  • Ús / Usage


    		• server

      		without workspace
      (can be in a different computer, e.g. a RPi)
      		 with workspace
      (same computer as client)
      usage

      • default workspace: no need specifically start a server; simple usage
      • non-default workspace:
        • test downloaded plans
        • modular layout

      config files
      		 default
      • /opt/rocrail/plan.xml
      • /opt/rocrail/rocrail.ini
      • ~/rocrail/
        • created by rocview.sh:
          • plan.xml (track plan)
        • created by rocview, when closing:
          • rocrail.ini
          • occ.xml (block occupancy)

      start

      • default workspace (~/rocrail)
        • /opt/rocrail/rocview.sh
          • first time, it will create:
            • cp /opt/rocrail/default/plan.xml ~/rocrail
            • ln -s /opt/rocrail/svg ~/rocrail/svg

            • cp -pur /opt/rocrail/stylesheets ~/rocrail
          • it will launch
            • cd ~/rocrail
            • /opt/rocrail/rocview -sp /opt/rocrail $*
          • File / Open Workspace...
            • ~/rocrail
          • if next times you launch rocview.sh you do not want to "Open workspace...", you can select autoload:
            • File / Rocview Properties / General
              • Default Workspace: ~/rocrail
              • Use Workspace at startup: checked
      • non-default workspace (~/my_workspace)
        • first time
          • check that rocview does not load a workspace at start:
            • /opt/rocrail/rocview.sh
              • File / Rocview Properties / General
                • Use Workspace at startup: unchecked
          • Create a new workspace
            • cd
            • mkdir my_workspace
            • cd my_workspace
            • optionally, if you want a non-empty plan:
              • cp /opt/rocrail/default/plan.xml .
          • relaunch rocview and load the workspace
            • /opt/rocrail/rocview.sh
              • File / Open Workspace...
                • ~/my_workspace
              • if they do not exist, rocview will create, when closing:

      • alternative ini file:
    • Mode de funcionament amb workspace (crea, si cal, els directoris amb la configuració, engega el servidor local i el client):
      • $ /opt/rocrail/rocview.sh
