WebKitGTK+ hackfest improves HTML renderer for GNOME apps

webkit_html5_standards

Contributors to the WebKitGTK+ project recently gathered for a hackfest to improve the open source HTML renderer’s integration with the GTK+ toolkit. They added some cache control APIs, improved support for HTML5 video, form persistence, and other features.

The open source WebKit HTML rendering engine is increasingly being used in Linux desktop applications to enable richer user interfaces that seamlessly integrate Web content. We first looked at this phenomenon a few years ago when WebKit variants for the GTK+ and Qt application development toolkits first began to emerge. These variants are much more mature today and are used in a growing number of applications. WebKit has also been adopted in some native Linux Web browsers, including GNOME’s Epiphany.

Contributors to the WebKitGTK+ project recently participated in a hackfest in Spain. The event was sponsored by Igalia and Collabora, open source software companies that do GNOME engineering. WebKitGTK+ leverages several components from the GNOME platform ecosystem, including the Cairo rendering framework and the libsoup network library. One of the major goals for the hackfest was to improve the integration between these components and upstream Webkit. The developers also planned to implement or improve support for some key features that are used in Epiphany.

Many of the developers who participated in the hackfest wrote blog entries about the work they did during the event. A lot of nice improvements were made to the GStreamer-powered WebKitGTK+ HTML5 video implementation, including support for fullscreen playback and improved user interface controls. DOM bindings, accessibility, support for controlling the user-agent string, form persistence, and many other areas were addressed during the hackfest.

Digital Pen

Write on Form

Image Created

Handwriting conversion

Digital pens (sometimes known as electronic pens) look and work just like an ordinary pen but capture handwriting and drawings from paper forms and notes.

The digital pen works together with normal paper overprinted with a dot pattern and captures the pen strokes with a tiny camera. Each electronic pen can provide handheld data capture for up to 200 A4 pages of writing and the data can be uploaded by docking it with a PC or via a mobile phone.

The electronic data capture system provides the user with an exact image of the handwriting and form. It can also translate the handwriting to text which can then be used in the back office.

It is low cost, simple to use, reliable and, if used in conjunction with a mobile phone, can send data back from field to the office in an instant.

Digital pen and paper Solutions can be developed and deployed quickly. Training requirements are very low because form completion is a familiar and natural process.

If you are already using paper forms contact us today, you could be up and running with a digital pen and paper solution in weeks.
