400 | | This week I have been working on the coding of basic functionalities for the Single-Window layout on my locally merged branch. First I set up several Issues for those, however, since I am still working on my local branch, I eventually decided to address more Issues within one PR (so previously created Issues were merged into two larger ones - see [2], [3]). |
401 | | |
402 | | I integrated the Map Display into a new AuiNotebook and fixed the existing events - see PR [4]. These changes are ready to merge. |
403 | | |
404 | | I also created two Issues that will be important after the integration of basic functionalities and the creation of new events for the AuiNotebook center pane. The first one is kind of a discussion Issue. We can share suggestions there for what the startup GUI could look like. I have already added some proposals based on my local branch, see [5]. I am aware of the priority of the G8 release, so I feel it is something to be discussed later on. |
405 | | |
406 | | The second Issue [6] talks about an important enhancement that allows a user to undock the AuiNotebook pane into the wx.Frame widget (will be enabled through a button probably). This enhancement is very crucial as it will allow users who like the Multi-Window layout to continue using it even within this new GUI. It will probably be the last functionality I will complete within GSoC - or it is at least a plan - there might be some shortcomings in the refactoring PRs needed to be repaired, as big changes often cause minor errors. |
407 | | |
408 | | '''2) What am I going to achieve for next week?'''\\ |
409 | | I am gonna work on the implementation of new events for AuiNotebook (see [3]) and I also need to go back to PR [7]. It needs more testing and there still remains to integrate wx.Panel into g.gui.photo2image and g.gui.image2target GUI tools. I also have some problems with closing events for independent GUI Map Displays here that need to be sorted out. |

418 | | The success of this week lies in the merge of 2 PRs - the refactoring [1] and the [2] dealing with the basic map panel integration to Single-Window GUI. Just before that I had to make 2 rebases since my mentor Anna had merged a different refactoring PR [3] which influenced PR [1] as well as [4]. |
419 | | |
420 | | In the second half of the week I went back to the PR [4]. I integrated wx.Panel to three remaining tools namely g.gui.photo2image, g.gui.image2target, g.gui.example. I have also started to test this PR and written down shorcomings we will discuss and probably fix with the help of my mentors. |
421 | | |
422 | | We had the video call on Wednesday where we went through possible options of startup layout I put here: [5] and decided that the third option is the most suitable one and thus will be implemented. We use "Perspectives" for this purpose. |

425 | | |
426 | | The priorities for the next week are first of all to test PR [4], secondly to create a startup Single-Window GUI perspective and lastly to develop event handlers for map Aui.Notebook. For the second point I am going to study the wx.lib.agw.aui concept of so-called perspectives. |
