Repository Layout

Path	Purpose
include/multipack/	Public headers by domain.
src/	Implementation by domain (core, ui, network, robot, etc.).
ui/	Qt Designer forms and legacy UI resources.
resources/	Icons, audio, and Qt resources.
docs/	Deeper repository docs.
tests/	Qt test suites.

Useful Repository Docs

• docs/BUILDING.md
• docs/architecture.md

.rob File Structure

Multipack .rob files are tab-separated integer files. The parser tries UTF-8, Latin-1, Windows-1252, and then the system encoding.

Line or section	Meaning
Line 1	Palette dimensions: [length, width, height] in mm.
Line 2	Package dimensions: [length, width, height, gap] in mm.
Line 3	Number of layer types.
Line 4	Number of layers.
Layer assignment section	One row per layer: [layer_type, intermediate_layer_flag].
Package count section	One count row per layer type.
Package position section	One row per package position, 9 integers per row.

Package position format:

[xPick, yPick, anglePick, xDrop, yDrop, angleDrop, count, xVector, yVector]

Database Tables

Table	Purpose
paletten_metadata	File name, timestamp, layer/package counts, orientation, center of gravity.
daten	Raw integer .rob data by row and column.
paletten_dim	Palette dimensions.
paket_dim	Package dimensions, package weight, single-package-lengthwise flag.
lage_zuordnung	Layer type assignment per layer.
zwischenlagen	Intermediate layer flag per layer.
pakete_zuordnung	Package count per layer type.
paket_pos	Package position rows.

All child tables reference paletten_metadata(id) with cascade delete.

Coding Notes

• C++17 + Qt6 signals/slots.
• Ownership mostly via QObject parenting and smart pointers.
• Runtime state is shared through core::GlobalState.
• network::XmlRpcServer::registerStandardMethods() is the source of truth for deployed XML-RPC methods.
• UR10ServerFunctions and UR20ServerFunctions contain registry helper names that are not automatically exposed by the standard server.
