HOW TO ADD A NEW FORMAT
=======================
Each .cpp/.h file pair in xylib/ (excluding xylib.*, cache.* and util.*)
corresponds to one supported filetype.
To add new filetype foo:
- go to xylib/ subdirectory
- write foo.cpp and foo.h files (or copy and modify existing files)
- in foo.h write what your implementation is based on,
i.e., what documentation is available to you.
- #include foo.h in xylib.cpp
- add an entry to formats[] array in xylib.cpp (but not after TextDataSet)
- add foo.cpp and foo.h files to xylib/Makefile.am
- add xylib/foo.cpp to CMakeLists.txt
Do not worry too much about metadata, especially if the file is human-readable.
Currently programs that use xylib mostly ignore metadata.
You may contact us before you start, to avoid duplication of work.
METADATA CONVENTIONS
====================
Naming conventions are introduced and documented here when programs using
this library start relying on it.
