Design Goals:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Make the data file small, so it can be included in KOffice.
|
||
|
|
Make it simple, i.e. don't reinvent functions which are already
|
||
|
|
in WordNet.
|
||
|
|
-Provide access to (almost) all WordNet functions for people
|
||
|
|
who have WordNet installed locally
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Implementation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Technically, this is a KDataTool, which means that it will typically
|
||
|
|
add an action to a context menu, in this case: "Show related words".
|
||
|
|
You can see this in KWord when you click the right mouse button over
|
||
|
|
a word or over selected text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Thesaurus KDataTool just calls the WordNet binary "wn", which has
|
||
|
|
to be in your path. The advantage is that there are no dependencies
|
||
|
|
at compile time, as there would be if we used the WordNet library.

|
|
use it while you are online
