[Alsamodular-devel] uml anyone?

[Lukas D. <AFB...@gm...>]

Hi list,

Some interesting fact: AMS 2.0.0 est omnes devisa in partes tres. :-)

I -  AMS Framework
 + provides basic access to envirement resources:
alsa midi, jackd audio, config and session data stored in xml files, etc.

 + is responsible for bootstrapping, loading/saving of patches.

II - Patch
 + represents everything that makes up a session, i.e. everything that 
will be saved as session (patch) data

 + provides session state (after bootsrapping phase is finished)

 + data model for gui

III - (G)ui
 + provides view(s) of the data/state represented/provided by the patch.
 
 + well, we all know what a gui is, don't we :-)

Note: there might be cases in which the gui needs acces to Layer I. Not 
sure about this.

For Layer II i have created an UML diagramm. There are many comments on 
it, so it should be possible  for anyone interested to catch the basic 
ideas. here are the links:

Dia file:
http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/ams-uml_patch.dia  

XFig file:
http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/ams-uml_patch.fig

The layout could need some work, and you better not look to closely at 
the operations/attributes (incomplete or outdated in many cases).

I would be happy to discuss any issue or answer any question on-list. 
This isn't supposed to be a one-man-show after all. ;-)

I will announce any update to this files on list, if no one objects. 
Similar diagrams for layer I and III will follow. Everyone is invited to 
make suggestions or commit his/her own idea of what things should look like.

Have a nice week everyone.

Lukas
