Yesterday, I received an American inquiry information, which is about the vector-based program development. I may need to do Flash or Java Script. I thought he was going to develop on JFDRAW, so nonsense said a lot , Tired of me ..
The following is his question and my reply:
Dear, Heather Rodburg, Thank you very much to send us this email Now let's make some short answers about your questions:. Question: I am emailing you to inquire about the possibility of JF Imagine to develop an interactive CD with a delivery date of 8 / 1/05. We are looking for a company who would be able to do the backend programming, utilizing Flash or JavaScript, for a vector based design program that has much of the same functionality as PowerPoint with some of elements of Photoshop and Illustrator also . incorporated We have developed the wireframes and are currently in the process of designing the program interface Answer:. We would very like to help you with your project and also, we would like to start that interactive CD based on our project, JFDraw (. http://www.jfimagine.com). I suppose you have completely used / learned this Java based project. But I'm sorry that JFDraw is a totally Java based one, it did not use any 3rd party technologies something like Flash , JavaScript, Power point, photoshop or Illustrator. All the shapes and features were created by java and used by JFDraw itself. So we do not know how can the project would cooperate with your wireframes developed. Maybe you can tell us the detail information about the cooperation. Question: The Some Basic Details of The Program Are Follows: Have A Library of 1000
vector-based images (already created) which will allow the user to drag and drop the art to an artboard. When on the artboard, the user will be able to edit and manipulate the points to fit their design needs. They will have the ability to skew and give perspective to this artwork Answer:.. JFDraw has its own Libraries / Templates panel already to allow users to make customized libraries (vector based images) User can add any vector drawings on the art board into libraries, or bring any libraries and templates to the art board But it now has some disadvantages, it's not a drag and drop action to pick-up libraries and it has no pre-defined libraries for use Question:.. Have a color swatch / fabric pattern library that will be provided from suppliers which the user will be able to "fill" the artwork with Answer:. JFDraw has some pre-defined 'Fill' pattern, (Right click the shapes in JFDraw, then click decorate-> Fill Format), that's easy to Use and can also be expanded in Other Fill Pattern. Qu estion: Be able to create and fill shapes Answer: It's sure JFDraw can do this or more Question:. Import image files into the program artboard which the user will then drag and drop library items onto Answer: It's no problem with this point Question. : Manage all of the created files through a portfolio feature which will function a lot like the presentation option in PowerPoint Answer:. in that case, we need to make a new presentation method and try to manage those created files in a specified directory that. '
s possible Question:. The program will need to be compatible with Windows 98 and higher and Mac Classic and OS X and higher Answer: JFDraw can run anywhere that Java runs Question:. Initially the program will be offered by CD, but it will eventually be offered as a download from a Website Answer: That's no problem with this point But a FTP space is better for this in development and confirmation stages Question:.. Some of the basic tools are the shapes (square, circle, triangle, freeform, line, trapezoid, etc.), group / ungroup, zooming, grid lines, rulers, alignment, order, snap, rotate and flip, text, edit points, lock / unlock objects, undo / redo, crop, perspective tool, skew tool , eyedropper tool, etc. Answer:. Almost all the features you mentioned are or will be supported If you are familar now with JFDraw Question:. It will also utilize keyboard shortcuts Answer: That's no problem Question:. Please let me know if you Have the resources to completion such a project by the begnning of au gust and a general estimate of what you anticipate the production cost of the project to be Answer:.. There are some features we have not completed under your demands (Especially in 1000 predefined vector image libraries, drawing features with freeform, skew tool, Eyedropper Tool, ETC) And Also, We Don '
