The name "touch" for this module and the library name +"libotouch" are not fixed and might change if somebody comes up with niftier +names. + +This module will contain an UNO API to be called either from Java (for +Android), or directly (iOS). (Or, on iOS, possibly through some thin +Objective-C layer to hide the UNO.) + +The API will provide a mechanism to render "tiles" of a document at some +requested zoom level. Initially for viewer style apps, but the work should +ideally be open-ended to potentially be a base for editing apps, too. + +For starters, concentrating on text ("Writer") documents as they are +easiest. With spreadsheets come the added complexity of the cell grid being +potentially unbounded and no clear "page" area. With presentations come the +animation complications, and possibly LO-based viewer apps for presentations +will be done in a totally different fashion. |
