The following is the rough plan that we're trying to follow for building out the new graphics platform. Please run changes/additions/etc by me before making them.


The Plan(tm):

  1. Things to do first
    • Move to cairo 1.111
    • Expose thebes
      • Update thebes to use new cairo
      • Document thebes
      • Put simple thebes accessor on nsIRenderingContext for doing native drawing with thebes
  2. Next
    • Convert canvas from cairo to thebes
    • Convert gfx/src/cairo to gfx/src/thebes
    • Fix fonts
      • Windows - Rewrite to use Uniscribe
      • Linux - Use Pango code and drop XFT in favor of cairo
      • Mac - Rewrite to use ATSUI
    • Work out remaining problems with thebes gfx backend
      • incorrect rendering
      • aliasing problems
      • color problems
      • double buffering
  3. Zoom zoom
    • Make cairo fast enough to use
      • Optimize all cairo native backends
        • Windows
        • Linux
        • Mac
      • Optimize core cairo code paths
  4. Reorg
    • Move useful old GFX APIs and implementations to Widget
      • nsIScreen*
      • parts of nsIDeviceContext
      • parts of nsIPrint*
  5. Now for the hard part...
    • Printing
      • ugh.
  6. Landing
    • Break the world
  7. Cleanup
    • Fix fallout
  8. Update the world
    • Convert layout and other places from the old gfx apis (nsIRenderingContext and friends) to the new Thebes APIs.
  9. Roll credits
    • Remove old graphics code!
    • Have party

Future stuff/Things we'd like

  • Glitz
    • Windows
      • Get working
    • Linux
      • Get working
      • Fix plugins
    • Mac
      • Get working
  • 3D
  • downloadable fonts
