SymbolEditor File Format
Under Construction
The SymbolEditor application was originally written to provide symbol libraries for the KXStitch application. If anyone else finds these symbol libraries useful, these are the file format used.
Versions of the format
There are currently two versions of the file format. Version 100 is deprecated and it is unlikely that any symbol libraries will exist in the wild. Version 101 is the current format.
Version 100
Format uses QDataStream::Qt_4_0
file {
char[15] containing 'KXStitchSymbols'
qint32 file_version
qint16 next_symbol_id
QMap<qint16 index, QPainterPath path> pathsMap
}
Version 101
Format uses QDataStream::Qt_4_0
file { char[15] containing 'KXStitchSymbols'
qint32 file_version
qint16 next_symbol_id
QMap<qint16 index, symbol> symbolMap
}
Symbol Definition
The symbol definition only has one version at the moment, version 100, which is defined as
Symbol {
QPainterPath path
bool filled
qreal lineWidth
qint32 capStyle converted to Qt::PenCapStyle
qint32 joinStyle converted to Qt::PenCapStyle
}
