| 394 : | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 395 : | |||
| 396 : | WeBWorK::PG encapsulates the PG translation process, making multiple calls to | ||
| 397 : | WeBWorK::PG::Translator. Much of the flexibility of the Translator is hidden, | ||
| 398 : | instead making choices that are appropriate for the webwork-modperl system. | ||
| 399 : | |||

| 405 : | sh002i | 440 | |
| 406 : | The C<new> method creates a translator, initializes it using the parameters | ||
| 407 : | specified, translates a PG file, and processes answers. It returns a reference | ||
| 408 : | to a blessed hash containing the results of the translation process. | ||

| 527 : | =head1 OPERATION | ||
| 528 : | |||
| 529 : | WeBWorK::PG goes through the following operations when constructed: | ||
| 530 : | |||
| 531 : | =over | ||
| 532 : | |||
| 533 : | =item Get database information | ||
| 534 : | |||
| 535 : | Retrieve information about the current user, set, and problem from the | ||
| 536 : | database. | ||
| 537 : | |||
| 538 : | =item Create a translator | ||
| 539 : | |||
| 540 : | Instantiate a WeBWorK::PG::Translator object. | ||
| 541 : | |||
| 542 : | =item Set the directory hash | ||
| 543 : | |||
| 544 : | Set the translator's directory hash (courseScripts, macros, templates, and temp | ||
| 545 : | directories) from the course environment. | ||
| 546 : | |||
| 547 : | =item Evaluate PG modules | ||
| 548 : | |||
| 549 : | Using the module list from the course environment (pg->modules), perform a | ||
| 550 : | "use"-like operation to evaluate modules at runtime. | ||
| 551 : | |||
| 552 : | =item Set the problem environment | ||
| 553 : | |||
| 554 : | Use data from the user, set, and problem, as well as the course environemnt and | ||
| 555 : | translation options, to set the problem environment. | ||
| 556 : | |||
| 557 : | =item Initialize the translator | ||
| 558 : | |||
| 559 : | Call &WeBWorK::PG::Translator::initialize. What more do you want? | ||
| 560 : | |||
| 561 : | =item Load PG.pl and dangerousMacros.pl | ||
| 562 : | |||
| 563 : | These macros must be loaded without opcode masking, so they are loaded here. | ||
| 564 : | |||
| 565 : | =item Set the opcode mask | ||
| 566 : | |||
| 567 : | Set the opcode mask to the default specified by WeBWorK::PG::Translator. | ||
| 568 : | |||
| 569 : | =item Load the problem source | ||
| 570 : | |||
| 571 : | Give the problem source to the translator. | ||
| 572 : | |||
| 573 : | =item Install a safety filter | ||
| 574 : | |||
| 575 : | The safety filter is used to preprocess student input before evaluation. The | ||
| 576 : | default safety filter, &WeBWorK::PG::safetyFilter, is used. | ||
| 577 : | |||
| 578 : | =item Translate the problem source | ||
| 579 : | |||
| 580 : | Call &WeBWorK::PG::Translator::translate to render the problem source into the | ||
| 581 : | format given by the display mode. | ||
| 582 : | |||
| 583 : | =item Process student answers | ||
| 584 : | |||
| 585 : | Use form field inputs to evaluate student answers. | ||
| 586 : | |||
| 587 : | =item Load the problem state | ||
| 588 : | |||
| 589 : | Use values from the database to initialize the problem state, so that the | ||
| 590 : | grader will have a point of reference. | ||
| 591 : | |||
| 592 : | =item Determine an entry order | ||
| 593 : | |||
| 594 : | Use the ANSWER_ENTRY_ORDER flag to determine the order of answers in the | ||
| 595 : | problem. This is important for problems with dependancies among parts. | ||
| 596 : | |||
| 597 : | =item Install a grader | ||
| 598 : | |||
| 599 : | Use the PROBLEM_GRADER_TO_USE flag, or a default from the course environment, | ||
| 600 : | to install a grader. | ||
| 601 : | |||
| 602 : | =item Grade the problem | ||
| 603 : | |||
| 604 : | Use the selected grader to grade the problem. | ||
