Made the spacing in tile mode smaller and cleaned up
the decorations to make them cleaner and more in line
with modern UIs like Win 8 and OSX.
Also parameterised the spacing / margins in HomeWindow
in case we want to add a slidebar to adjust them or
maybe even a zooming.
Setup code to enable revealed chart controls. When
in tabbed mode, if the cursor is towards the title
then the chart controls are revealed, as the cursor
moves away or off the chart the controls are hidden.
Each chart, that wants revealed controls must implement;
bool hasReveal() -- return true if controls are available
void reveal() -- show controls (must be at top of chart and a single line)
void unrveal() -- hide controls
Will now work through each chart adding the controls as needed.
Will also probably end up with a 'standard' flat stylesheet for
the controls, can implement this later.

Recent update to use deleteLater() when removing
a chart in the event loop /always/ deletes the chart
regardless of the user selection, this is because it
is deleted in the wrong place.
It was deleted when the user selected the close menu
option (in GoldenCheetah.cpp) rather than after the
user had confirmed (in HomeWindow.cpp).
The menu drop down can appear on the list view. This is
now disabled via a window property "nomenu".
Also set the new attribute to set native widgets on a Mac.
Part of a series of commits to adjust the UI on a Mac to
look more native and conform better to the Mac UI design
guidelines.
This patch introduces a unified title and toolbar which hosts
a search field and buttons for commonly used functions like
import, split ride, delete etc.
Since it is not possible (or more importantly good practice) to
hide and show toolbar items the Train View controls have now been
moved to the sidebar on a Mac. This is a temporary measure and
will be resolved in future updates.
Further updates planned are;
Part 2 - fixup the preferences pane to be more Mac-like
Part 3 - Spit and Polish around the charts; drop shadows, controls etc
But NOT for win32 and ONLY on the sidebar and tabwidget (for
performance reasons). Since most users prefer the tabbed look
anyway this should be ok.
Performance of the graphicseffect has improved remarkably in
the 2 years since we tried it before. Worth experimenting with
since it adds a bit of polish to the look and feel.
Users turn it on and off in options, it is off by default.
You can now add the summary chart to the diary
view to get a summary of the date range currently
being summarised on that view.
Once the Home view has its own sidebar that selects
date ranges you will be able to add it there too
and summarise seasons etc.
To allow charts to have a property set for the date range
to plot a new property is added. This will work in the same
manner as the "ride" property.
No functional enhancement.
The chart settings are no longer in the side bar and can be selected
from a drop down menu on the chart. This works in tiled and tabbed
mode and allows for further enhancements e.g. custom menu options
for commonly use config options (ala Android).
This is part of a series of updates to migrate away from a sidebar
that is a toolbox of ridelist etc and move back towards a context
sensitive sidebar.
A rudimentary calendar, not customisable or resizable
and only every selects first ride for the day selected.
But it is the beginning of the widgets needed for the
new UI "look" discussed on the list.
Need to work on font sizes for Win/Mac and refining
the whole look and feel. Especially a sidebar widget
to put it in!
Fixes#369.
Updated the realtime plots and dials to use the colour
settings from the ride plot. So if you prefer plots of
light colours on dark backgrounds you can do this now.
The use of colour on the telemetry values makes it easier
to distinguish which value related to power et al .. especially
when you're pushing out that last max power interval.
By making the grid 'relatively' small snap to grid feels
quite acceptable as a standard way of resizing, alleviating
the need to make it a user preference.
The old 'smooth' resizing was a pain to get things lined up
nicely and thus is deprecated in favour of this scheme.
The tile view will now layout the charts in a more efficient
manner. It still attempts to run from top to bottom and then
left to right when laying out charts, but now, if there is
any space and the chart will fit in it, it will be moved.
This means you can layout the view with smaller charts surrounding
or to the left of right of a larger one. This is particularly
useful when looking at say a large summary window with a smaller
map and a route profile etc.
It can be a little disconcerting however, since charts will
suddenly 'disappear' when you resize them -- of course they
don't disappear they just move to a space that can accomodate
them.
We could make 'smart' layouts optional if users get thrown by it.
Lastly, fixed a bug when resizing charts -- if they move position
when resizing then the delta (size change) is miscalculated. This
is avoided now by ending any resize action when a chart moves.
Fixes#453.
Fixups for a GC toolbar and the first pass at trying
to make the look and feel more professional. Whilst the
overall usefulness of the toolbar is moot, the grpahics
show the way for greater attention to detail.
Specifically;
* The sidebar should adopt a similar look/feel
* Chart title bars should adopt a similar look/feel
* Sidebar panes should be unified with the same look
* The style selector needs to move - it is cluttering
up the general clean look.
The code is a little ghetto in places, but will fix up
as the cosmetics are sorted.
They're dog slow and looking through the QT bug
tracker no longer developed or supported on normal
QT widgets without QT Quick.
They also break drag and drop on Win7 64bit.
Fixes#324.
Dropshadows currently kill the CPU. This is caused by the way
they are implemented in GC and not QT. More work is needed to
make them fast.
For now, this patch makes the default to NOT have drop shadows.
Highlight entire route to make the route stand out
more obviously when power zone colour schemes are
subtle (or white).
Changes the window bar to the metadata field 'Route' if
it is present. This is done by introducing a new 'subtitle'
property on a GcWindow that can be set programmatically. This
is equivalent to the old 'title' above each chart.
Removed the horrible dock widget and uses same sidebar
as windows and linux. Removed segmented button for now
since there are a few issues, but retained the code for
the future.
QGraphicsDropShadowEffect needs Qt 4.7.3 to
be guaranteed to work correctly. This is inline
with the statement that Qt 4.6 is mandatory
whilst later releases are desirable.
After discussion on the list the utility and popularity of
the original tab view was restated. This patch reinstates
the tab view and attempts to unify the Qt tab widget with
the general look and feel of the application.
Added a dropshadow effect for window tiles and made the
title embossed for a more professional look.
Also fixed a couple more compile time nits introduced
by recent commits.
Less jarring UI with simple use of color and
no pixmaps to make a clean look. Will need
more work to get consistent across the code
base.
A simple and clean UI is starting to emerge.
If you have not compiled in support for a particular
chart (e.g. 3d) then the drag/drop event will just
create a blank chart (base GcWindow).
The constructor for a null chart did not initialise
properties and caused an intermittend crash because
the controls pointer was occassionally not NULL.
Lots of nitty fixups, largely for uninitialised temporary
variables.
I have left the use of boost::function and boost::bind in the
DownloadRideDialog alone, so it will vomit when compiled
with boost 1.46 and gcc 4.5 or higher. Will look into this
more carefully at a later stage.
I am working up to resolving issues identified from -pedantic next.
This fixes issues with date range editing in the Metrics controls
and provides support for Season load planning (under development).
Creating and selecting seasons is largely managed within the
Metrics tool. This has not been changed with this patch. Athlete
seasons are now managed as a member of the MainWindow class (although
this will move to an Athlete/Cyclist class when MainWindow is
refactored).
A Season identifier (UUID) has been introduced to enable Seasons to
be referenced independently of their name or date ranges. The LTM
tool now keeps track of changes to Seasons (when new seasons are
created, changed, deleted). Additionally, the Season XML file now
supports storage of a Season Load Plan.
The previous commit enabling tile 'bumping' as
you move them around proved impractical with
charts that largely filled the screen.
This patch replaces this approach (original code
is retained though) by using a 'cursor' to show
where charts will be dropped / moved to and moving
or dropping to this position.
This means the layout code is complete, except for
potentially adding support for multiple layouts (e.g.
have saved layouts for different purposes like
LTM charts for last 6 months or 28 days or an
agenda view that shows past week next week calendar).
More work to support moving tiles on HomeWindow. This update
adds tile movement and 'pushing' other tiles out the way as
you move them around.
Tile ordering/positioning is still todo, but this introduces
the visual feedback during a move for the user.
