Contains graphics related helper code. Lots of the draw and impress code is in this shared library.

xoutdev
this is where a lot of wht work would happen to move to the canvas. (what does that mean?)

svdraw
transparent gradient stuff.

== SdrObject ==

The shapes you can see in LibreOffice (like rectangle, etc.) are SdrObjects.
They are declared as a hierarchy:

SdrObject <- SdrAttrObj <- E3dObject <- E3dCompoundObject <- E3dCubeObj
    ^ ^ ^             ^            ^              | | ^ ^
    | | |             |            |              | | | +--- E3dExtrudeObj
    | | |             |            |              | | +----- E3dLatheObj
    | | |             |            |              | +------- E3dPolygonObj
    | | |             |            |              +--------- E3dSphereObj
    | | |             |            +--- E3dScene...
    | | |             |
    | | |             +--- SdrTextObj <- SdrObjCustomShape...
    | | |                   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
    | | |                   | | | | +--- SdrEdgeObj...
    | | |                   | | | +----- SdrMeasureObj...
    | | |                   | | +------- SdrPathObj...
    | | |                   | +--------- SdrRectObj...
    | | |                   +----------- SdrTableObj...
    | | +--- SdrObjGroup...
    | + ---- SdrPageObj...
    +------- SdrVirtObj...

The above is incomplete of course.

Associated are the SdrPaintView's - they have quite a deep chain of
inheritance, where each new class adds a bit of functionality:

SdrPaintView <- SdrSnapView <- SdrMarkView <- SdrEditView <- SdrPolyEditView
                                                                   ^
  +----------------------------------------------------------------+
  |
  SdrGlueEditView <- SdrObjEditView <- SdrExchangeView <- SdrDragView
                                                                   ^
  +----------------------------------------------------------------+
  |
  SdrCreateView <- SdrView

From SdrView on, it is not flat, but a real hierarchy again.

== Drawing Layer / SdrObject(s) ==

See drawinglayer/README for general information about drawinglayer.

Below is the class diagram that comes from
http://www.openoffice.org/marketing/ooocon2006/presentations/wednesday_g11.odp,
slide number 6.

For SdrObjects, there are own DrawingLayer primitives in
svx/source/sdr/primitive2d

The ViewContact / ViewObject / ViewObjectContact are in svx/source/sdr/contact
Decomposes the SdrObjects, and does all sort of operations on them.

[So far I haven't found a definition / concept what are supposed to be the
ViewContact / ViewObject / ViewObjectContact.  If you find that out, please
fix this README :-)]
