-The E-Table package implements an editable table that provides
-user-defined rendering, user-defined editing, sorting and grouping of
-the objects displayed.
-
-It is inspired by Java's Swing JTable object. There are models for
-the actual table contents and for the table headers; they are the
-actual repository of information.
-
-The objects are rendered by various view objects. In the current code
-base, we use we use GnomeCanvasItems to do the rendering. One for
-each table and one for the headers.
-
-* The Models
-
-All of them are GtkObjects.
-
-e-table-model.h, e-table-model.c:
-
- These implement the abstract E-Table-Model class. You
- can derive this object to create your own data repository.
-
- These emits signals to notify the views about selection, and
- changes in the model.
-
-e-table-simple.h, e-table-simple.c:
-
- A simple implementation of e-table-model that uses callback
- routines (you provide the callbacks). For lazy people, like
- me.
-
-e-cell.c, e-cell.h:
-
- These are actually mis-named. Objects of type e-cell know
- about rendering a single cell, and these are attached to the
- e-table-cols (described next).
-
- The user provides the various rendering modes as e-cells (they
- are actually column-rendering repositories).
-
- This is just an abstract class. I will provide various
- e-cells: a text cell, a checkbox cell, an image cell, and
- perhaps an n-state image cell (one that switches the image when
- the cell is clicked).
-
-e-table-col.h, e-table-col.c:
-
- Describes a single column (the size, the string displayed, the
- rendering function for each row and comparison function for
- this field).
-
-
-* The Views
-
-e-table-header.h, e-table-header.c:
-
- These implement the ETableHeaderItem canvas item. This item is
- used both to control the columns displayed as well as displaying them.
-
- They describe what columns are shown in the screen and in
- which order.
-
- These emit signals: column-size-changed and structure-changed
- (if a column is added/removed)
-
-e-table-item.c, e-table-item.h
-
- This is a canvas item that renders the contents of a
- ETableModel into the screen.
-
-e-table-header-item.c, e-table-header-item.h
-
- This canvas item renders the ETableHeader headings.
-
-e-cell-text.c, e-cell-text.h
-
- Not really a view, but actually a derivative of e-cell that
- implements text display: supports justification and font
- setting. Will add color in the future most likely
-
-
-* The Filters
-
-e-table-sorted.c, e-table-sorted.h
-
- This is an ETableModel that can sort an existing ETableModel.
-
-e-table-subset.c, e-table-subset.h
-
- Not finished, but it is just an ETableModel that happens to be
- a subset of another ETableModel.
-
-* Everything
-
-e-table.c, e-table.h
-
- In the future these guys will implement the whole widget for
- doing table editing. Nothing done about these yet.
