LibreOfficeKit
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
LibreOfficeKit can be used for accessing LibreOffice functionality
|
|
through C/C++, without any need to use UNO.
|
|
|
|
For now it only offers document conversion (in addition to an experimental
|
|
tiled rendering API).
|
|
|
|
Integrating LOK into other software
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LOK functionality can be accessed by including LibreOfficeKit.h[xx] in your
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
LOK initialisation (lok_init) requires the inclusion of LibreOfficeKitInit.h
|
|
in your program. Should you be using the C++ LibreOfficeKit.hxx header you
|
|
must first include LibreOfficeKitInit.h followed by LibreOfficeKit.hxx in any
|
|
files where you need to use lok_cpp_init.
|
|
|
|
(LibreOfficeKit.hxx is a simple and fully inlined C++ wrapper for the same
|
|
functionality as in LibreOfficeKit.h.)
|
|
|
|
An example program (currently using the older shim.c/static library
|
|
integration) can be seen on:

|
|
|
|
Tiled Rendering
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
To use LOK Tiled Rendering you will need the following before the LOK includes:
|
|
#define LOK_USE_UNSTABLE_API
|
|
|
|
(This must be define before ANY LOK header, i.e. including the Init header.)
|
|
|
|
Currently only bitmap-buffer rendering is supported, with a 32-bit RGBA
|
|
colourspace (further alternatives could feasibly be implemented as needed).
|
|
Scanlines are ordered top-down (whereas LibreOffice will internally default
|
|
to bottom-up).
|
|
|
|
LibreOfficeKitGtk
|
|
*****************
|
|
|
|
Currently consists of only a very basic GTK+ document viewer widget.
|
|
|
|
Currently this simply renders the entire document as one large tile (for
|
|
Writer) and/or entire sheet for Calc, which can be somewhat slow with
|
|
larger documents.
