Anyway, I will now create a mock for the UI and discuss this on the UI

list. Once this is done, what would be the best way to add the new UI

functionality ? A friendly push in the right direction would save me
quite

some time ;-)



You should design the dialogs nowadays with Glade. We are switching

from our old dialog descriptions to new glade xml files. Caolan wrote

a nice wiki page about widgetllayout

(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/WidgetLayout). While

it focuses mostly on transfering old dialogs to the new format it

should give you a basic idea how to create a new one. If you need one

of the custom widgets that we have somewhere in the code or other

customization of an existing widget we can help you implement that.



I'm with you on new Dialogs. I could convert the existing dialog
(ChartTypeDialog?) to glade, but it seems a bit ambitious at the moment for
my knowledge in LO. Maybe later after getting more experience with simpler
dialogs. I saw Caolan's talk on FOSDEM and it seemed not too difficult for
the simpler dialogs.


Well i think it belongs maybe in the Smooth lines dialog with a new
title for the dialog which seems reasonable easy to convert. I think
Caolan's tutorial will give you all the information you need for it.
If you sill have questions about it you can just ask and we will help
you with the task. An inital step would be to design the dialog in
glade and send it to the ML. Caolan or I can take care of the source
code part if necessary.

Regards,
Markus
