Pipeline Code Internal Organization
########################################


Major software components and object classes
================================================

The GPI data pipeline is implemented in object-oriented fashion using IDL classes. Some classes provide GUI windows, other provide
internal components that don't directly draw to the screen.

This page briefly summarizes the different components. For detailed documentation
on the functions and variables internal to the following, please see the
comments in the source code directly.




Internals: (mostly in pipeline/backbone directory)
--------------------------------------------------

The following are all object classes, so see e.g. ``launcher__define.pro`` for the source code for the "launcher" object.

gpipipelinebackbone
The main object class of the pipeline! Loops forever waiting for
recipe files and processes them one at a time when they arrive.

drf
High level wrapper class for recipe files (aka DRFs).
The actual work of parsing the XML is done in the gpidrfparser class, but
the interface of that one is not so user friendly due to how IDL's XML parsing system (ffXMLParser class) works.

gpidrfparser
Lower-level class for parsing an XML recipe file. Avoid using this
directly if you can - the drf class is generally more convenient.

gpidrsconfigparser
Lower level class for parsing an XML primitives config
file (that is, the list of all available primitives).

gpicaldatabase
:ref:`calibdb` class. Maintains an index of available
calibration files and has tools for looking up the best one for a given task.

launcher
This class provides the bidirectional communication flow between the two IDL sessions.
*This class can be both an internal and a GUI, depending on how it's invoked.*
In one IDL session, it is started directly to create and run the Launcher window that provides buttons to
start the other programs. Another copy of it gets loaded inside
gpipipelinebackbone, where it provides the inter-process communication pipeline that
lets the backbone talk to the Launcher window running in the other IDL session.


GUIs:
----------

launcher
See description above.

gpistatusconsole
:ref:`status_console` window object definition. This is the one GUI that runs
in the same IDL session with the backbone itself, allowing direct control of it.

gpi_gui_base
*Not used directly, just a base class from which the other windows are derived. Provides common infrastructure*

automaticreducer
:ref:`autoreducer` window object definition

gpi_recipe_editor
:ref:`recipe_editor` window object definition

parsergui
:ref:`data_parser` window object definition

queueview
:ref:`queue_viewer` window object definition




Function Call Hierarchy when Running Recipes
===============================================

The main loop of the pipeline occurs inside the ``gpipipelinebackbone::run_queue`` method.


The call hierarchy inside gpipipelinebackbone is something like the following. Each indentation indicates being one level deeper in the call stack or inside a loop Each of these methods is part of gpipipelinebackbone.

::

gpipipelinebackbone::Run_queue (loops forever checking the queue)
gpipipelinebackbone::run_one_recipe (called when a recipe is found)
parses recipe
gpipipelinebackbone::Reduce
loops over input files in that recipe
loops over modules in that recipe
gpipipelinebackbone::RunModule
invokes actual primitive code here...
update log and status window for each primitive
update log and status window for each file
update status console, clean up recipe file
Check for user input from status console buttons
Check for any new recipe files to process
loop to continue running queue





Common Blocks
===================

The pipeline uses some IDL common blocks to pass global variables between different routines.

.. note::
**TODO**

Document here the common block variables in the code, in both the APP_CONSTANTS and PIP common blocks.
TBD if it is possible to merge both? There is some low level stuff here that is probably obsolete and
could be cleaned up.
