📣 borb release 2.0.8

This release features:

• Small bugfix in Page.pop_page function; /Count was not being updated properly

• Convenient method to rotate Page clockwise and counterclockwise 90 degrees

• Refactor of all EventListener implementations

  • All methods that get something after an EventListener processes a Document now follow the naming convention get_xxx_for_page
  • e.g: get_text_for_page, get_images_for_page, get_colors_for_page etc

• Refactor of the Color API

  • All Color instances are now constructed with values 0..1

    • Except HexColor, Pantone and X11Color (which are constructed with str objects)

  • Extra utility methods in HSVColor:

    • complementary : produces the complementary Color of the given Color
    • analogous : produces 2 Color objects that are similar to the given Color
    • split_complementary: produces 2 Color objects that are similar to the complementary of the given Color, thus forming a split complementary color group
    • triadic : produces 2 Color objects that form a triad with a given Color
    • tetradic_rectangle: produces 3 Color objects; a Color that is analogous to the given Color and the complementary pair of this pair
    • tetradic_square: produces 3 Color objects that form a tetradic square with the given Color

  • More tests (for aforementioned functionality)

• Improved testing

  • Tests can now visually compare their output to a ground truth PNG

    • Output PDF of the test is converted to PNG (using GhostScript)
    • If a ground_truth.png file is present, its pixels are compared to the test output.png
    • Almost full automation of the entire test-suite

• (the start of) Forms

  • FormField class represents a common base class for anything you might find on a form (checkbox, textfield, dropdown, etc)

    • Implementation of TextField
    • Implementation of DropDownList
    • Convenience implementation of CountryDropDownList
    • Implementation of CheckBox

  • Further releases will improve the way the layout algorithm handles these LayoutElement implementations

    • margin
    • padding
    • font_color
    • font
    • background_color
    • font_size

  • Once FormField objects can be added:

    • Retrieve fields (and in particular their values) from Page
    • Set value for each field (using Page)
    • "Flatten" (remove field, keep value) FormField
