+This directory contains code related to the Inkscape desktop, that is
+code that is directly used by the InkscapeWindow class and in linking
+the desktop to the canvas. It should not contain basic widgets,
+dialogs, toolbars, etc.
+
+To do:
+
+* widgets/desktop-widget.h/cpp should disappear with code ending up in either
+  InkscapeWindow.h/cpp or desktop.h/cpp (or in new files).
+
+* ui/view/view-widget.h/cpp should disappear ('view' should be member of window)
+
+* desktop.h/cpp should only contain code that links the desktop to the canvas.
+
+* Convert GUI to use actions where possible.
+
+* Future Structure:
+    Main menu bar   (menubar.h/.cpp)
+    Tool bar
+    Multipaned widget containing
+        Dialogs
+        Tools
+        Canvas
+    Palette (maybe turn into dialog).
+    Status bar

+# Dialog System
+
+Author: vanntile
+
+The dialog system used for dialog-type widgets is made out of the classes
+defined in the following header files (each explained later on):
+
+- dialog-container.h
+- dialog-multipaned.h
+- dialog-notebook.h
+- dialog-window.h
+- dialog-base.h
+
+This is a Gtk::Notebook based dialog manager with a GIMP style multipane.
+Dialogs can live only inside DialogNotebooks, as pages in the inner
+Gtk::Notebook, with their own tabs. A DialogNotebook itself is one of the
+children of a DialogMultipaned. There can be several levels of DialogMultipaned,
+but the top parent is a DialogContainer, which manages the existence of such
+dialogs.
+
+DialogMultipaned is a paned-type container which supports resizing the children
+by dragging the separator "handle" widgets. More than this, it supports the
+addition of new children (in DialogNotebook) by drag-and-dropping them at the
+extremeties of a multipane, where you can find dropzones (left and right for
+horizontal ones, or top and bottom for vertical ones).
+
+Dialogs can also live independently in their own DialogWindow. In this floating
+state, they track the last active window, while in the attached (docked) state,
+they track the InkscapeWindow they are in. You can drag tabs from DialogNotebook
+to move a DialogBase (or child class instance) between windows. In Wayland,
+if you drag the tab to an invalid position, it will create automatically a
+DialogWindow to live in.
+
+DialogContainers are instantiated with a horizontal DialogMultipaned.
+
+## Initialisation
+
+The initial DialogContainer is created inside a DesktopWidget, then inserting
+toolbars and an empty vertical DialogMultipaned where new dialogs will be added.
+
+## Adding a new dialog
+
+In order to add a new dialog to a window, you have to call the method
+`new_dialog(const Glib::ustring& dialog_type)` on the container inside
+the desktop of the window.  Allowed dialog types can be found in the
+dialog-container.cpp file.

+     *     with the user specifying the 6 degrees of freedom manually.
+     *
+     * The dialog is implemented as a Gtk::Notebook with five pages.
+     * The pages are implemented using Inkscape's NotebookPage which
+     * is used to help make sure all of Inkscape's notebooks follow
+     * the same style.  We then populate the pages with our widgets,

+This directory contains code related to on-screen editing knots.
+
+Note that there are classes with similar functionality based on the ControlPoint class in src/ui/tool.
+
+Classes here:
+
+  * SPKnot              A class that describes a knot (size, type, position, state, etc.) with some signals.
+
+  * KnotHolderEntity    A class that has an SPKnot with some signals connections.
+
+      Derived classes:
+
+         LPEKnotHolderEntity
+         PatternKnotHolderEntity
+         HatchKnotHolderEntity
+         FilterKnotHolderEntity

+         VectorParamKnotHolderEntity_Origin
+         VectorParamKnotHolderEntity_Vector
+
+         And many classes derived from above!
+
+  * KnotHolder         A class that has one or more overlapping knots via KnotHolderEntity's.
+
+      Derived classes:
+
+         ArcKnotHolder

+/**
+ * Draggable point, the workhorse of on-canvas editing.
+ *
+ * Control points (formerly known as knots) are graphical representations of some significant
+ * point in the drawing. The drawing can be changed by dragging the point and the things that are
+ * attached to it with the mouse. Example things that could be edited with draggable points
+ * are gradient stops, the place where text is attached to a path, text kerns, nodes and handles
+ * in a path, and many more.
+ *
+ * @par Control point event handlers
+ * @par
+ * The control point has several virtual methods which allow you to react to things that
+ * happen to it. The most important ones are the grabbed, dragged, ungrabbed and moved functions.
+ * When a drag happens, the order of calls is as follows:
+ * - <tt>grabbed()</tt>
+ * - <tt>dragged()</tt>
+ * - <tt>dragged()</tt>
+ * - <tt>dragged()</tt>
+ * - ...
+ * - <tt>dragged()</tt>
+ * - <tt>ungrabbed()</tt>
+ *
+ * The control point can also respond to clicks and double clicks. On a double click,
+ * clicked() is called, followed by doubleclicked(). When deriving from SelectableControlPoint,
+ * you need to manually call the superclass version at the appropriate point in your handler.
+ *
+ * @par Which method to override?
+ * @par
+ * You might wonder which hook to use when you want to do things when the point is relocated.
+ * Here are some tips:
+ * - If the point is used to edit an object, override the move() method.
+ * - If the point can usually be dragged wherever you like but can optionally be constrained
+ *   to axes or the like, add a handler for <tt>signal_dragged</tt> that modifies its new
+ *   position argument.
+ * - If the point has additional canvas items tied to it (like handle lines), override
+ *   the setPosition() method.

+ *
+ * Because paths can be cyclic, node iterators have two different ways to
+ * increment and decrement them. When using ++/--, the end iterator will eventually
+ * be returned. When using advance()/retreat(), the end iterator will only be returned
+ * when the path is open. If it's closed, calling advance() will cycle indefinitely.
+ * This is particularly useful for cases where the adjacency of nodes is more important
+ * than their sequence order.
+ *
+ * When @a i is a node iterator, then:
+ * - <code>++i</code> moves the iterator to the next node in sequence order;
+ * - <code>--i</code> moves the iterator to the previous node in sequence order;
+ * - <code>i.next()</code> returns the next node with wrap-around;
+ * - <code>i.prev()</code> returns the previous node with wrap-around;
+ * - <code>i.advance()</code> moves the iterator to the next node with wrap-around;
+ * - <code>i.retreat()</code> moves the iterator to the previous node with wrap-around.
+ *
+ * next() and prev() do not change their iterator. They can return the end iterator
+ * if the path is open.
+ *
+ * Unlike most other iterators, you can check whether you've reached the end of the list
+ * without having access to the iterator's container.
+ * Simply use <code>if (i) { ...</code>

+ * TODO:
+ *  o  Show a visual indicator for objects with the 'avoid' property set.
+ *  o  Allow user to change a object between a path and connector through
+ *     the interface.
+ *  o  Create an interface for setting markers (arrow heads).
+ *  o  Better distinguish between paths and connectors to prevent problems
+ *     in the node tool and paths accidentally being turned into connectors
+ *     in the connector tool.  Perhaps have a way to convert between.
+ *  o  Only call libavoid's updateEndPoint as required.  Currently we do it
+ *     for both endpoints, even if only one is moving.
+ *  o  Deal sanely with connectors with both endpoints attached to the
+ *     same connection point, and drawing of connectors attaching
+ *     overlapping shapes (currently tries to adjust connector to be
+ *     outside both bounding boxes).
+ *  o  Fix many special cases related to connectors updating,
+ *     e.g., copying a couple of shapes and a connector that are
+ *           attached to each other.
+ *     e.g., detach connector when it is moved or transformed in
+ *           one of the other contexts.
+ *  o  Cope with shapes whose ids change when they have attached
+ *     connectors.
+ *  o  During dragging motion, gobble up to and use the final motion event.
+ *     Gobbling away all duplicates after the current can occasionally result
+ *     in the path lagging behind the mouse cursor if it is no longer being
+ *     dragged.
+ *  o  Fix up libavoid's representation after undo actions.  It doesn't see
+ *     any transform signals and hence doesn't know shapes have moved back to
+ *     there earlier positions.
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *
+ *  Much of the way connectors work for user-defined points has been
+ *  changed so that it no longer defines special attributes to record
+ *  the points. Instead it uses single node paths to define points
+ *  who are then separate objects that can be fixed on the canvas,
+ *  grouped into objects and take full advantage of all transform, snap
+ *  and align functionality of all other objects.
+ *
+ *     I think that the style change between polyline and orthogonal
+ *     would be much clearer with two buttons (radio behaviour -- just
+ *     one is true).
+ *
+ *     The other tools show a label change from "New:" to "Change:"
+ *     depending on whether an object is selected.  We could consider
+ *     this but there may not be space.
+ *
+ *     Likewise for the avoid/ignore shapes buttons.  These should be
+ *     inactive when a shape is not selected in the connector context.

+/** @struct NodeTool
+ *
+ * Node tool event context.
+ *
+ * @par Architectural overview of the tool
+ * @par
+ * Here's a breakdown of what each object does.
+ * - Handle: shows a handle and keeps the node type constraint (smooth / symmetric) by updating
+ *   the other handle's position when dragged. Its move() method cannot violate the constraints.
+ * - Node: keeps node type constraints for auto nodes and smooth nodes at ends of linear segments.
+ *   Its move() method cannot violate constraints. Handles linear grow and dispatches spatial grow
+ *   to MultiPathManipulator. Keeps a reference to its NodeList.
+ * - NodeList: exposes an iterator-based interface to nodes. It is possible to obtain an iterator
+ *   to a node from the node. Keeps a reference to its SubpathList.
+ * - SubpathList: list of NodeLists that represents an editable pathvector. Keeps a reference
+ *   to its PathManipulator.
+ * - PathManipulator: performs most of the single-path actions like reverse subpaths,
+ *   delete segment, shift selection, etc. Keeps a reference to MultiPathManipulator.
+ * - MultiPathManipulator: performs additional operations for actions that are not per-path,
+ *   for example node joins and segment joins. Tracks the control transforms for PMs that edit
+ *   clipping paths and masks. It is more or less equivalent to ShapeEditor and in the future
+ *   it might handle all shapes. Handles XML commit of actions that affect all paths or
+ *   the node selection and removes PathManipulators that have no nodes left after e.g. node
+ *   deletes.
+ * - ControlPointSelection: keeps track of node selection and a set of nodes that can potentially
+ *   be selected. There can be more than one selection. Performs actions that require no
+ *   knowledge about the path, only about the nodes, like dragging and transforms. It is not
+ *   specific to nodes and can accommodate any control point derived from SelectableControlPoint.
+ *   Transforms nodes in response to transform handle events.
+ * - TransformHandleSet: displays nodeset transform handles and emits transform events. The aim
+ *   is to eventually use a common class for object and control point transforms.
+ * - SelectableControlPoint: base for any type of selectable point. It can belong to only one
+ *   selection.
+ *
+ * @par Functionality that resides in weird places
+ * @par
+ *
+ * This list is probably incomplete.
+ * - Curve dragging: CurveDragPoint, controlled by PathManipulator
+ * - Single handle shortcuts: MultiPathManipulator::event(), ModifierTracker
+ * - Linear and spatial grow: Node, spatial grow routed to ControlPointSelection
+ * - Committing handle actions performed with the mouse: PathManipulator
+ * - Sculpting: ControlPointSelection
+ *
+ * @par Plans for the future
+ * @par
+ * - MultiPathManipulator should become a generic shape editor that manages all active manipulator,
+ *   more or less like the old ShapeEditor.
+ * - Knotholder should be rewritten into one manipulator class per shape, using the control point
+ *   classes. Interesting features like dragging rectangle sides could be added along the way.
+ * - Better handling of clip and mask editing, particularly in response to undo.
+ * - High level refactoring of the event context hierarchy. All aspects of tools, like toolbox
+ *   controls, icons, event handling should be collected in one class, though each aspect
+ *   of a tool might be in an separate class for better modularity. The long term goal is to allow
+ *   tools to be defined in extensions or shared library plugins.

+This directory contains the class Inkscape::UI::View::View and related items.
+
+View is an abstract base class for all UI document views. Documents
+can be displayed by more than one window, each having its own view
+(e.g. zoom level, selection, etc.).
+
+View is the base class for:
+
+* SPDesktop
+* SVGView  REMOVED
+
+SPViewWidget is the base for:
+
+* SPDocumentWidget
+* SPSVGViewWidget  REMOVED
+
+SPSVGViewWidget has been replaced by SVGViewWidget, see below.
+
+
+SPViewWidget:
+  Contains a GtkEventBox and holds a View.
+
+SPDesktopWidget:
+  Contains:
+    VBox
+      HBox
+        GtkGrid
+         GtkPaned
+           GtkGrid
+             SPCanvas
+   Plus lots of other junk.
+
+
+SVGViewWidget:
+  Used many places as a convenient way to show an SVG (file dialog, Inkview).
+  Derived, rather uselessly, from Gtk::Scrollbar.
+  It no longer is dependent on View (and really doesn't belong here anymore).
+
+ It contains: SPCanvas
+
+To do:
+
+
+* Convert everything to C++.
+* Evaluate moving SPDesktopWidget down the widget stack.
+  It doesn't use the EventBox of SPViewWidget!
+
+A DesktopViewWidget should contain:
+  DesktopView (aka SPDesktop)
+  SPCanvas

+ *   The canvas is responsible for rendering the SVG drawing with various "control"
+ *   items below and on top of the drawing. Rendering is triggered by a call to one of:
+ *
+ *
+ *   * redraw_all()     Redraws the entire canvas by calling redraw_area() with the canvas area.
+ *
+ *   * redraw_area()    Redraws the indicated area. Use when there is a change that doesn't affect
+ *                      a CanvasItem's geometry or size.
+ *
+ *   * request_update() Redraws after recalculating bounds for changed CanvasItems. Use if a
+ *                      CanvasItem's geometry or size has changed.
+ *
+ *   The first three functions add a request to the Gtk's "idle" list via
+ *
+ *   * add_idle()       Which causes Gtk to call when resources are available:
+ *
+ *   * on_idle()        Which sets up the backing stores, divides the area of the canvas that has been marked
+ *                      unclean into rectangles that are small enough to render quickly, and renders them outwards
+ *                      from the mouse with a call to:
+ *
+ *   * paint_rect_internal() Which paints the rectangle using paint_single_buffer(). It renders onto a Cairo
+ *                           surface "backing_store". After a piece is rendered there is a call to:
+ *
+ *   * queue_draw_area() A Gtk function for marking areas of the window as needing a repaint, which when
+ *                       the time is right calls:
+ *
+ *   * on_draw()        Which blits the Cairo surface to the screen.
+ *
+ *   The other responsibility of the canvas is to determine where to send GUI events. It does this
+ *   by determining which CanvasItem is "picked" and then forwards the events to that item. Not all
+ *   items can be picked. As a last resort, the "CatchAll" CanvasItem will be picked as it is the
+ *   lowest CanvasItem in the stack (except for the "root" CanvasItem). With a small be of work, it
+ *   should be possible to make the "root" CanvasItem a "CatchAll" eliminating the need for a
+ *   dedicated "CatchAll" CanvasItem. There probably could be efficiency improvements as some
+ *   items that are not pickable probably should be which would save having to effectively pick
+ *   them "externally" (e.g. gradient CanvasItemCurves).
