[agtk-devel] testing aglib

[Claude B. <Cla...@li...>]

Hi Steven,

I have just started installing and testing AG libs,
installation went without pb on my Linux box (RedHat6.1)
but it has grown a lot and I am not sure to jump into
the code, so I will start with only 2 little remarks...

I could also test the Tcl wrapper (for some reason I needed to
do a 'make install' in both ag_wrapper and agf subdirectories
for installing agf and ag_tcl shared libs) - I will probably
mainly focus on using this interface in the future.

Best,

 -  Claude



The demo/agdemo results in little garbage (some kind
of buffer overflow somewhere) at the end of the 2nd toXML
output - it may depend of my configuration :

-------------------------

change the offset of anchor1 to 5.00:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE AGSet SYSTEM "ag.dtd">
(...
  some stuff cut here
...)
<Annotation id="TIMIT:AG1:Annotation2" type="timit" start="TIMIT:AG1:Anchor2" end="TIMIT:AG1:Anchor3">
<Feature name="sentence">We'll see you around 8 o'clock.</Feature>
</Annotation>
</AG>
</AGSet>
>
</AG>
</AGSet>
-------------------------


About Timit example: you have

<Timeline id="Timit:Timeline1">
<Signal id="Timit:Timeline1:Signal1" (...) xlink:href="LDC93S1:sa1.wav"></Signal>
</Timeline>

<AG id="Timit:AG1" timeline="Timit:Timeline1">
<Anchor id="Timit:AG1:Anchor1" offset="0" unit="16kHz" signals="Timit:Timeline1:Signal1"></Anchor>
...
</AG>

In the (widespread) case where you have a single signal in the
Timeline, each Anchor could inherit of the Signal from its Timeline
when remaining to a default empty value (thus avoiding some
redundancy and systematic consistency checking)?
We probably discussed about this already but I forgot the rationale...
