provide its contents.  This should allow graphical editors to be
integrated with Orion. Currently, I am working on making the communication
between the host page in the IFRAME content seamless.  There is quite
a bit of work involving sharing the textmodel/undostack and handling commands/keybindings
still to be done.

Oliver, thanks for the pointers. I was looking at mxgraph and like it quite
a bit, except for the price :). jsplumb looks promising, so I'll play around
with that for a bit. Please post if you create a github repository for
your integration work, I would like to contribute.

Dear Sumit,

I'm also developing a graphical editor. Currently running standalone
only, but there are thoughts to integrate it in Orion.

As graphical framework, I'm using jsPlumb (http://jsplumb.org).
I also
had a look on D3JS (http://d3js.org/)
and Raphael
(http://raphaeljs.com/),
but jsPlumb looked the most promising: Nodes
are made using html, only the connections are made using SVG. This is
IMHO way faster than doing everything in SVG.

For sure, there are also other frameworks:
 * http://neyric.github.io/wireit/docs/,
 * Fixed graph nodes and connectors only: http://meemoo.org/
(equals
yahoo pipes), http://pipes.deri.org/,
http://neyric.github.com/webhookit/docs/index.html,
 * http://jgraph.github.com/mxgraph/
(not for commercial use:

 * http://jgraph.github.io/mxgraph/
(commercial only)
 * http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/graphics/graphics-drag.html
(no edges)

Even more alternatives are listed http://stackoverflow.com/a/8234639/873282

All of them, however, don't seem to be integrated in Orion...

Cheers,

Oliver
