Various improvements:
- Switched to ReadOnlyDictionary in Visualization to make it clear
that the parameter dictionary should not be modified.
- Added a warning to the Visualization Set editor that appears when
there are no plugins that implement a visualizer.
- Make sure an item is selected in the set editor after edit/remove.
- Replaced the checkerboard background with one that's a little bit
more grey, so it's more distinct from white pixel data.
- Added a new Apple II hi-res color converter whose output more
closely matches KEGS and AppleWin RGB.
- Added VisHiRes.cs to some Apple II system definitions.
- Added some test bitmaps for Apple II hi-res to the test directory.
(These are not part of an automated test.)
Thumbnails are now visible in the main list and in the visualization
set editor. They're generated on first need, and regenerated when
the set of plugins changes.
Added a checkerboard background for the visualization editor bitmap
preview. (It looks all official now.)
The Visualization and Visualization Set editors are now fully
functional. You can create, edit, and rearrange sets, and they're
now stored in the project file.
Implemented Apple II hi-res bitmap conversion. Supports B&W and
color. Uses essentially the same algorithm as CiderPress.
Experimented with displaying non-text items in ListView. I assumed
it would work, since it's the sort of thing WPF is designed to do,
but it's always wise to approach with caution. Visualization Sets
now show a 64x64 button as a placeholder for the eventual thumbnail.
Some things were being flaky, which turned out to be because I
wasn't Prepare()ing the plugins before using them from Edit
Visualization. To make this a deterministic failure I added an
Unprepare() call that tells the plugin that we're all done.
NOTE: this breaks all existing plugins.
Added some rudimentary bitmap creation code. Got a test pattern
generated by the plugin to display in the app. (Most of the time
required for this was spent figuring out how bitmaps are handled
in WPF.)
Got parameter in/out working in EditVisualization dialog. Did some
rearranging in PluginCommon interfaces and data structures. Still
doesn't do anything useful.
Basic infrastructure for taking a list of parameters from a plugin
and turning it into a collection of UI controls, merging in values
from a Visualization object. Doesn't yet do anything useful.
WPF makes the hard things easy and the easy things hard. This was
a hard thing, so it was easy to do (with some helpful sample code).
Yay WPF?
