Analysis

Overview

There should be an automatic chaining availability when text frame is used.

Task requirements

• Add a new object in the frame list for chaining: "Auto chain".
• When setting auto chaining to a text frame and it overflows, the following things should be acquired:
  • If next page exist and it is empty (without any content) and not modified then the next page takes the previous page's template and therefore text frame is created with the same properties as the first one (position, size, background etc.).The both frames are linked.
  • If next page exist and it is not empty then a new page with the previous page's template is created after the current page and therefore a text frame is created with the same properties as the first one (position, size, background etc.).The both frames are linked. All the pages after the new created one are shifted after it.
  • If there is no next page, then it's created with the previous page's template and therefore with a text frame with the same properties as the first one (position, size, background etc.).The both frames are linked.
  • If there are some text frames(not one) on the page and the last text frame overflow then a new page with the previous page's template and therefore with the same number, location, size and style of the linked text frames is created and the new created frames are linked in the same way as in the previous page and they are linked with the last one of the first page.
  • When a new frame is created by overflowing of other one then the new created frame's link should automatic becomes auto chain.
• Deleting a text frame which is part of linked text frames deletes the frame and:
  • If the frame is the first one in the chain, then the frame and all the text in the chain is deleted but the text is saved in Resources . The links between the others are saved as if there are not modified pages, having only empty text frames, these pages are deleted without loosing the links in the chain.
  • If the frame is a middle frame in the chain, then in case of no destructing the links between the frames before and after the deleted frame link them, save the links between the other frames in the new created chain and save the text.
  • If the frame is the last one then the frame is deleted without destroying the chain before it and the text in the chain is saved.
• Deleting a page that contains linked text frames with other pages' frames should act in the same way as deleting a frame but including all the linked frames in the page.
• Unlinking text frames
  • If the unlinked text frame is the first one in the chain, then all the text in the chain is saved in this frame. The links between the other text frames in the chain are saved as if there are not modified pages, having only empty text frames, these pages are deleted without loosing the links in the chain.
  • If the unlinked text frame is a middle one in the chain, then the text frame is divided from the chain as the text frame before it is linked to the text frame after it and the links between the other text frames in the chain and the text are preserved.
  • If the text frame is the last one then it is divided from the chain without destroying the chain before it and the text in the chain is saved.

Task result

The result is code.

Implementation idea

Add auto chain in the list of chained frames:



Auto chain should always be available for a text frame.

How to demo

1. Create a new book.
   
2. Insert a frame in it.
   
3. Choose an Auto chain for the frame.
   
4. Overflow by writing in the frame.
   

Expected behavior: A new page with the same template and therefore a frame with the same properties as the first one (position, size, background etc.) should be created and it should be linked with the overflowed one.

5. Insert a new frame on the second page.
   
6. Link the two frames.
   
7. Overflow the second text frame by writing in the frame.
   

Expected behavior: A new page with the same template and therefore the same two linked text frames with the same properties as the first one (position, size, background etc.) should be created and they should be linked with the overflowed one from the previous page.

8. Delete the second page.
   

Expected behavior:The second page is deleted and the last frame of the first page is linked to the first added frame of the third frame. A new page is created at the end of the book with the same template as the page before it because of the default auto chain of the last frame of ex-last page.

9. Change the link of the last frame in the last book from auto chain to none.
   
10. Delete the current second page.
    

Expected behavior: The second page is deleted and the last frame of the first page is linked to the first added frame of the third frame. A new page at the end is not created.

11. Unlink the first frame of the current second page.
    

Expected behavior: The first frame in the second frame is unlinked from the chain but it doesn't destruct the link between the other two frames in the chain. They are directly linked.

Design

This task depends to a great extent on the design of TEXT_CHAINING_BEHAVIOUR_R1 and should be done in parralel or after it. In order to support auto-chaining, only logics should be changed (if the task mentioned is implemented) since model and views will be designed to support auto chaining. A check for the chaining mode should be performed on every operation related to chaining. If chaining mode is auto, the behaviour should be as described in the analysis section.

Please refer to the design of TEXT_CHAINING_BEHAVIOUR_R1 for details on chaining, a class diagram and a test.
