Marble embedded in KPresenter

Description

geoshape is a so called shape, a plugin that can be used in (nearly) any Koffice2 application, like KWord, KPresenter and so on. At the moment it is limited to displaying a simple map, like they can be seen in Marble. Features like displaying adresses from a spreadsheet might follow later but are nowhere near implemented.

Current Features

• loading
• saving
• zoom/navigation
• search (no undo for that yet)
• undo/redo
• a fallback generic .png image for "less capable" office suits (read OpenOffice) is included

Ideas (no promise)

• searching and displaying points from a spreadsheet (adressess, gps, etc)

How to get it

can be found in playground/office/geoshape

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/office/geoshape

needs at least

• koffice2 beta 5 or later
• marble from KDE 4.2 ( trunk not tested )

Compile it using the standard procedure

cmake .
make
make install

File Format

Warning: The file format is simply based on what was simplest to save. If there's interest from other parties in a common format I would love to hear about it. Until then it might change in future.
