ICP 2017/2018 Project - BLOCKEDITOR

Authors: Tomáš Pazdiora, Michal Pospíšil

FEAUTURES OF THIS IMPLEMENTATION:

Design patterns usage

• Abstract Factories to generate specific blocks.
• Decorator pattern to bond GUI and core functionality and more.
• Observer to update block values (using callbacks for specific computations) and more.

Intuitive user interface

• We created an easy-to-use user interface with toolbars. We also support keyboard shortcuts and before closing the file, app will ask the user about saving changes if the file was modified.

Merge functionality

• Merging is a feature that opens a file and merges it into the currently opened file.

File format

• We used own '.gph' file format to avoid confusion with other file formats.
• Saved is only the graph structure without input values.

Help dialog

• We created a help dialog to let the user know how to use the app.

BUILDING

Qt framework is required for build (tested with Qt 5.6.2).

Easiest way to build is to install Qt Creator and open ICP_Project.pro file.

Makefile:

• make builds the application (Qt required)
• make run will start the application
• make doxygen will generate documentation in 'doc/' folder (doxygen required)
• make clean will remove build files

EXAMPLES

sin(x) approximation.gph

• Approxiamtion of sin(x) where x is in <0, pi>. First upper value is x and second bottom value is a constant 0.05.
