Getting started
For the impatient:
- right click in the input area and choose a template of textual indication
- click on 'submit'
- you get an XML representation of the indication in 'Input data parsing result' area
- you get HTML code for representating the indication in 'Html code for graphic-like GPS&V indication representation' area
- you get a rough graphic-like representation of the textual indication in blue below XML and HTML areas.
You can further modify the textual indication either by using the keyboard or by left clicking to obtain special symbols.
By selecting 'submit' after modification of the input you will either get a new XML representation or an error report with some information on where the parsing failed. You can use this
information to fix the textual indicaton or send an email to the author by clicking on 'e-mail' button.
You can efficiently contribute by sending your different attempts to the author by simply clicking on the 'e-mail' button.
Context
The GPS&V TIP is a textual indication parser.
An invisible XML grammar has been developped by the author JF MAUREL (VELAMA) released under GPL License. The view button can be used to display the full
grammar.
This grammar is a work in progress to experiment on the possibility of checking the syntax rules existing in current
ISO GPS standards. This
work is the full responsability of the author.
The aim of the GPS&V TIP tool is to share this work and to provide to everyone the ability to contribute.
Current status and future work
GPS&V TIP parses syntax rules for:
- geometrical specification indications (implemented and tested on current standard examples)
- size specification indication (implemented but not tested)
- surface texture (partially implemented and not tested)
Only syntax rules are checked. No semantic rules are implemented nor checked. This means that indication considered valid by the parser could be completely meaningless according to
current standards.
A future work is to implement semantic rules by further analysing the XML obtained from the parsing result.
