- * AREA :
+ * DATA ORGANISATION :
  * Areas in tint2 are similar to widgets in a GUI. 
- * Graphical objects (panel, taskbar, task, systray, clock, ...) in tint2 'inherit' an Area class.
- * Area is an abstract class of objects. It's at the begining of each object (&object == &area).
- * Area manage the background and border drawing, size and padding.
+ * All graphical objects (panel, taskbar, task, systray, clock, ...) 'inherit' an abstract class 'Area'.
+ * This class 'Area' manage the background, border, size, position and padding.
+ * Area is at the begining of each object (&object == &area).
  * 
- * DATA ORGANISATION :
- * tint2 define one panel per monitor. And each panel have a tree of Area (nodes).
+ * tint2 define one panel per monitor. And each panel have a tree of Area.
  * The root of the tree is Panel.Area. And task, clock, systray, taskbar,... are nodes.
  * 
+ * The tree give the localisation of each object :
+ * - tree's root is in the background while tree's leafe are foreground objects
+ * - position of a node/Area depend on the layout : parent's position (posx, posy), size of previous brothers and parent's padding
+ * - size of a node/Area depend on the content (SIZE_BY_CONTENT objects) or on the layout (SIZE_BY_LAYOUT objects) 
+ * 
+ * DRAWING AND LAYERING ENGINE :
+ * Redrawing an object (like the clock) could come from an 'external event' (date change) 
+ * or from a 'layering event' (position change).
+ * The following 'drawing engine' take care of all 'layering event'.
+ * 1) browse tree SIZE_BY_CONTENT
+ *  - resize SIZE_BY_CONTENT node : children are resized before parent
+ * 	- if 'size' changed then 'resize = 1' on the parent
+ * 2) browse tree SIZE_BY_LAYOUT and POSITION
+ *  - resize SIZE_BY_LAYOUT node : parent is resized before children
+ * 	- if 'size' changed then 'resize = 1' on childs with SIZE_BY_LAYOUT
+ *  - calculate position (posx,posy) : parent is calculated before children
+ * 	- if 'position' changed then 'redraw = 1'
+ * 3) browse tree REDRAW
+ *  - redraw needed objects : parent is drawn before children
+ *
+ * CONFIGURE PANEL'S LAYOUT :
  * 'panel_items' parameter (in config) define the list and the order of nodes in tree's panel.
  * 'panel_items = SC' define a panel with just Systray and Clock.
- * So the root Panel.Area will have 2 childs (Systray and Clock).
+ * So the tree 'Panel.Area' will have 2 childs (Systray and Clock).
  *
- * The tree allow to browse panel's objects from background to foreground and from left to right.
- * The position of each node/Area depend on parent's position and brothers on the left.
- * 
- * DRAWING EVENT :
- * In the end, redrawing an object (like the clock) could come from an external event (date change) 
- * or from a layering event (size or position change).
- * 
- * DRAWING LOOP :
- * 1) browse tree and resize SIZE_BY_CONTENT node
- * 	- children node are resized before its parent
- * 	- if 'size' changed then 'redraw = 1' and 'resize = 1' on the parent
- * 2) browse tree and resize SIZE_BY_LAYOUT node
- * 	- parent node is resized before its children
- * 	- if 'size' changed then 'redraw = 1' and 'resize = 1' on childs with SIZE_BY_LAYOUT
- * 3) calculate posx of objects
- * 	- parent's position is calculated before children's position
- * 	- if 'position' changed then 'redraw = 1'
- * 4) redraw needed objects
- * 	- parent node is drawn before its children
- * 
- * perhaps 2) and 3) can be merged...
+ * 1) ok
+ * 2) ??
+ * 3) ??
  * répartition entre niveau global et niveau local ??
  *   size_by_content peut-il modifier redraw=1 en cas de changement ? ou est ce géré par chaque composant ?
  *   size_by_layout peut-il modifier redraw ?
