Kompare General design:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kompare is split up into 4 parts:
|
|
|
|
- A shell around the parts
|
|
|
|
- A library with the modellist and the parser
|
|
|
|
- The navigation tree which uses the library
|
|
|
|
- The view part that also uses the library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The diffmodel is comparable to a document and the view part is comparable
|
|
|
|
to the view and the komparemodellist is comparable to a documentmanager.
|
|
|
|
The navtree can be viewed as a document view manager.
|
|
|
|
The model is fully separated from the view and all communication goes
|
|
|
|
through signals and slots. The view gets a model that contains all differences
|
|
|
|
for the compared files A and B. The view gets this model from the modellist,
|
|
|
|
the central entity in the part.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is an interface to the komparepart that can be used in other programs,
|
|
|
|
simply link to the libkompareinterface.la and call its methods after you have
|
|
|
|
instanciated a komparepart. There is also a "hidden" signal and slot interface
|
|
|
|
that can be connected to from the shell app to get some information, and an
|
|
|
|
interface for communication between the navigation part and the komparepart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no need to use the interface for the communication between the
|
|
|
|
navigation and kompare parts in the shell app.
