Annotation of capa/capa51/pProj/capa.config.structure, revision 1.1.1.1
1.1 albertel 1: Part 1. General description
2:
3: Generally comments begin with a hash mark (#) in the first column.
4:
5: When specifying the value of a variable there must be a space before
6: the := or = . In all parts except for the capatools configuration use
7: an = to set a value. In the capatools section depending on the action
8: either a := or an = is required.
9:
10: When specifying a value that has spaces in it surround it with double
11: quotes.
12:
13: Example:
14:
15: some_variable = "some value with spaces"
16:

19: Part 2. class structure
20:
21: The first two keywords are used by capalogin, capasbin/capahtml (WWW
22: programs) and capatools, the last two keywords are used only by
23: capatools.
24:
25: exam_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/xns111f8
26:
27: exam_path specifies the directory that the exams are in for this class.
28:
29: quiz_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/qns111f8
30:
31: quiz_path specifies the directory that the quizzes are in for this
32: class.
33:
34: supp_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/sns111f8
35: others_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/fci111f8
36:
37:
38: ---
39: Part 3. Command specifications
40:
41: These 5 values specify where programs can be found, the settings are
42: used by Quizzer and capatools.
43:
44: latex_command = latex
45:
46: Specify how to run latex on your machine.
47:
48: dvips_command = dvips
49:
50: Specify how to run dvips on your machine.
51:
52: mail_command = /usr/bin/mailx
53:
54: Specify what mail program to use on your machine.
55:
56: allcapaid_command = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/allcapaid
57:
58: Specify where the allcapaid program has been installed
59:
60: qzparse_command = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/qzparse
61:
62: Specify where the qzparse program has been installed.
63:
64:
65: ---
66: Part 4. Printing configuration
67:
68: There are three keywords here which are used by capatools, Quizzer and
69: Grader to control how printing happens.
70:
71: printer_option = postscript1
72: printer_option = postscript2
73:
74: the first keyword may appear multiple times. It specifies all of the
75: printing queues you may select. When printing the list of thes queues
76: will be presented from which you can select the print queue you wish
77: to use.
78:
79: lprOneSided_command = "/usr/bin/lpr -P$Printer_selected"
80: lprTwoSided_command = "/usr/bin/lpspr -K2 $PS_file | /usr/bin/lpr -P$Printer_selected"
81:
82: The next two keywords lprOneSided_command and lprTwoSided_command
83: specify how to print one sided pieces of paper and two-sided sheets
84: respectively. As can seen by the above examples the needn't be a
85: single command, and can be a series of commands piped together. The
86: special variable $PS_file will be replaced with the name of the file
87: when this command is used, ad the special variable $Printer_selected
88: will be replaced with the name of the printer queue that is going to
89: be used.

93: Part 5. capalogin settings (telnet connection)
94:
95: There are three values to be defined for capalogin. All have default
96: values if they are unspecified.
97:
98: capalogin_goodby_delay = 10
99:
100: The delay time in seconds that CAPA waits at goodbye screen before
101: closing the connection. The default time is 5 seconds.
102:
103: capalogin_inactivity_delay = 35
104:
105: The delay time in minutes before CAPA closes a connection that has
106: been inactive. If the student fails to press any key in 35 minutes the
107: connection will be automatically closed. The default value is 60
108: minutes. To disable this feature set the delay to be zero and the
109: student will never be timed out
110:
111: capalogin_show_summary_score = none
112:
113: This value will inhibit the show of the summary line in view previous
114: sets. If it is set to any value other than none it will show the total
115: score. By default this option is set such that the summary line will
116: be shown.
117:
118:
119: ---
120: Part 6. Quizzer settings
121:
122: There is on quizzer setting right now. It is what is outputed by
123: pressing the "Std. Header" button.
124:
125: Everything taht appears between the keywords
126: BeginStandardQuizzerHeader
127: EnStandardQuizzerHeader
128: is entered into the current .qz file when this button is pressed.

132: Part 7. Units section
133:
134: Three subsections seperated by special idetifiers.
135:
136: --
137: Subsection 7.1 Base Units
138:
139: Base Units are the units which are the basis of all of the other units
140: derived.
141:
142: Special identifier:
143: << Base Unit >>
144:
145: 3 columns, all are required
146:
147: name symbol comment
148:
149: The name must be oneword. No spaces are allowed.
150:
151: The next column, symbol also cannot contain spaces. This is the name
152: that used in derived units to refer to this base unit.
153:
154: The third column is a comment it begins with a hash mark (#) and ends
155: when a return is seen. It is required.
156:
157:
158: --
159: Subsection 7.2 Prefixes
160:
161: Prefixes allow one to affix a single letter onto a base or Derived
162: unit to change it by a multiplicative offset.
163: I.e mm is milli meters = 10^-3 * m
164:
165: Special identifier:
166: << Prefix >>
167:
168: 3 columns, all required
169:
170: name symbol factor
171:
172: The name must be one word. No spaces are allowed.
173:
174: The symbol must be a single character.
175:
176: The factor is the multiplicative shift this prefix is.
177:
178:
179: --
180: Subsection 7.3 Derived Units
181:
182: Units that are combinations of the base units, each base unit can
183: occur no more than once in the definition of a derived unit. This
184: restriction is not true when attempting to answer a question using
185: units, it only holds in defining new derived units.
186:
187: Derived units can be specified in terms of other previously defined
188: derived units.
189:
190: Special identifier:
191: <<Derived Unit>>
192:
193: 4 columns all required
194:
195: first column is a name, it must not contain any spaces.
196:
197: The next column is the symbol, it can be multiple characters but
198: cannot contain spaces.
199:
200: The third column is the derivation of the unit, it contains an
201: optional multiplicative offset and then a specification in terms of
202: other base units and other previously defined derived units.
203:
204: The fourth column is a comment. It begins with a hash mark (#) and
205: ends with a return. It is required.
