package AMC::DataModule::layout;

# AMC layout data management.

# This module is used to store (in a SQLite database) and handle all
# pages layouts: locations of all boxes, name field, marks on the
# pages.

# All coordinates are given in pixels, with (0,0)=TopLeft.

# TABLES:
#
# layout_page lists pages from the subject, with the following data:
#
# * student is the student number
#
# * page is the page number from the student copy (beginning from 1
#   for each student)
#
# * checksum is a number that is used to check that the student and
#   page numbers are properly recognized frm the scan
#
# * sourceid is an ID to get from table source the source information
#
# * subjectpage is the page number from the subject.pdf file
#   containing all subjects
#
# * dpi is the DPI resolution of the page
#
# * height,width are the page dimensions in pixels
#
# * markdiameter is the diameter of the four marks in the corners, in pixels
#
# layout_mark lists the marks positions on all the pages:
#
# * student,page identifies the page
#
# * corner is the corner number, from 1..4
#   (TopLeft=1, TopRight=2, BottomRight=3, BottomLeft=4)
#
# * x,y are the mark center coordinates (in pixels, (0,0)=TopLeft)
#
# layout_namefield lists the name fields on the pages:
#
# * student,page identifies the page
#
# * xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax give the box around the name field
#
# layout_box lists all the boxes to be ticked (and other
# question/answer-related zones in the subject) on all the pages:
#
# * student,page identifies the page
#
# * role determines the role of this box (see BOX_ROLE_* constants below)
#
# * question is the question number. This is NOT the question number
#   that is printed on the question paper, but an internal question
#   number associated with question identifier from the LaTeX file
#   (strings used as the first argument of the \begin{question} or
#   \begin{questionmult} environment) as in table layout_question (see
#   next)
#
# * answer is the answer number for this question
#
# * xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax give the box coordinates
#
# * flags is an integer that contains the flags from BOX_FLAGS_* (see
#   below)
#
# * char is the character associated with the box (written inside or
#   beside the box)
#
# layout_digit lists all the binary boxes to read student/page number
# and checksum from the scans (boxes white for digit 0, black for
# digit 1):
#
# * student,page identifies the page
#
# * numberid is the ID of the number to be read (1=student number,
#   2=page number, 3=checksum)
#
# * digitid is the digit ID (1 is the most significant bit)
#
# * xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax give the box coordinates
#
# layout_source describes where are all these information computed
# from:
#
# * sourceid refers to the same field in the layout_page table
#
# * src describes the file from which layout is read
#
# * timestamp is the time when the src file were read to populate the
#   layout_* tables
#
# layout_question describes the questions:
#
# * question is the question ID (see explanation in layout_box)
#
# * name is the question identifier from the LaTeX file
#
# layout_association contains the pre-association data
#
# * student is the student sheet number
#
# * id is the association value (student id from the students list)
#   for the corresponding student sheet
#
# * filename is the filename suggested when printing the students
#   sheets to files.
#
# layout_char contains the chars written inside the answer boxes in catalog mode
#
# * question is the question ID (see explanation in layout_box)
#
# * answer is the answer number
#
# * char is the character written inside the box
