	=head1 OVERVIEW

	X<lonnavmaps, overview> When a user enters a course, LON-CAPA examines the
	course structure and caches it in what is often referred to as the
	"big hash" X<big hash>. You can see it if you are logged into
	LON-CAPA, in a course, by going to /adm/test. (You may need to
	tweak the /home/httpd/lonTabs/htpasswd file to view it.) The
	content of the hash will be under the heading "Big Hash".

	Big Hash contains, among other things, how resources are related
	to each other (next/previous), what resources are maps, which
	resources are being chosen to not show to the student (for random
	selection), and a lot of other things that can take a lot of time
	to compute due to the amount of data that needs to be collected and
	processed.

	Apache::lonnavmaps provides an object model for manipulating this
	information in a higher-level fashion then directly manipulating
	the hash. It also provides access to several auxilary functions
	that aren't necessarily stored in the Big Hash, but are a per-
	resource sort of value, like whether there is any feedback on
	a given resource.

	Apache::lonnavmaps also abstracts away branching, and someday,
	conditions, for the times where you don't really care about those
	things.

	Apache::lonnavmaps also provides fairly powerful routines for
	rendering navmaps, and last but not least, provides the navmaps
	view for when the user clicks the NAV button.

	B<Note>: Apache::lonnavmaps I<only> works for the "currently
	logged in user"; if you want things like "due dates for another
	student" lonnavmaps can not directly retrieve information like
	that. You need the EXT function. This module can still help,
	because many things, such as the course structure, are constant
	between users, and Apache::lonnavmaps can help by providing
	symbs for the EXT call.

	The rest of this file will cover the provided rendering routines,
	which can often be used without fiddling with the navmap object at
	all, then documents the Apache::lonnavmaps::navmap object, which
	is the key to accessing the Big Hash information, covers the use
	of the Iterator (which provides the logic for traversing the
	somewhat-complicated Big Hash data structure), documents the
	Apache::lonnavmaps::Resource objects that are returned by

Apache handler for the "Navigation Map" button, and a flexible
prepared renderer for navigation maps that are easy to use anywhere.

=head1 Object: navmap	=head2 Overview

Encapsulating the compiled nav map	The navmap object's job is to provide access to the resources
	in the course as Apache::lonnavmaps::resource objects, and to
	query and manage the relationship between those resource objects.

provides a reasonable interface to it.	In order of increasing complexity and power:

Most notably it provides a way to navigate the map sensibly and a	=over 4
flexible iterator that makes it easy to write various renderers based
on nav maps.

You must obtain resource objects through the navmap object.	=item * C<$navmap-E<gt>getByX>, where X is B<Id>, B<Symb>, B<Url> or B<MapPc>. This provides
	various ways to obtain resource objects, based on various identifiers.
	Use this when you want to request information about one object or
	a handful of resources you already know the identities of, from some
	other source. For more about Ids, Symbs, and MapPcs, see the
	Resource documentation. Note that Url should be a B<last resort>,
	not your first choice; it only works when there is only one
	instance of the resource in the course, which only applies to
	maps, and even that may change in the future.

	=item * C<my @resources = $navmap-E<gt>retrieveResources(args)>. This
	retrieves resources matching some criterion and returns them
	in a flat array, with no structure information. Use this when
	you are manipulating a series of resources, based on what map
	the are in, but do not care about branching, or exactly how
	the maps and resources are related. This is the most common case.

	=item * C<$it = $navmap-E<gt>getIterator(args)>. This allows you traverse
	the course's navmap in various ways without writing the traversal
	code yourself. See iterator documentation below. Use this when
	you need to know absolutely everything about the course, including
	branches and the precise relationship between maps and resources.

	Once you have the $navmap object, call ->init() on it when you are ready
	to use it. This allows you to check if the course map is defined (see
	B<courseMapDefined> below) before engaging in potentially expensive
	initialization routines for the genCourseAndUserOptions and
	genMailDiscussStatus option.

	When you are done with the $navmap object, you I<must> call
	$navmap->untieHashes(), or you'll prevent the current user from using that
	course until the web server is restarted. (!)

	Generally, you do not ever want to create a resource object yourself,
	so creation has been left undocumented. Always retrieve resources
	from navmap objects.

	=head3 Identifying Resources

	X<big hash>Every resource is identified by a Resource ID in the big hash that is
	unique to that resource for a given course. X<resource ID, in big hash>
	The Resource ID has the form #.#, where the first number is the same
	for every resource in a map, and the second is unique. For instance,
	for a course laid out like this:

	* Problem 1
	* Map
	* Resource 2
	* Resource 3

	C<Problem 1> and C<Map> will share a first number, and C<Resource 2>
	C<Resource 3> will share a first number. The second number may end up
	re-used between the two groups.

	The resource ID is only used in the big hash, but can be used in the
	context of a course to identify a resource easily. (For instance, the
	printing system uses it to record which resources from a sequence you
	wish to print.)

	X<symb> X<resource, symb>
	All resources also have B<symb>s, which uniquely identify a resource
	in a course. Many internal LON-CAPA functions expect a symb. A symb
	carries along with it the URL of the resource, and the map it appears
	in. Symbs are much larger then resource IDs.

B<Metadata Retreival>	=head2 Methods

	Once you have a resource object, here's what you can do with it:

These are methods that help you retrieve metadata about the resource:	=head3 Attribute Retrieval
Method names are based on the fields in the compiled course
representation.	Every resource has certain attributes that can be retrieved and used:

	=item * B<ID>: Every resource has an ID that is unique for that
	resource in the course it is in. The ID is actually in the hash
	representing the resource, so for a resource object $res, obtain
	it via C<$res->{ID}).
