3.42 trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render

6414c4
8870e9

The render functionality exists to produce both identity and

8870e9
translation files on different levels of information (i.e., different
8870e9
languages, release numbers, architectures, etc.).
5cee2c

5cee2c

The render functionality relies on "renderable directory

5cee2c
structures" to produce files. Renderable directory structures can be
5cee2c
either "identity directory structures" or "translation directory
8870e9
structures" with special directories inside.
5cee2c

5cee2c
13b177
13b177

3.42.1 Renderable identity directory structures

5cee2c
8870e9

Renderable identity directory structures are the starting point of

8870e9
identity rendition. Whenever we want to render a component of CentOS
8870e9
corporate visual identity, we need to point <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> to a
8870e9
renderable identity directory structure. If such renderable identity
8870e9
directory structure doesn't exist, then it is good time to create it. 
5cee2c

8870e9

Inside the working copy, one renderable identity directory structures

8870e9
represents one visual manifestation of CentOS corporate visual
8870e9
identity, or said differently, each visual manifestation of CentOS
8870e9
corporate visual identity should have one renderable identity
8870e9
directory structure.
5cee2c

5cee2c

Inside renderable identity directory structures, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>

139290
can render both image-based and text-based files. Specification of
139290
whether a renderable identity directory structure produces image-based
139290
or text-based content is a configuration action that takes place in
139290
the pre-rendition configuration script of that renderable identity
13b177
directory structure.
139290

139290

Inside renderable identity directory structures, content production is

139290
organized in different configurations. A content production
139290
configuration is a unique combination of the components that make an
139290
identity directory structure renderable. One content production
139290
configuration does one thing only (e.g., to produce untranslated
139290
images), but it can be extended (e.g., adding translation files) to
139290
achieve different needs (e.g., to produce translated images).
5cee2c

5cee2c

13b177

3.42.1.1 Design template without translation

5cee2c
5cee2c

The design template without translation configuration is based on a

5cee2c
renderable identity directory structure with an empty translation
5cee2c
directory structure. In this configuration, one design template
5cee2c
produces one untranslated file. Both design templates and final
5cee2c
untranslated files share the same file name, but they differ one
13b177
another in file-type and file-extension.
5cee2c

5cee2c

For example, to produce images without translations (there is no much

5cee2c
use in producing text-based files without translations), consider the
5cee2c
following configuration:
2563c2

5cee2c
5cee2c
One renderable identity directory structure:
5cee2c
13b177

In this example we used <tt>`Identity/Path/To/Dir'</tt> as the identity

13b177
component we want to produce untranslated images for.  Identity
13b177
components can be either under <tt>`trunk/'</tt> or <tt>`branches/'</tt>
13b177
directory structure.
13b177

13b177

The identity component (i.e., <tt>`Identity/Path/To/Dir'</tt>, in this

13b177
case) is also the bond component we use to connect the identity
13b177
directory structures with their respective auxiliar directories (i.e.,
13b177
translation directory structres and pre-rendition configuration
13b177
structures).  The bond component is the path convenction that
13b177
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> uses to know where to look for related
13b177
translations, configuration scripts and whatever auxiliar thing a
13b177
renderable directory structure may need to have.
13b177

13b177
      | The bond component
13b177

13b177
                                design template file.
2563c2
13b177

Inside design template directory, design template files are based on

13b177
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and use the extension
13b177
.svg.  Design template files can be organized using several
13b177
directory levels to create a simple but extensible configuration,
13b177
specially if translated images are not required.
13b177

5cee2c

In order for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files to be

5cee2c
considered "design template" files, they should be placed under the
5cee2c
design template directory and to have set a CENTOSARTWORK
5cee2c
object id inside.
5cee2c

5cee2c

The CENTOSARTWORK word itself is a convenction name we use to

5cee2c
define which object/design area, inside a design template, the
13b177
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script will use to export as
13b177
PNG (Portable Network Graphic) image at rendition time.
13b177
Whithout such object id specification, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script
13b177
cannot know what object/design area you (as designer) want to export
13b177
as PNG (Portable Network Graphic) image file.
13b177

13b177
info

Note

At rendition time, the content of <tt>`Img/'</tt> directory

13b177
structure is produced by <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> automatically.
13b177

13b177
13b177

When a renderable identity directory structure is configured to

13b177
produce image-based content, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> produces
13b177
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files with the .png
13b177
extension. Once the base image format has been produced, it is
13b177
possible for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> to use it in order to automatically
13b177
create other image formats that may be needed (see section trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/Config).
5cee2c

5cee2c

Inside the working copy, you can find an example of "design template

5cee2c
without translation" configuration at <tt>`trunk/Identity/Models/'</tt>.
5cee2c

5cee2c

See section trunk/Identity, for more information.

2563c2

5cee2c
5cee2c
One translation directory structure:
5cee2c
5cee2c

In order for an identity entry to be considered an identity renderable

5cee2c
directory structure, it should have a translation entry. The content
13b177
of the translation entry is relevant to determine how to process the
13b177
identity renderable directory entry.
5cee2c

5cee2c

If the translation entry is empty (i.e., there is no file inside it),

5cee2c
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> interprets the identity renderable directory
5cee2c
structure as a "design templates without translation" configuration.
5cee2c

13b177
                   | The bond component
13b177
                   |----------------->|
13b177
trunk/Translations/Identity/Path/To/Dir
5cee2c
`-- (empty)
2563c2
5cee2c

If the translation entry is not empty, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> can

13b177
interpret the identity renderable directory structure as one of the
13b177
following configurations: "design template with translation
13b177
(one-to-one)" or "design template with translation (optimized)".
13b177
Which one of these configurations is used depends on the value
13b177
assigned to the matching list (MATCHINGLIST) variable in the
13b177
pre-rendition configuration script of the renderable identity
13b177
directory structure we are producing images for.
5cee2c

5cee2c

If the matching list variable is empty (as it is by default), then

13b177
"design template with translation (one-to-one)" configuration is
5cee2c
used. In this configuration it is required that both design templates
13b177
and translation files have the same file names. This way, one
13b177
translation files is applied to one design template, to produce
13b177
one translated image.
5cee2c

5cee2c

If the matching list variable is not empty (because you redefine it in

13b177
the pre-rendition configuration script), then "design template with
13b177
translation (optimized)" configuration is used instead. In this
5cee2c
configuration, design templates and translation files don't need to
13b177
have the same names since such name relationship between them is
13b177
specified in the matching list properly.
5cee2c

13b177

See section trunk/Translations, for more information.

2563c2

5cee2c
5cee2c
One pre-rendition configuration script:
5cee2c
13b177

In order to make an identity directory structure renderable, a

13b177
pre-rendition configuration script should exist for it.  The
13b177
pre-rendition configuration script specifies what type of rendition
13b177
does <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will perform over the identity directory
13b177
structure and how does it do that.
13b177

13b177

13b177
trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/Config/Identity/Path/To/Dir
5cee2c
`-- render.conf.sh
5cee2c
5cee2c

In this configuration the pre-rendition configuration script

5cee2c
(<tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>) would look like the following:
5cee2c

5cee2c
function render_loadConfig {
5cee2c
5cee2c
    # Define rendition actions.
5cee2c
    ACTIONS[0]='BASE:renderImage'
5cee2c
5cee2c
}
5cee2c
13b177

Since translation directory structure is empty, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>

13b177
assumes a "design template without translation" configuration to
13b177
produce untranslated images.
13b177

5cee2c

To produce untranslated images, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> takes one design

13b177
template and creates one temporal instance from it.  Later,
5cee2c
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> uses the temporal design template instance as
13b177
source file to export the final untranslated image. The action of
13b177
exporting images from SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to
13b177
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is possible thanks to
13b177
Inkscape's command-line interface and the CENTOSARTWORK object
13b177
id we previously set inside design templates.

Finally, when the untranslated image has been created, the temporal

13b177
design template instance is removed. At this point,
13b177
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> takes the next design template and repeats the
13b177
whole production flow once again (design template by design template),
13b177
until all design templates be processed.

3.42.1.2 Design template with translation (one-to-one)

5cee2c
5cee2c

Producing untranslated images is fine in many cases, but not always.

5cee2c
Sometimes it is required to produce images in different languages and
5cee2c
that is something that untrasnlated image production cannot achieve.
5cee2c
However, if we fill its empty translation entry with translation files
5cee2c
(one for each design template) we extend the production flow from
5cee2c
untranslated image production to translated image production.
5cee2c

5cee2c

In order for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> to produce images correctly, each

5cee2c
design template should have one translation file and each translation
5cee2c
file should have one design template.  Otherwise, if there is a
5cee2c
missing design template or a missing translation file,
5cee2c
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will not produce the final image related to the
5cee2c
missing component.
5cee2c

5cee2c

In order for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> to know which is the relation

5cee2c
between translation files and design templates the translation
5cee2c
directory structure is taken as reference.  For example, the
13b177
<tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Path/To/Dir/file.sed'</tt> translation
13b177
file does match <tt>`trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/Tpl/file.svg'</tt> design
13b177
template, but it doesn't match
13b177
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/File.svg'</tt> or
13b177
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/Tpl/File.svg'</tt> or
13b177
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/Tpl/SubDir/file.svg'</tt> design
13b177
templates.
5cee2c

5cee2c

The pre-rendition configuration script used to produce untranslated

5cee2c
images is the same we use to produce translated images. There is no
5cee2c
need to modify it. So, as we are using the same pre-rendition
5cee2c
configuration script, we can say that translated image production is
5cee2c
somehow an extended/improved version of untranslated image production.
5cee2c

5cee2c
info

Note

If we use no translation file in the translation entry

5cee2c
(i.e., an empty directory), <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> assumes the
5cee2c
untranslated image production. If we fill the translation entry with
5cee2c
translation files, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> assumes the translated image
5cee2c
production.  
5cee2c

5cee2c
5cee2c

To produce final images, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> applies one translation

5cee2c
file to one design template and produce a translated design template
5cee2c
instance. Later, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> uses the translated template
5cee2c
instance to produce the translated image. Finally, when the translated
5cee2c
image has been produced, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> removes the translated
5cee2c
design template instance. This production flow is repeated for each
5cee2c
translation file available in the translatio entry.

3.42.1.3 Design template with translation (optimized)

5cee2c
5cee2c

Producing translated images satisfies almost all our production images

5cee2c
needs, but there is still a pitfall in them. In order to produce
5cee2c
translated images as in the "one-to-one" configuration describes
5cee2c
previously, it is required that one translation file has one design
5cee2c
template. That's useful in many cases, but what would happen if we
5cee2c
need to apply many different translation files to the same design
5cee2c
template?  Should we have to duplicate the same design template file
5cee2c
for each translation file, in order to satisfy the "one-to-one"
5cee2c
relation? What if we need to assign translation files to design
5cee2c
templates arbitrarily?
5cee2c

5cee2c

Certenly, that's something the "one-to-one" configuration cannot

5cee2c
handle.  So, that's why we had to "optimize" it. The optimized
5cee2c
configuration consists on using a matching list (MATCHINGLIST)
5cee2c
variable that specifies the relationship between translation files and
5cee2c
design templates in an arbitrary way. Using such matching list between
5cee2c
translation files and design templates let us use as many assignment
5cee2c
combinations as translation files and design templates we are working
5cee2c
with.
5cee2c

5cee2c

The MATCHINGLIST variable is set in the pre-rendition

5cee2c
configuration script of the component we want to produce images for.
5cee2c
By default, the MATCHINGLIST variable is empty which means no
5cee2c
matching list is used. Otherwise, if MATCHINGLIST variable has a
5cee2c
value different to empty value then, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> interprets
5cee2c
the matching list in order to know how translation files are applied
5cee2c
to design templates.
5cee2c

5cee2c

For example, consider the following configuration:

2563c2

2563c2
5cee2c
One entry under <tt>`trunk/Identity/'</tt>:
2563c2
5cee2c

In this configuration we want to produce three images using a

5cee2c
paragraph-based style, controlled by <tt>`paragraph.svg'</tt> design
5cee2c
template; and one image using a list-based style, controlled by
5cee2c
<tt>`list.svg'</tt> design template.
2563c2

13b177

5cee2c

5cee2c
2563c2
5cee2c
One entry under <tt>`trunk/Translations/'</tt>:
2563c2
5cee2c

In order to produce translated images we need to have one translation

5cee2c
file for each translated image we want to produce. Notice how
5cee2c
translation names do match final image file names, but how translation
5cee2c
names do not match design template names. When we use matching list
5cee2c
there is no need for translation files to match the names of design
5cee2c
templates, such name relation is set inside the matching list itself.

In order to produce different translated images using specific design

5cee2c
templates, we need to specify the relation between translation files
5cee2c
and design templates in a way that <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> could know
5cee2c
exactly what translation file to apply to what design template. This
5cee2c
relation between translation files and design templates is set using
5cee2c
the matching list MATCHINGLIST variable inside the pre-rendition
5cee2c
configuration script of the component we want to produce images for.

3.42.1.4 Design template with translation (optimized+flexibility)

5cee2c
5cee2c

In the production models we've seen so far, there are design templates

5cee2c
to produce untranslated images and translation files which combiend
5cee2c
with design templates produce translated images. That may seems like
5cee2c
all our needs are covered, doesn't it? Well, it almost does.
5cee2c

5cee2c

Generally, we use design templates to define how final images will

5cee2c
look like. Generally, each renderable directory structure has one
5cee2c
<tt>`Tpl/'</tt> directory where we organize design templates for that
5cee2c
identity component. So, we can say that there is only one unique
5cee2c
design template definition for each identity component; or what is the
5cee2c
same, said differently, identity components can be produced in one way
5cee2c
only, the way its own design template directory specifies.  This is
5cee2c
not enough for theme production. It is a limitation, indeed.
5cee2c

5cee2c

Initially, to create one theme, we created one renderable directory

5cee2c
structure for each theme component. When we found ourselves with many
5cee2c
themes, and components inside them, it was obvious that the same
5cee2c
design model was duplicated inside each theme. As design models were
5cee2c
independently one another, if we changed one theme's design model,
5cee2c
that change was useless to other themes. So, in order to reuse design
5cee2c
model changes, we unified design models into one common directory
5cee2c
structure.
5cee2c

5cee2c

With design models unified in a common structure, another problem rose

5cee2c
up. As design models also had the visual style of theme components,
5cee2c
there was no difference between themes, so there was no apparent need
5cee2c
to have an independent theme directory structure for each different
5cee2c
theme.  So, it was also needed to separate visual styles from design
5cee2c
models.
5cee2c

5cee2c

At this point there are two independent worklines: one directory

5cee2c
structure to store design models (the final image characteristics
5cee2c
[i.e., dimensions, translation markers, etc.]) and one directory
5cee2c
structure to store visual styles (the final image visual style [i.e.,
5cee2c
the image look and feel]).  So, it is possible to handle both
5cee2c
different design models and different visual styles independtly one
5cee2c
another and later create combinations among them using
5cee2c
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>. 
5cee2c

5cee2c

For example, consider the following configuration:

5cee2c

5cee2c
5cee2c
One entry under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/'</tt>:
2563c2
5cee2c

The design model entry exists to organize design model files (similar

5cee2c
to design templates). Both design models and design templates are very
5cee2c
similar; they both should have the CENTOSARTWORK export id
5cee2c
present to identify the exportation area, translation marks, etc.
5cee2c
However, design models do use dynamic backgrounds inclusion while
5cee2c
design templates don't.

5cee2c

Inisde design models, dynamic backgrounds are required in order for

5cee2c
different artistic motifs to reuse common design models. Firstly, in
5cee2c
order to create dynamic backgrounds inside design models, we import a
5cee2c
bitmap to cover design model's background and later, update design
5cee2c
model's path information to replace fixed values to dynamic values.

2563c2
5cee2c
One entry under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt>:
2563c2
5cee2c

The artistic motif entry defines the visual style we want to produce

5cee2c
images for, only. Final images (i.e., those built from combining both
5cee2c
design models and artistic motif backrounds) are not stored here, but
5cee2c
under branches directory structure. In the artistic motif entry, we
5cee2c
only define those images that cannot be produced automatically by
5cee2c
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> (e.g., Backgrounds, Color information,
5cee2c
Screenshots, etc.).

3.42.2 Renderable translation directory structures

5cee2c
5cee2c

Translation directory structures are auxiliar structures of renderable

5cee2c
identity directory structures. There is one translation directory
5cee2c
structure for each renderable identity directory structure.  Inside
5cee2c
translation directory structures we organize translation files used by
5cee2c
renderable identity directory structures that produce translated
5cee2c
images. Renderable identity directory structures that produce
5cee2c
untranslated images don't use translation files, but they do use a
5cee2c
translation directory structure, an empty translation directory
5cee2c
structure, to be precise.
5cee2c

5cee2c

In order to aliviate production of translation file, we made

5cee2c
translation directory structures renderable adding a template
5cee2c
(<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>) directory structure to handle common content inside
5cee2c
translation files.  This way, we work on translation templates and
5cee2c
later use <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> to produce specific translation files
5cee2c
(based on translation templates) for different information (e.g.,
5cee2c
languages, release numbers, architectures, etc.).  
5cee2c

5cee2c

If for some reason, translation files get far from translation

5cee2c
templates and translation templates become incovenient to produce such
5cee2c
translation files then, care should be taken to avoid replacing the
5cee2c
content of translation files with the content of translation templates
5cee2c
when <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> is executed to produce translation files
5cee2c
from translation templates.
5cee2c

5cee2c

Inside renderable translation directory structures,

5cee2c
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> can produce text-based files only.

3.42.3 Copying renderable directory structures

2563c2
2563c2

A renderable layout is formed by design models, design images,

2563c2
pre-rendition configuration scripts and translations files. This way,
2563c2
when we say to duplicate rendition stuff we are saying to duplicate
2563c2
these four directory structures (i.e., design models, design images,
2563c2
pre-rendition configuration scripts, and related translations files).
2563c2

2563c2

When we duplicate directories, inside `trunk/Identity' directory

2563c2
structure, we need to be aware of renderable layout described above
8e85aa
and the source location used to perform the duplication action.  The
8e85aa
source location is relevant to centos-art.sh script in order to
2563c2
determine the required auxiliar information inside directory
2563c2
structures that need to be copied too (otherwise we may end up with
2563c2
orphan directory structures unable to be rendered, due the absence of
2563c2
required information).
2563c2

2563c2

In order for a renderable directory structure to be valid, the new

2563c2
directory structure copied should match the following conditions:
2563c2

2563c2
    2563c2
  1. To have a unique directory structure under
  2. 2563c2
    <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt>, organized by any one of the above
    2563c2
    organizational designs above.
    2563c2
    2563c2
  3. To have a unique directory structure under
  4. 2563c2
    <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> to store translation files.
    2563c2
    2563c2
  5. To have a unique directory structure under
  6. 2563c2
    <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/Config'</tt> to set pre-rendition
    2563c2
    configuration script.
    2563c2
    2563c2
    2563c2

    As convenction, the render_doCopy function uses

    2563c2
    <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> directory structure as source location.  Once
    2563c2
    the <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> directory structure has been specified and
    2563c2
    verified, the related path information is built from it and copied
    2563c2
    automatically to the new location specified by FLAG_TO variable.

    2563c2

    Notice that design models are not included in source or target

    2563c2
    locations. This is intentional. In "Renderable layout 2", design
    2563c2
    models live by their own, they just exist, they are there, available
    2563c2
    for any artistic motif to use. By default `Themes/Models/Default'
    2563c2
    design model directory structure is used, but other design models
    2563c2
    directory structures (under Themes/Models/) can be created and used
    2563c2
    changing the value of THEMEMODEL variable inside the pre-rendition
    2563c2
    configuration script of the artistic motif source location you want to
    2563c2
    produce.
    2563c2

    2563c2

    Notice how translations and pre-rendition configuration scripts may

    2563c2
    both be equal in source and target. This is because such structures
    2563c2
    are common to all artistic motifs (the default values to use when no
    2563c2
    specific values are provided).
    2563c2

    2563c2

    - The common directory structures are not copied or deleted. We cannot

    2563c2
      copy a directory structure to itself.
    2563c2

    2563c2

    - The common directory structures represent the default value to use

    2563c2
      when no specific translations and/or pre-rendition configuration
    2563c2
      script are provided inside source location.
    2563c2

    2563c2

    - The specific directory structures, if present, are both copiable and

    2563c2
      removable. This is, when you perform a copy or delete action from
    2563c2
      source, that source specific auxiliar directories are transfered in
    2563c2
      the copy action to a new location (that specified by FLAG_TO
    2563c2
      variable).
    2563c2

    2563c2

    - When translations and/or pre-rendition configuration scripts are

    2563c2
      found inside the source directory structure, the centos-art.sh
    2563c2
      script loads common auxiliar directories first and later specific
    2563c2
      auxiliar directories.  This way, identity rendition of source
    2563c2
      locations can be customized idividually over the base of common
    2563c2
      default values.
    2563c2

    2563c2

    - The specific auxiliar directories are optional.

    2563c2

    2563c2

    - The common auxiliar directories should be present always. This is,

    2563c2
      in order to provide the information required by render functionality
    2563c2
      (i.e., to make it functional in the more basic level of its
    2563c2
      existence).
    2563c2

    2563c2

    Notice how the duplication process is done from `trunk/Identity' on,

    2563c2
    not the oposite. If you try to duplicate a translation structure (or
    2563c2
    similar auxiliar directory structures like pre-rendition configuration
    2563c2
    scripts), the `trunk/Identity' for that translation is not created.
    2563c2
    This limitation is impossed by the fact that many `trunk/Identity'
    2563c2
    directory structures may reuse/share the same translation directory
    2563c2
    structure. We cannot delete one translation (or similar) directory
    2563c2
    structures while a related `trunk/Identity/' directory structure is
    2563c2
    still in need of it.
    2563c2

    2563c2

    The `render_doCopy' functionality does duplicate directory structures

    2563c2
    directly involved in rendition process only. Once such directories
    2563c2
    have been duplicated, the functionality stops thereat.
