Display multiple Sketches (CanvasView) in the MainWindow #33

Closed synapticvoid closed 9 years ago

synapticvoid commented 9 years ago

Right now a single Sketch is visible.

It's how Sketch 3, display multiple "sketches" on the same view

Some useful resources about Sketch 3 "page and art board" :

OK that's my sum up of these videos:

General structure is :

Project
- Pages
- Artboards
  - Shapes

About page :

Only one page is displayed at the same time

About artboard :

This is what you export to a picture (PNG, ...)
Different sizes on the same page are allowed
Size can be changed after creation
Pre configured size are proposed

About shapes :

contained by an artboard
partially visible if out of bounds of artboard
can be transfer to another artboard by drag & drop

Blueprint got similar project structure:

Sketch 3	Blueprint
Page	Page
Artboard	Sketch
Shape	SketchItem

I think that our "Sketch" is a little tricky and doesn't represent the "collection" spirit. What do you think about use "Canvas" word (even YT Sketch3 video use this term to talk about artboard)

And maybe "SketchItem" could become just "Item" ?

@synapticvoid what do think about that?

synapticvoid commented 9 years ago

Yup, I like Canvas.

About SketchItem, I think that Shape might be better, Item is really too generic in my opinion.

GuillaumeLazar commented 9 years ago

Yea ok for me. Shape is better and is not a Sketch3 word reserved! :rage:

Sketch 3	Blueprint
Page	Page
Artboard	Canvas
Shape	Shape

I will perform some refactoring in code to respect that new naming convention. SketchItem -> Shape SketchItemBezier -> ShapeBezier SketchItemEllipse -> ShapeEllipse [...]
