Modules
FGRadar is made of independent modules which make single tasks. Here is a list of all the currently implemented modules and a brief description of each one:
- File Manager: manages file input/output and paths. Checks for platform-independent directory locations such as the configuration directory ($HOME/.config/fgradar in Linux, Application Data in Windows) for example.
- Logger: manages logger. It has three verbosity levels: INFO, WARN and ERROR, being the last one the only one that can abort the program. By default, >= WARN is outputted on the screen, but this can be changed in the command line by specifying the verbosity level.
- Map: this module is formed by several little submodules (being projection and map layer the most important ones). This is a DrawingArea which draws every map layer indepently according to the selected projection. The default projection used is Mercator.
