Describe my work briefly

• Integrate a QR Code generating Library.
• Provide a platform to generate QR Code in LibreOffice apps.

What code got merged.

• Integrate the QR generating Library.

  An external Library was shipped with LibreOffice.

• Made QR code Dialog Box callable in LO apps.

  The apps directories also involves some change to make the dialog Box callable in apps.

  Making dialog callable in Impress and Draw

  Fix associated with above topic
  Right Click to get edit QR code option

• Implemented ODF import/export details for our QR code.

  Our QR Code is generated as shape. It is the ODF(Open Document Foundation) code that helps our QR code to retain the property of QR code when saved/loaded.

Final Product

Now, QR Code can be generated for any text in the LibreOffice. It is one of the big step now that QR Code can be made inside LO which was earlier possible only through using external extensions.

The future development of project include using the QR Code feature in areas like mail-merge, and templates.
