Dudes,
I've decided to move the squiggle handling code out of fl_BlockLayout
into a new class fl_Squiggles. It'll work out, I think, because it's
fairly cleanly separated functionality.
However, I only got to that decision after pondering two other
alternatives mainly intended to cut down on the size of the source
files (6k lines is a bad joke!):
o Split some functionality out into separate files, but still part of
the class. Use #include statements to pull in.
But this untraditional, I think, so may confuse readers.
o Add fl_Squiggles to the inheritance list of fl_BlockLayout.
This would violate (I think - but I'm not much of a C++ programmer)
the premises of MI - it would serve the exact same purpose of the
#includes, only using language contructs.
So, I'm wondering, is there a sensible and acceptable way of reducing
file sizes that I haven't thought of? Just curious.
Jesper
