My last article of Maemo 6 UI Framework was about the layouts and how they work and are designed. In that article, I criticized a bit the implementation because in my opinion they could have used QStateMachine and Qt Animation Framework combination to make the design simpler. One of my principles is that if I criticize something, I need to be able to provide an alternative solution, but it might not be a better than the orignal one:) I guess there’s no sense review anything if you are not able to provide any feedback and alternative ways to do things. So the result speaks most. Here’s a youtube video running animated layouts on N900.

Tag: “state machine editor”I have an idea that my blog should also introduce interesting projects that I find from the wonderful internet. Because I like Qt, I prefer to introduce Qt projects:) A colleague of mine, Jan Ekholm aka Chakie is one of the real Qt Gurus at least in my opinion. If I remember right, he has used Qt something like 15 years now.
Jan has started a very interesting project called State Machine Editor. At the time of writing this article, the actual software is not ready yet, but at least I can tell you little bit about it. Below you can see the screenshot with a simple state diagram. (Yes, I draw that:) The source code is available from the Gitorious: http://gitorious.org/state-machine-editor.
