[GRASS-dev] GSoC 2021: Week 9: First steps towards a new GRASS GIS Single-Window GUI

Hello everyone,

I am sending my Week 9 report (August 2 - August 6). It can be also found at the project wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2021/SingleWindowLayout#Week9.

1) What did I complete this week?

First of all, I completed the big refactoring PR [1]. It is ready for review and will be merged after GRASS 8 release.

Secondly, I implemented the layout which will be used for startup [2]. It looks exactly as the third option presented here: [3]. Unfortunately, I am a bit stuck here with size settings for the automatic notebook I made. As for this PR, we had a video call with Anna on Thursday and agreed to not deal with perspectives now because there are still more crucial things that need to be fixed or reorganised. Lastly, I started to work on events. This PR [4] deals with the first of two events in this Issue [5] - AuiNotebook changing event.

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

The priorities for the next week are first to finish PRs [2] and [4] and to set up a new PR for AuiNotebook closing event. We also decided to move New Display button to a different place and to have one independent toolbar for each Display tab. So if some time remains, I would also implement this reorganising stuff. But generally speaking, the closing event for AuiNotebook is the last thing which is needed to do for the working Single-Window GUI prototype.

3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, It is not.
