File::Drawing release, revise and retrieve contents to/from a drawing program module.

SYNOPSIS

##########
# Subroutine interface
#
use File::Drawing qw(
dod_date dod_drawing_number number2pm pm2number obsolete
broken backup);

$date = dod_date($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $month, $year);
$drawing_number = dod_drawing_number( );

$pm = number2pm($drawing_number, $repository);
$drawing_number = pm2number($drawing_number, $repository);

$old_value = config( $option );
$old_value = config( $option => $new_value);
(@all_options) = config( );

obsolete($drawing_number, $repository);
broken($drawing_number, $repository);
($file, $backup_file) = backup($drawing_number, $repository, $dir);

######
# Class Interface
#
use File::Drawing;

$default_options = defaults(@options);

$old_value = $default_options->config( $option );
$old_value = $default_options->config( $option => $new_value);
(@all_options) = $default_options->config( );

$drawing = new File::Drawing($contents, $white_tape, $pod, $file_contents, $drawing_number, $repository);

$drawing = File::Drawing->retrieve($drawing_number, @options);

$error = $drawing->release(@options);

$error = $drawing->revise(@options);

$date = $drawing->dod_date($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $month, $year);
$drawing_number = $$drawing->dod_drawing_number( );

$pm = $drawing->number2pm($drawing_number, $repository);
$drawing_number = $drawing->pm2number($drawing_number, $repository);

$drawing->obsolete($drawing_number, $repository);
$drawing->broken($drawing_number, $repository);
($file, $backup_file) = $drawing->backup($drawing_number, $repository, $dir);

Generally, if a subroutine will process a list of options, @options, that subroutine will also process an array reference, @options, [@options], or hash reference, %options, {@options}. If a subroutine will process an array reference, @options, [@options], that subroutine will also process a hash reference, %options, {@options}. See the description for a subroutine for details and exceptions.

The File::Drawing program module uses American National Standards for drawings as a model for storing data. Commercial, governement and casual orgainizations have stored information over the centuries as drawings. Drawings probably evolved from the census that the Romans rulers, started back when Rome was a little frontier town. In other words, the practices of the drafting displines have evolved over time and have stood the test of time.

Any deviation must be a crystal clear advantage. Many of the practices are in place to avoid common and costly human mistakes that obviously a computerize drafting system will not make. A good approach is to make the computerized data structure optimum for computers and have the computer render the computerized data into a form that meets the drafting standards.

The File::Drawing program module, uses the Perl program module name as a drawing repository, drawing number combination. The contents of the drawing is contained in the program module file. The < File::Drawing > program module established methods to retrieve contents from a program module drawing file, create an Perl drawing object with the contents, and methods to release and revise the contents in a program module drawing file from a Perl drawing object. Other popular methods for computerize date are the SQL and XML. Perl has a wide range of program modules using these approach.

In this time in history, the Drawings are highly standardize and even subject to Internationl standarization agreements. The Drawing Sheet Size and Format conform to ANSI Y14.1-1975 or its successor. The drawing has a box with zone numbers running right to left alon the top and bottom, and zone letters running bottom to top along the sides. There is a section inside the box, lower right corner with the blocks for such things as the title, drawing number, current revision, authoriztion, and sheet number. There is an expandable four column table in the top right corner to record the revision history.

CAD::Drawing is a Perl module with methods to create, load, and save vector graphics.

SYNOPSIS

The primary intention of this module is to provide high-level operations for creating, loading, saving and manipulating vector graphics without having to be overly concerned about smile floormats. As the code has seen more use, it has also drifted into a general purpose geometry API.

The syntax of this works something like the following:

A simple example of a (slightly misbehaved) file converter:

use CAD::Drawing;
$drw = CAD::Drawing->new;
$drw->load("file.dwg");
my %opts = (
layer => "smudge",
height => 5,
);
$drw->addtext([10, 2, 5], "Kilroy was here", %opts);
$drw->save("file.ps");

This is a very basic example, and will barely scratch the surface of this modules capabilities. See the details for each function below and in the documentation for the backend modules.

Your tank army and another have engaged in battle. Protect your army (the bottom one that shoots blue bullets) and take out the other guys!

Use your drawing abilities to create barriers that stop the enemy fire while allowing your team to effectively assault the opposition.

Drawing for Childen is a free drawing application for children with many nice options.

The best way to learn to use it is simply to use it. There is though a document describing the use of the program.

Drawing Board ActiveX Control acts as a drawing board for creating online drawing programs rapidly.

The OCX is flexible and lightweight giving developers new possibilities for drawing flowcharts, workflow, organizational charts, network diagrams and other business charts in a form or web page. You can custom the toolbars and template library according your requirement.

An advanced drawing board ActiveX Control which builds flowchart, workflow, network diagram applications with minimum time loss. It can be easily integrated into applications written in languages that support ActiveX control such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder and .Net languages.

Intended to simplify the drawing of various elements in 32 Bit Visual Basic and VBScript based programs while it utilizes the built in offscreen device context drawing features of the Windows 95/NT operating systems for the fastest drawing effects. You can use CSDrwCtl to draw your own ActiveX Controls in VB5 with the techniques used by professional Windows programmers.

CAD::Drawing::Manipulate::Transform is a Perl module with Matrix methods for CAD::Drawing.

Provides 3D transformation methods (based on traditional matrix algorithms) for Drawing.pm objects.

Coordinate System

All of these methods assume a RIGHT-HANDED coordinate system. If you are using a left-handed coordinate system, you are going to have trouble, trouble, trouble. We arent making video games here!
