Description:
------------
  Epomap, the Extensible POor MAn's Presenter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Epomap is (or better, will be) a free tool for generating 
presentations (similar to OpenOffice Impress or MS PowerPoint). 
It should be easy to use, with a simple and consistent user interface.

Design
======
Epomap is designed bottom-up, similar to Emacs.

- The "low level" part, such as the user interface, is implemented 
  in C.
- The "high level" part, such as handling objects and views, is 
  implemented in Scheme.

Scheme and C interoperate in the following ways:
- The Scheme code can create tool bars and menu items.
- Scheme manages the 'drawing area' and renders it using a thin
  wrapper over GDK/Cairo.
- The C code calls Scheme callbacks for menu items and tool buttons, 
  and passes mouse and keyboard events that occur on the drawing area
  to Scheme code.

The "model objects" are completely managed by Scheme, so the C code 
doesn't even know about them.
Scheme also defines various views to looks at the slides, e.g. the 
"Normal View", "Outline View", "Slide Sorter" and so on.

Source Code
===========
Epomap is in a very early stage, so it is incomplete and doesn't do anything
useful. 
(This code is the work of just two days)
Here is the code:
http://praktifix.spengergasse.at/~falb/epomap/epomap-0.0.1-incomplete.tar.gz

You can build it with
./autogen.sh --datadir=`pwd`/data
make

and then launch it with
src/epomap

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  - GTK+ 2 for the GUI
- libglade2 for the GUI
- Cairo for rendering the slides
- GNU Guile as Scheme implementation
