calligra Under the Hood

By Boudewijn Rempt

The Calligra Suite (formely known as KOffice) is modern application suite comprising productivity and creativity applications. The productivity applications natively support the OpenDocument standard. Through a plugin system, conversion from most Microsoft Office file formats is supported. Because of a clear separation between engine and user interface, it is easy to create new user interfaces on top of the existing engine. Calligra provides support both for QWidget-based applications as for QGraphicsView and Qt Quick based applications. During this presentation, you will learn how to show an OpenDocument document using a Calligra canvas in a host application -- both QWidget-based and Qt Quick based. We will also discuss remaining issues in the Calligra architecture and the way forward to resolve those.
