SOME RANDOM COMMENTS:
|
||
|
=====================
|
||
|
|
||
|
* We assume that all documents can be broken down into a linear
|
||
|
collection of pages.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* If a document type doesn't break down in such a way (like web pages)
|
||
|
then it's probably not a good fit for this application.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Each page has a natural page size in pixels. This is generally
|
||
|
ignored in favor of a scale-to-fit mode, but is occasionally
|
||
|
important for backends like the image backend.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Each page is not necessarily the same size.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* We refer to pages by page number. This number ranges from 1 to
|
||
|
document->n_pages. A page index of -1 means the current set page,
|
||
|
and a page index of 0 is not used.

Thoughts on threading:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The primary thing we are trying to do is minimize switching pages, as
|
||
|
doing so is slow for backends. Additionally, some operations on the
|
||
|
backend are slow, leaving poor interactivity. This
