2013-03-26Print dialog: Fix inaccessible controls on WindowsGravatar Lubomir I. Ivanov
The window which holds the custom print options tab appears to have unchangeable dimensions on Windows OS (unless hacked in some way). This makes the sliders in the custom tab not accessible unless we add the entire dialog into a GtkScrolledWindow and return that for the "create-custom-widget" event. The patch also makes the contents of the "Layout Options" frame packed vertically (with a GtkVBox) instead of horizontally, so that the entire tab contents are "mostly" scrollable vertically instead of horizontally.

2013-03-20Print_c Make colorButton remember last state during sessionGravatar Salvador Cuñat

2013-03-19Rescale print layout sizes to add to 100%Gravatar Dirk Hohndel
While it makes sense for the program to have a 7.5% fixed header, from a user perspectice this is just odd. So instead we now have the notes, profile and tank data sizes add up to 100% and scale the information when it is combined with the header. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2013-03-19Make slider labels consistent in print dialogGravatar Dirk Hohndel

2013-03-19Add user definible options to the print menu - slider versionGravatar Salvador Cuñat
Define a new frame wich will englobe the layout options. 1.- Move to this frame the color profile printing by Amit 2.- Add an option which switches the position of the profile and a predefined block comprensive of header, tanks data and notes. - Divide print() in two macros PROFILE_BLOCK and NOTES_BLOCK - Add a gboolean to print_options. If unselected (default) we get the actual disposition. If selected, switches blocks. 3.- Add two buttons with labels to set the height of the profile, and tanks. We select the percentage of layout occupied by each option, reserving 7% for the header (non adjustable), and assign the rest to notes. - Values in % have got hardcoded min/max (e.g. being the profile a major feature of subsurface, would be meaningless make it < 37%) - The values are initialised to the actual ones, so leaving them untouched defaults to the old printout.

2013-03-14Fix bug in colour print initialisation.Gravatar Amit Chaudhuri
The callback function for switching colour printing on/off was registered after the initial activation of the button. This meant the first attempt to print was compromised.

2013-03-10Table print: Ignore a dive instead of breaking the dive loopGravatar Lubomir I. Ivanov
draw_table(): When get_dive_for_printing() returns NULL, instead of breaking, we should 'continue' trough the entire loop. Otherwise the paginate() handler will be called dive_table.nr times, until it returns TRUE. Fixes a bug where, for example one selected dive can end up allocating dive_table.nr pages for printing.

2013-03-03Try to capture some more potential buffer overflows caused by localizationGravatar Dirk Hohndel
A couple of these could clearly cause a crash just like the one fixed by commit 00865f5a1e1a ("equipment.c: Fix potential buffer overflow in size_data_funct()"). One would append user input to fixed length buffer without checking. We were hardcoding the (correct) max path length in macos.c - replaced by the actual OS constant. But the vast majority are just extremely generous guesses how long localized strings could possibly be. Yes, this commit is likely leaning towards overkill. But we have now been bitten by buffer overflow crashes twice that were caused by localization, so I tried to go through all of the code and identify every possible buffer that could be affected by this.

2013-02-23Print.c : fixes problem with line height in print_tanksGravatar Salvador Cuñat
A "\n" was giving 2 lines height for the layout. Wipping it out makes unnecesary the *2 divisor. As there may be wrapped strings in tank we need to take account of this height. There is no need, really, to get the height of the gasmix or gas_consumed strings, as they are "semi-fixed" size, but under some locales and imperial units they could be wrapped too.

2013-02-16Print: better calculation of the row height in table printGravatar Dirk Hohndel

2013-02-15Modify table print for using pango_layout_get_extents()Gravatar Salvador Cuñat
1.- On draw_table() we now set the layout, make the scaling *0.5, and the make traslations row by row. 2.- Wipe out print_table_header and print_table as they now don't make anything but call show_table which now we can call directly from draw_table. 3.- Modify show_table to get account of the height of the higher column and return it. 4.- The frame is now plot with an auxiliar func. directly from draw_table. With this changes we have a variable height pattern which lets us have complete the more sensible info (date, time, location, ...) without wrapping it to fit in the predefined width of the layout. The printout is tighter than old one so we can print 35 dives in a page, leaving enough room at the bottom to fit some extra-large (three lines or more) dives' info. Have increased *1.2 the size of the fonts as they got too little with the change in DPI. Wrap the header strings to limit the impact of different string sizes in the different supported languages.

2013-02-11print.c: Attempt a gettext() fix when printing translated "Gas Used"Gravatar Lubomir I. Ivanov
print_tanks(): It seems the macro call NC_("Amount","Gas Used") generates an entry in the .po file that then isn't matched at run time, which makes the bg_BG print have "Gas Used" in english instead of the translated text (which is already present in other places). On the other hand if we use N_ here (only mark it), the printed text is translated correctly. [Dirk Hohndel: added GETTEXT comment in code and rephrased commit message] Signed-off-by: Lubomir I.

2013-02-11print.c: Fix more buffer lengthsGravatar Lubomir I. Ivanov
print.c has a lot of defined buffer sizes, which do not consider UTF-8 expansion. gettext() with UTF-8 can inflate a string up to 2x the length (with 2byte characters). So if you set a buffer with length, say 20 bytes, lets see what happens: divenr[20]; snprintf(divenr, sizeof(divenr), _("Dive #%d - "), dive->number); But wait, in Russian "Dive" (which in latin text is "Pogrugenie") ends up with 10 cyrilic characters (20 bytes), so there is already buffer overflow here and snprintf() kicks in to corrupt the string. In matters of truncation snprintf() isn't UTF-8 safe. So if the buffer size happens to be less of the requested string to be put in there, the truncation can corrupt a trailing unicode character. For now, lets try fixing these by expanding the buffer sizes. Signed-off-by: Lubomir I. Ivanov <neolit123@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2013-02-10[PATCH] Print.c: Modify for using pango_layout_get_extentsGravatar Salvador Cuñat
Modify for use said pango function, suposes changing the way of doing things: Before this we were moving along the cr (cairo object) and creating and closing a layout for each line we printed. To use this func we need to create a layout (say for tanks), and then we move along the layout getting the distance with the get_extents func. As the layout is set and passed to the auxiliary functions there's no need to pass some values we were passing. Clean a bit the positioning of SAC, CNS and OTU which were out of the scope of the change. Changes to draw_table() are wider and unclear as we have to change from a fixed number of dives (25 actually) to a variable one. Not patched still.

2013-02-09Move duration to dive structure and replace accessor functionGravatar Dirk Hohndel
When starting on this quest to stop using the first divecomputer instead of data for the whole dive in commit eb73b5a528c8 ("Duration of a dive is the maximum duration from all divecomputers") I introduced an accessor function that calculates the dive duration on the fly as the maximum of the durations in the divecomputers. Since then Linus and I have added quite a few of the variables back to the dive data structure and it makes perfect sense to do the same thing for the duration as well and simply do the calculation once during fixup. This commit also replaces accesses to the first divecomputer in likely_same_dive to use the maxdepth and meandepth of the dive (those two slipped through the cracks in the previous commits, it seems).

2013-02-01print: Use logical text extents to layout text in weight system boxGravatar Carl Worth
The old code was computing locations based on relative portions of the available height. The correct thing to do, (and done here in the patch), is to advance by the logical height of rendered text each time. What's stll missing is anything to guarantee that the text drawn will fit in the box. The correct answer here is along one of two lines: 1. Use the logical text extents to decide what size to draw the box. 2. Use a pre-computed box size and choose a font size that will fit Either approach will involve a fairly substantial reworking of the rendering code in print.c.

2013-02-01print: Use cairo_save/cairo_restore to manage temporary cairo changesGravatar Carl Worth
The print_weight_data function was making several cairo_translate calls and then doing some final cairo_translate calls with the goal of manually undoing any changes to cairo's state. Obviously, this is fragile. Cairo provides save/restore calls which solve this problem in a robust way. Switch to using these instead.

Mostly coding style and whitespace changes plus making lots of functions static that have no need to be extern. This also helped find a bit of code that is actually no longer used.

This forces us to use the proper gtk accessor functions. It may not be worth it if people actually do the Qt conversion, but if we want to try gtk3 at some point, this might help. This all came about because I was trying to explain on G+ what an immense pain this all was to even figure out, if you don't actually know gtk at all. Google and the gtk migration guide are almost useless, and the gtk2 documentation itself actually uses the fields directly without any accessor functions in several places.

2013-01-23Move more dive computer filled data to the divecomputer structureGravatar Linus Torvalds
This moves the fields 'duration', 'surfacetime', 'maxdepth', 'meandepth', 'airtemp', 'watertemp', 'salinity' and 'surface_pressure' to the per-divecomputer data structure. They are filled in by the dive computer, and normally not edited. NOTE! All actual *use* of this data was then changed from dive->field to dive->dc.field programmatically with a shell-script and sed, and the result then edited for details. So while the XML save and restore code has been updated, all the displaying etc will currently always just show the first dive computer entry.

If we print out the pressure difference (because we do not have a cylinder size), we didn't initialize the precision. We should print out pressures without decimals. The attached patch fixes that, and also avoids a NULL pointer printout (which on Linux will just print out "(null)") if there is no cylinder type descriptor string.

2012-10-17Handle dates and a "calculated plural" in translationsGravatar Dirk Hohndel
This looks like a massive commit mainly because of the line number changes in the .po files. That sadly hides what really happened here: - the places where we manually build dates have now been localized - the one place where we did the English "calculated plural" has been modified so that it now can be correctly translated (in English this just adds an 's' to the noun if the number is != 1 - in other languages this tends to be much more complicated) I then updated the two German translations to take advantage of the new constructs. And while I was at it, I changed the translation Trip->Gruppe to Trip->Reise as that seemed much more appropriate. I also fixed another error in the German translation where I translated "dive time" as "Startzeit" - but in the context it was "Dauer". Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2012-10-11Conversion to gettext to allow localizationGravatar Dirk Hohndel
This is just the first step - convert the string literals, try to catch all the places where this isn't possible and the program needs to convert string constants at runtime (those are the N_ macros). Add a very rough first German localization so I can at least test what I have done. Seriously, I have never used a localized OS, so I am certain that I have many of the 'standard' translations wrong. Someone please take over :-) Major issues with this: - right now it hardcodes the search path for the message catalog to be ./locale - that's of course bogus, but it works well while doing initial testing. Once the tooling support is there we just should use the OS default. - even though de_DE defaults to ISO-8859-15 (or ISO-8859-1 - the internets can't seem to agree) I went with UTF-8 as that is what Gtk appears to want to use internally. ISO-8859-15 encoded .mo files create funny looking artefacts instead of Umlaute. - no support at all in the Makefile - I was hoping someone with more experience in how to best set this up would contribute a good set of Makefile rules - likely this will help fix the first issue in that it will also install the .mo file(s) in the correct place(s) For now simply run msgfmt -c -o subsurface.mo deutsch.po to create the subsurface.mo file and then move it to ./locale/de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/subsurface.mo If you make changes to the sources and need to add new strings to be translated, this is what seems to work (again, should be tooled through the Makefile): xgettext -o subsurface-new.pot -s -k_ -kN_ --add-comments="++GETTEXT" *.c msgmerge -s -U po/deutsch.po subsurface-new.pot If you do this PLEASE do one commit that just has the new msgid as changes in line numbers create a TON of diff-noise.
