Much of the flexibility of the Translator is hidden, instead making choices that are appropriate for the webwork-modperl system. =head1 CONSTRUCTION =over =item new (ENVIRONMENT, USER, KEY, SET, PROBLEM, PSVN, FIELDS, OPTIONS) The C method creates a translator, initializes it using the parameters specified, translates a PG file, and processes answers. It returns a reference to a blessed hash containing the results of the translation process. =back =head2 Parameters =over =item ENVIRONMENT a WeBWorK::CourseEnvironment object =item USER a WeBWorK::User object =item KEY the session key of the current session =item SET a WeBWorK::Set object =item PROBLEM a WeBWorK::Problem object. The contents of the source_file field can specify a PG file either by absolute path or path relative to the "templates" directory. I =item PSVN the problem set version number =item FIELDS a reference to a hash (as returned by &WeBWorK::Form::Vars) containing form fields submitted by a problem processor. The translator will look for fields like "AnSwEr[0-9]" containing submitted student answers. =item OPTIONS a reference to a hash containing the following data: =over =item displayMode one of "plainText", "formattedText", or "images" =item showHints boolean, render hints =item showSolutions boolean, render solutions =item refreshMath2img boolean, force images created by math2img (in "images" mode) to be recreated, even if the PG source has not been updated. =item processAnswers boolean, call answer evaluators and graders =back =back =head2 RETURN VALUE The C method returns a blessed hash reference containing the following fields. More information can be found in the documentation for WeBWorK::PG::Translator. =over =item translator The WeBWorK::PG::Translator object used to render the problem. =item head_text HTML code for the EheadE block of an resulting web page. Used for JavaScript features. =item body_text HTML code for the EbodyE block of an resulting web page. =item answers An C object containing submitted answers, and results of answer evaluation. =item result A hash containing the results of grading the problem. =item state A hash containing the new problem state. =item errors A string containing any errors encountered while rendering the problem. =item warnings A string containing any warnings encountered while rendering the problem. =item flags A hash containing PG_flags (see the Translator docs). =back =head1 OPERATION WeBWorK::PG goes through the following operations when constructed: =over =item Get database information Retrieve information about the current user, set, and problem from the database. =item Create a translator Instantiate a WeBWorK::PG::Translator object. =item Set the directory hash Set the translator's directory hash (courseScripts, macros, templates, and temp directories) from the course environment. =item Evaluate PG modules Using the module list from the course environment (pg->modules), perform a "use"-like operation to evaluate modules at runtime. =item Set the problem environment Use data from the user, set, and problem, as well as the course environemnt and translation options, to set the problem environment. =item Initialize the translator Call &WeBWorK::PG::Translator::initialize. What more do you want? =item Load PG.pl and dangerousMacros.pl These macros must be loaded without opcode masking, so they are loaded here. =item Set the opcode mask Set the opcode mask to the default specified by WeBWorK::PG::Translator. =item Load the problem source Give the problem source to the translator. =item Install a safety filter The safety filter is used to preprocess student input before evaluation. The default safety filter, &WeBWorK::PG::safetyFilter, is used. =item Translate the problem source Call &WeBWorK::PG::Translator::translate to render the problem source into the format given by the display mode. =item Process student answers Use form field inputs to evaluate student answers. =item Load the problem state Use values from the database to initialize the problem state, so that the grader will have a point of reference. =item Determine an entry order Use the ANSWER_ENTRY_ORDER flag to determine the order of answers in the problem. This is important for problems with dependancies among parts. =item Install a grader Use the PROBLEM_GRADER_TO_USE flag, or a default from the course environment, to install a grader. =item Grade the problem Use the selected grader to grade the problem. =back =head1 AUTHOR Written by Sam Hathaway, sh002i (at) math.rochester.edu. =cut
