Factory4

Factory4 section consist of two main modes, view mode and map edit mode. There are three main components of this section:

• Robotino src
  The class will act as container of Robotino items in the map.
  The single definition of the robotino is included as inner class (coordinate, angle, battery voltage, and id).

• Pose src
  The class defines behaviour and functionality of pose of Robotino at the map (coordinate, angle, station belts, and distance of station).
  Container of this class is to hold an array of pose items. src

• Path src
  This class defines path object drawn on the map.
  Container to hold array of paths. src
  Path definition:
  • A path can consist of one or more nodes.
  • Direction can be one-way (indicated with arrow along the line) or two-way.
  • A path could have a pose attached at the start or end node.

General Programming Tips

1. When you want to implement new layout, always check the showcase to see what SmartGWT has to offer. Source code is also included for quick use.
2. Containers' responsibility is to draw and manage drawn object on the canvas.
3. Each feature from the path editor is encapsulated in a method at Path class.
4. Declare items on the layout as private member of the class. This will allow code from different methods to access the item.
5. Change compilation output style to Pretty if debugging is needed. When releasing, Obfuscated will result in faster initial loading.
6. Certain changes (HTML static file edit, image replacement) require web browser cache to be cleared. When you make a change and it does not appear, remember to clear your browser cache.
   Compilation change the HTML filename thus the browser is required to reload (no need to clear cache).
