Analysis

Overview

User should be able to manipulate main character and paragraph format settings from the halo menu, that appears automatically when the focus is set to a text content.
The following settings should be adjustable via this menu:

  • Text weight: normal or bold
  • Text style: normal or italic
  • Text decoration: normal or underline
  • Paragraph alignment: left, right, center or justified

Also there should be buttons that evoke character settings hud and paragraph settings hud.

Task requirements

  • Create a prototype that allows automatically appearance of the halo menu.
  • Provide easy way for development of related tasks.

Task result

  • The result should be code.

Implementation idea

  • Instead of starting everything from the beginning see whats already implemented (org.sophie2.main.view.halos.menus.text.TextHaloMenu) and step on it for providing additional functionality.
  • Since this is R0 please don't remove existing functionality for now, just extend or refactor it if there is a need.
  • Here is a scheme how the menu could look like

TEXT_PARAGPRAPH_FORMAT_COMMONS_R0
TEXT_CHARACTER_FORMAT_COMMONS_R0

How to demo

  • Run the application
  • Create a new book and place text frame inside
  • Populate some lorem ipsum text inside with a number of paragraphs(lorem ipsum generator --> http://www.lipsum.com/)
  • See if text halo menu appears when focus is set to the text. Also check if disappears whenever the focus is changed.
  • Test if the buttons in the menu work properly.
