Introduction

The Vob Coordinate System Generator generates coordinate systems automatically for Vobs. Currently I'm planning a special case, but in the future there may be many different generators. Generators make Vob placing easier.

The planned usage is for a view's render().

Usage

1. Make an instance of the generator like this:

   /** Constructor:
    *  @params:
    *     int CS = Coordinate system where you place all vobs
    *     int vob_count = The amount of vobs in given CS.
    *     int style = Horizontal, vertical, etc..
    */
   public MiscVobCSGenerator(int CS, int vob_count, int style);
   

2. Use the generator:

   MiscVocCSGenerator vob_cs_gen = ...;
   Cell c = ...;
   
   while (c != null) {
       int vob_cs = vob_cs_generator.getNext();
       vs.activate(vob_cs);  
       vs.map.put(new SomeVob(c), vob_cs);
       c = c.s(d.d1);
   }
   

• the generator makes matching and gives good CS.
• a suitable CS can be asked with the getNext() method.

Issues

• autoactivation for Vob matching could be needed.
• the Vob's matching name must be given somehow.
• where to put this in the gzz/ directory hierarchy?

Examples

public static final int HORIZONTAL = 1;
public static final int VERTICAL   = 2;

Need for more?:

public static final int .... = n+1;

Vertical example:

vob_count = 2       vob_count = 3        vob_count = 6
