There is a [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3772 ticket] with some useful information that I'm using on the porting and to keep tracking this port. Besides, this wiki page will be useful to write some code snippets about what are the difficulties that I'm having on the port and maybe can be useful for someone else.
I will take [[User:Humitos/PortingGetBooks|this guide]] as reference on the Gtk3 porting.

= Code Snippets =
= Port to Cairo =
'''README''': before to port this activity to GTK3, we should port it to Cairo as the first step and then move to GTK3. Here is the [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/attachment/ticket/3772/0001-Port-to-Cairo.2.patch PATCH]
gc = self.get_style().fg_gc[Gtk.StateType.NORMAL]
== Code Snippets ==
=== Draw a rectangle ===
To draw a rectangle we used to do:
gc = self.window.new_gc()
gc.foreground = self.area.get_colormap().alloc_color(50000, 50000, 50000)
self.area.window.draw_rectangle(gc, True, x, y, w, h)
The arguments for ''alloc_color'' are between 0-65535 and the ''set_source_rgb'' method from cairo are between 0-1, so we have to convert these values as well:
cr.set_source_rgb(0.762, 0.762, 0.762)
cr.rectangle(x, y, w, h)
cr.fill()
Note that the second attributo of ''draw_rectangle'' tells us about if the rectangle is filled or not. In this case is True, so we use ''cr.fill()'' in the new way but if we want just the outside lines of the rectangle we should use ''cr.stroke()''
=== Write some text ===
This is the old way to do it:
title = _('You finished!')
layout = self.area.create_pango_layout(title)
layout.set_font_description(pango.FontDescription('Serif Bold 16'))
size = layout.get_size()
tx = x+w/2-(size[0]/pango.SCALE)/2
ty = y + 100
self.area.window.draw_layout(gc, tx, ty, layout)
and this is the way that I used to do it with pangocairo:
title = _('You finished!')
pango_cr = pangocairo.CairoContext(cr)
pango_cr.set_source_rgb(0, 0, 0)
pango_layout = cr.create_layout()
pango_layout.set_font_description(pango.FontDescription('Serif Bold 16'))
pango_layout.set_text(title)
size = pango_layout.get_size()
tx = x + (w / 2) - (size[0] / pango.SCALE) / 2
ty = y + 100
pango_cr.move_to(tx, ty)
pango_cr.show_layout(pango_layout)
pango_cr.stroke()
=== Draw a line ===
This is the old way:
gc.foreground = self.area.get_colormap().alloc_color(0, 0, 0)
self.area.window.draw_line(gc, int(b.x), int(b.y + b.size / 2),
int(b.x), int(b.y + b.size))
and should be replaced by this new way using cairo
cr.set_source_rgb(0, 0, 0)
cr.move_to(int(b.x), int(b.y + b.size / 2))
cr.line_to(int(b.x), int(b.y + b.size))
cr.stroke()
=== Draw an arc ===
Old way to do it (notice the second argument of ''draw_arc'': '''filled'''):
gc.foreground = self.area.get_colormap().alloc_color(b.color[0],b.color[1],b.color[2])
self.area.window.draw_arc(gc, True, x-b.size/2, y-b.size/2, b.size, b.size, 0, 360*64)
new way:
cr.set_source_rgb(b.color[0], b.color[1], b.color[2])
cr.arc(b.x, b.y, b.size / 2, 0, 2 * math.pi)
cr.fill()
== Tips & tricks ==
=== Convert cairo.Surface to GdkPixbuf ===
import StringIO
surface = cairo.ImageSurface(cairo.FORMAT_RGB24, w, h)
cr = cairo.Context(surface)
[... draw something into the surface ...]
pixbuf_data = StringIO.StringIO()
surface.write_to_png(pixbuf_data)
pxb_loader = gtk.gdk.PixbufLoader(image_type='png')
pxb_loader.write(pixbuf_data.getvalue())
temp_pix = pxb_loader.get_pixbuf()
pxb_loader.close()
=== Paint a GdkPixbuf into the canvas ===
cr.set_source_pixbuf(self.backgroundpixbuf, 0, 0)
cr.rectangle(x, 0, self.backgroundpixbuf.get_width(),
self.backgroundpixbuf.get_height())
cr.paint()
==== Gtk3 version ====
Gdk.cairo_set_source_pixbuf(cr, self.backgroundpixbuf, 0, 0)
cr.rectangle(x, 0, self.backgroundpixbuf.get_width(),
self.backgroundpixbuf.get_height())
cr.paint()
= Port to Gtk3 -> Code Snippets =
== Gtk.TextBuffer ==
self.lessonbuffer = gtk.TextBuffer(self.tagtable)
self.lessontext = gtk.TextView(self.lessonbuffer)
replaced by:
self.lessonbuffer = Gtk.TextBuffer.new(self.tagtable)
self.lessontext = Gtk.TextView.new_with_buffer(self.lessonbuffer)
== Gdk.Event ==
event.state
replaced by:
event.get_state()
== Rsvg ==
import rsvg
image = rsvg.Handle(file=filename)
replaced by:
from gi.repository import Rsvg
image = Rsvg.Handle.new_from_file(filename)
== Gtk.TextTag ==
instructions_tag = Gtk.TextTag('instructions')
replaced by:
instructions_tag = Gtk.TextTag.new('instructions')
== Gdk.Keymap ==
entries = self.keymap.get_entries_for_keyval(keyval)
for e in entries:
e[0], e[1], e[2]
replaced by:
replaced by:
valid, entries = self.keymap.get_entries_for_keyval(keyval)
for e in entries:
e.keycode, e.group, e.level
Every entry was a tuple of (keycode, group, level). Now, this is an object with those attributes.
== GdkPixbuf.PixbufLoader ==
Change this:
pxb_loader = gtk.gdk.PixbufLoader(image_type='png')
by:
pxb_loader = GdkPixbuf.PixbufLoader.new_with_type('png')
== KEY_PRESS ==
This should be done by the '''pygi-convert.sh''' script.
gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS
gtk.gdk.KEY_RELEASE
replaced by
Gdk.EventType.KEY_PRESS
Gdk.EventType.KEY_RELEASE
== Gdk.Keymap.translate_keyboard_state ==
* http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Keyboard-Handling.html#gdk-keymap-translate-keyboard-state
* http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gdkkeymap.html#method-gdkkeymap--translate-keyboard-state
Old way:
t = self.keymap.translate_keyboard_state(key['key-scan'], self.active_state, self.active_group)
New way:
success, keyval, effective_group, level, consumed_modifiers = \
self.keymap.translate_keyboard_state(key['key-scan'], self.active_state,
self.active_group)
== 'expose-event' & 'draw' event ==
The new ''draw'' event that refers to the old ''expose-event'' into a Gtk.DrawingArea now receive the widget and the context instead the widget and the event:
''expose-event''
def expose_cb(self, area, event):
self.draw()
''draw'' event
def draw_cb(self, area, cr):
self.draw(cr)
= Notes =
* I found this chunk of code in the source (''keyboard.py'' '''L515''') and I didn't understand what it means
# Hack to get the current modifier state - which will not be represented by the event.
state = gtk.gdk.device_get_core_pointer().get_state(self.window)[1]
* I used a HACK related to Pango fonts and DPI:
<pre>
# Set correct DPI for Rsvg and Screen
from gi.repository import PangoCairo
def _get_screen_dpi():
xft_dpi = Gtk.Settings.get_default().get_property('gtk-xft-dpi')
dpi = float(xft_dpi / 1024)
logging.debug('Setting dpi to: %f', dpi)
# HACK: if the DPI detected is 200.0 it seems we are on an XO, so
# we return 133 because the XO manage its resolution in a complex
# way. More information here:
# http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Display
if 200 == int(dpi):
return 133
return dpi
dpi = _get_screen_dpi()
font_map_default = PangoCairo.font_map_get_default()
font_map_default.set_resolution(dpi)
</pre>

* [<span style="color: green;">SOLVED</span>] <del>This method, ''set_source_pixbuf'', is not available.</del>
* [<span style="color: green;">SOLVED</span>] <del>We should find the correct way to scale Left and Right hands that are drawn over the keyboard, because I just put values that I thought they were correct. We should calculate them according to the screen</del>
* [<span style="color: green;">SOLVED</span>] <del>PangoCairo fonts are not being drawn because of this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680680</del>
* [<span style="color: green;">SOLVED</span>] <del>Font Scale is wrong: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680663</del>
* SHIFT and ALT GR keys do not show the correct keys
