Line 1: − Level Tool is an activity to check the inclination of a surface with respect to ground.+ − '''Note: You need XO 1.75+ laptop, to use Level Tool.'''+ − [[File:Level.png | 600px]] − === How does Level Tool work ===+ − − Level Tool uses your accelerometer to detect the inclination of your XO with respect to ground and displays it in a well defined circular grid. − − === Where to get Level Tool === − − The Level Tool activity is available for download from the [http://activities.sugarlabs.org Sugar Activity Library]: [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4628 Level Tool] − − The source code is available on [http://git.sugarlabs.org/level-tool the Sugar Labs Gitorious server]. − − === Where to report problems === − − You can report bugs and make feature requests [https://bugs.sugarlabs.org on our bug-tracking system] (You need to create an account first). Please add "lionaneesh" in the CC list to notify the maintainer [untill we get our own component]. − − === Localization tips === − − In short, this activity uses the XO 1.75 and XO-4 internal accelerometer to − measure the tilt of the laptop in the horizontal plane and display x − and y coordinates (to two decimal places). − − The only three strings in the PO file are. − − − Level − − x: %.2f − − y: %.2f − − − In this context, the meaning of the word Level would be a verb form (we try to name activities with verbs to show they are for "doing") and it would represent that action of making something flat in the horizontal plane. − − "She levels the sand before building a castle." − − It does NOT have the connotation of "height", as in "the sound level is too high". − − If a verb form of "level" is awkward or not available, a noun form describing the instrument used to measure flatness in the horizontal plane, would be acceptable and an accurate description of the function the activity provides. − − As for the other two strings − − x: %.2f − − y: %.2f − − The x and y represent the lower-case x and y symbols employed to describe two of the axes in the Cartesian coordinate system, they are not really the Latin alphabet letters themselves, but those letters used as symbols to represent a mathematical concept, in the same manner that the Greek letter "π" or pi is used to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter. For many languages, there will be no need to change the x or y symbol at all, because the true source language of "mathematics" has a certain universality. The rest of those two strings "%.2f" instructs the program to display numbers with two decimal points of precision and should not be changed in L10n. − − − === Author === − − This activity is created by [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Aneesh_Dogra Aneesh Dogra] − − [[Category:Activity]] − [[Category:Activities]]
