[Sugar-devel] Home view activities layout

[Walter Bender]

I am heading off to vacation for a week, but I may get a chance to
play with moving/snapping the icons as well. In the meantime, the code
is quite simple:

--- favoriteslayout.py	2010-07-20 13:31:05.000000000 -0400
+++ favoriteslayout.py	2010-07-30 23:26:56.000000000 -0400

+        as the radius increases to keep the distance between icons constant."""
+
+        print "index %d (r: %f, o: %f)" % (index, self.my_radius,
self.my_orientation)
