[Pythoncad-developer] Module structure

[<ger...@gm...>]

Hi All,

For me the current package structure is not all satisfying.
The package "Generic" contain to much code with different purposes.
I would like to see modules that have some of a relationship with each  
other in one package.

My proposal to replace the package "Generic" by several other packages:

* Entities.
* Exchange.
* Tools.
* Core.

Tools have already been separated from the rest of Generic but is still to  
large I think.

Entities:
This package contain all entity definitions.
For instance the modules point, segment, circle, polyline, arc, etc.

Exchange:
This package contain all the import and export to other formats (maybe  
split exchange into import and export).

Tools:
This package contain the entity creation and modification tools (maybe  
split tools into create and modify).

Core:
This package contain the interface to the database.
Quad tree tables, snap functionality etc.


Regards,
Gertwin

Yes Gertwin;

OpwnGL & PyQT are kept only for future use (just
to indicate the level at which any other GUI renderer
might be sitting)

GENERIC
 - Entities
 - Exchange
 - Tools
 - Core

I think we can also look at interface.

INTERFACE
  - GUI_Common
       - command
       - preference
       - menu
       - viewport
  - Cairo
      -"renderer specific modules"
  - GTK
      -"renderer specific modules"
  -Cocoa
     - "renderer specific modules" (any existing codes)
  - OpenGL
      - "renderer specific modules" (Future)
  - PyQT
      - "renderer specific modules" (Future)

Yes you are right about the Generic structure.

And you are right about the Interface structure it also need some improvement.
Is it right to say that the GUI_Common package contains no pygtk
related/dependent code?

Maybe put the Cairo on the same level as OpenGL?


INTERFACE
- GUI_Common
- command
- preference
- menu
- GTK
-"renderer specific modules"
- OpenGL
- "viewport render specific modules"
- Cairo
- "viewport render specific modules"
- PyQT
- "render specific modules"

The packages OpenGL and PyQt are ment for future use I think?
