| 8 : | =head1 NAME | ||
| 9 : | |||
| 10 : | WeBWorK::PG::EquationCache - create and cache images of TeX equations. | ||
| 11 : | |||
| 12 : | =head1 SYNPOSIS | ||
| 13 : | |||
| 14 : | my $cache = WeBWorK::PG::EquationCache->new(cacheDB => "/path/to/equationcache.db"); | ||
| 15 : | my $imageName = $cache->lookup('\[3x^2\]'); | ||
| 16 : | |||
| 17 : | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 18 : | |||
| 19 : | WeBWorK::PG::EquationCache maintains a list of unique identifiers for TeX | ||
| 20 : | strings. The unique identifier is based on an MD5 hash of the TeX string, and a | ||
| 21 : | sequence number. Before calcuating the MD5 hash of a TeX string, all whitespace | ||
| 22 : | is removed. | ||
| 23 : | |||
| 24 : | =head2 FILE FORMAT | ||
| 25 : | |||
| 26 : | The cache database file is a text file consisting of lines of the following | ||
| 27 : | form: | ||
| 28 : | |||
| 29 : | md5_hash sequence_number tex_string | ||
| 30 : | |||
| 31 : | Any amount of whitespace may separate the fields. Lines which do not conform to | ||
| 32 : | this format are ignored. Any string of characters beginning with `#' and | ||
| 33 : | extending to the end of the line is also ignored. | ||
| 34 : | |||
| 35 : | =cut | ||
| 36 : | |||
| 37 : | use strict; | ||
| 38 : | use warnings; | ||
| 39 : | use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex); | ||
| 40 : | use Fcntl qw(:DEFAULT :flock); | ||

| 43 : | |||
| 44 : | =over | ||
| 45 : | |||
| 46 : | =item new | ||
| 47 : | |||
| 48 : | Returns a new EquationCache object. C<%options> must contain the following | ||
| 49 : | entries: | ||
| 50 : | |||
| 51 : | cacheDB => path to image cache database file | ||

| 64 : | |||
| 65 : | =item lookup | ||
| 66 : | |||
| 67 : | Looks up a TeX string in the database. A unique identifier for the cached image | ||
| 68 : | is returned. If necessary, the string is added to the database. | ||
