CAVOR Documentation
This will get filled out as documentation becomes available. What exists now is more in the way of design documents rather than user guides. (And most of that is on paper, not computer.) But for the moment:
| CAVOR: A Quick Introduction | A brief overview of both the project and the system architecture. |
| Overview of Components | A slightly different introduction and a more detailed look at the components and their current status. |
| CAVOR Display List Manager (CDL) | A high level introduction to the Display List Manager component. This piece is responsible for actually displaying the diagrams/maps/schematics/what-have-you for the given application, and providing services like zooming, panning, multiple layers, object selection, and so on. |
| Hacker's Guide to the Cavor Display List | A more detailed look at the CDL than the above, including an overview of the list classes and an annotated coding example. Also available as a PDF file. |
| Overview of the Cavor DB Schema | A quick explanation of the various tables. (For specific details see the cv_schema.sql file in the CVS repository.) |
| Quick References for Sizzle (Cavor Scripting Language) | An outline of the scripting language -- this document is in progress, far from complete. |
| Quick Guide to Cavor Symbology Language | A guide (with some examples) to the language used to create complex or attribute-based graphic representations (symbolizations) of Cavor entities. |
More to come. Stay tuned.
