Branding
Este artículo describe el Marcado de FreeCAD. Marcado significa comenzar tu propia aplicación basada en FreeCAD. Esto puede ser sólo tu propio ejecutable o pantalla de bienvenida pantalla de bienvenida hasta un programa completo adaptado. En base a la arquitectura flexible de FreeCAD es sencillo de utilizar como base para tus propios programas de propósito especial.
General
La mayoría del marcado se realiza en MainCmd.cpp o MainGui.cpp. Estos proyectos generan los archivos ejecutables de FreeCAD. Para crear tu propia Marca simplemente copia los proyectos Main o MainGui y dale al ejecutable un nombre diferente, e.g. FooApp.exe.
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
// Name and Version of the Application
App::Application::Config()["ExeName"] = "FooApp";
App::Application::Config()["ExeVersion"] = "0.7";
// set the banner (for loging and console)
App::Application::Config()["CopyrightInfo"] = sBanner;
App::Application::Config()["AppIcon"] = "FooAppIcon";
App::Application::Config()["SplashScreen"] = "FooAppSplasher";
App::Application::Config()["StartWorkbench"] = "Part design";
App::Application::Config()["HiddenDockWindow"] = "Property editor";
App::Application::Config()["SplashAlignment" ] = "Bottom|Left";
App::Application::Config()["SplashTextColor" ] = "#000000"; // black
// Inits the Application
App::Application::Config()["RunMode"] = "Gui";
App::Application::init(argc,argv);
Gui::BitmapFactory().addXPM("FooAppSplasher", ( const char** ) splash_screen);
Gui::Application::initApplication();
Gui::Application::runApplication();
App::Application::destruct();
return 0;
}
La configuración más importante para una nueva apariencia puede realizarse en una lugar de la función main(). Aquí está la sección de código que controla el marcado:
The next lines define the Config entries of your FooApp Application. A description of the Config and its entries you find in Start up and Configuration.
Images
Image resources are compiled into FreeCAD using Qt's resource system. Therefore you have to write a .qrc file, an XML-based file format that lists image files on the disk but also any other kind of resource files. To load the compiled resources inside the application you have to add a line
Q_INIT_RESOURCE(FooApp);
into the main() function. Alternatively, if you have an image in XPM format you can directly include it into your main.cpp and add the following line to register it:
Gui::BitmapFactory().addXPM("FooAppSplasher", ( const char** ) splash_screen);
Branding XML
In FreeCAD there is also a method supported without writing a customized main() function. For this method you must write a file name called branding.xml and put it into the installation directory of FreeCAD. Here is an example with all supported tags:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Branding>
<Application>FooApp</Application>
<WindowTitle>Foo App in title bar</WindowTitle>
<BuildVersionMajor>1</BuildVersionMajor>
<BuildVersionMinor>0</BuildVersionMinor>
<BuildRevision>1234</BuildRevision>
<BuildRevisionDate>2014/1/1</BuildRevisionDate>
<CopyrightInfo>(c) My copyright</CopyrightInfo>
<MaintainerUrl>Foo App URL</MaintainerUrl>
<ProgramLogo>Path to logo (appears in bottom right corner)</ProgramLogo>
<WindowIcon>Path to icon file</WindowIcon>
<ProgramIcons>Path to program icons</ProgramIcons>
<SplashScreen>splashscreen.png</SplashScreen>
<SplashAlignment>Bottom|Left</SplashAlignment>
<SplashTextColor>#ffffff</SplashTextColor>
<SplashInfoColor>#c8c8c8</SplashInfoColor>
<StartWorkbench>PartDesignWorkbench</StartWorkbench>
</Branding>
All of the listed tags are optional.
