+
+=pod
+
+lonnavmaps provides functions and objects for dealing with the compiled course hashes generated when a user enters the course, and also provides the Apache handler for the "Navigation Map" button.
+
+=head1 navmap object: Encapsulating the compiled nav map
+
+navmap is an object that encapsulates a compiled course map and provides a reasonable interface to it.
+
+Most notably it provides a way to navigate the map sensibly and a flexible iterator that makes it easy to write various renderers based on nav maps.
+
+You must obtain resource objects through the navmap object.
+
+=head2 Methods
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * B<new>(navHashFile, parmHashFile, genCourseAndUserOptions, genMailDiscussStatus): Binds a new navmap object to the compiled nav map hash and parm hash given as filenames. genCourseAndUserOptions is a flag saying whether the course options and user options hash should be generated. This is for when you are using the parameters of the resources that require them; see documentation in resource object documentation. genMailDiscussStatus causes the nav map to retreive information about the email and discussion status of resources. Returns the navmap object if this is successful, or B<undef> if not. You must check for undef; errors will occur when you try to use the other methods otherwise.
+
+=item * B<getIterator>(first, finish, filter, condition): See iterator documentation below.

+=head1 navmap Iterator
+
+An I<iterator> encapsulates the logic required to traverse a data structure. navmap uses an iterator to traverse the course map according to the criteria you wish to use.
+
+To obtain an iterator, call the B<getIterator>() function of a B<navmap> object. (Do not instantiate Apache::lonnavmaps::iterator directly.) This will return a reference to the iterator:
+
+C<my $resourceIterator = $navmap-E<gt>getIterator();>
+
+To get the next thing from the iterator, call B<next>:
+
+C<my $nextThing = $resourceIterator-E<gt>next()>
+
+getIterator behaves as follows:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * B<getIterator>(firstResource, finishResource, filterHash, condition): All parameters are optional. firstResource is a resource reference corresponding to where the iterator should start. It defaults to navmap->firstResource() for the corresponding nav map. finishResource corresponds to where you want the iterator to end, defaulting to navmap->finishResource(). filterHash is a hash used as a set containing strings representing the resource IDs, defaulting to empty. Condition is a 1 or 0 that sets what to do with the filter hash: If a 0, then only resource that exist IN the filterHash will be recursed on. If it is a 1, only resources NOT in the filterHash will be recursed on. Defaults to 0.
+
+Thus, by default, only top-level resources will be shown. Change the condition to a 1 without changing the hash, and all resources will be shown. Changing the condition to 1 and including some values in the hash will allow you to selectively suppress parts of the navmap, while leaving it on 0 and adding things to the hash will allow you to selectively add parts of the nav map. See the handler code for examples.
+
+The iterator will return either a reference to a resource object, or a token representing something in the map, such as the beginning of a new branch. The possible tokens are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * BEGIN_MAP: A new map is being recursed into. This is returned I<after> the map resource itself is returned.
+
+=item * END_MAP: The map is now done.
+
+=item * BEGIN_BRANCH: A branch is now starting. The next resource returned will be the first in that branch.
+
+=item * END_BRANCH: The branch is now done.
+
+=back
+
+The tokens are retreivable via methods on the iterator object, i.e., $iterator->END_MAP.

+=head1 Object: resource
 
+A resource object encapsulates a resource in a resource map, allowing easy manipulation of the resource, querying the properties of the resource (including user properties), and represents a reference that can be used as the canonical representation of the resource by lonnavmap clients like renderers.
 
+A resource only makes sense in the context of a navmap, as some of the data is stored in the navmap object.
 
+You will probably never need to instantiate this object directly. Use Apache::lonnavmap::navmap, and use the "start" method to obtain the starting resource.
 
+=head2 Public Members
+
+resource objects have a hash called DATA ($resourceRef->{DATA}) that you can store whatever you want in. This allows you to easily do two-pass algorithms without worrying about managing your own resource->data hash.

+# of strings corresponding to the parts. (Thus, using it in a scalar context
+# tells you how many parts you have in the problem:
+# $partcount = scalar($resource->countParts());
+# Don't use $self->{PARTS} directly because you don't know if it's been
+# computed yet.

+=item * B<parts>(): Returns a list reference containing sorted strings corresponding to each part of the problem. To count the number of parts, use the list in a scalar context, and subtract one if greater then two. (One part problems have a part 0. Multi-parts have a part 0, plus a part for each part. Filtering part 0 if you want it is up to you.)
+
+=item * B<countParts>(): Returns the number of parts of the problem a student can answer. Thus, for single part problems, returns 1. For multipart, it returns the number of parts in the problem, not including psuedo-part 0. Thus, B<parts> may return an array with fewer parts in it then countParts might lead you to believe.

+=head2 Resource Status
+
+Problem resources have status information, reflecting their various dates and completion statuses. 
+
+There are two aspects to the status: the date-related information and the completion information.
+
+Idiomatic usage of these two methods would probably look something like
+
+ foreach ($resource->parts()) {
+    my $dateStatus = $resource->getDateStatus($_);
+    my $completionStatus = $resource->getCompletionStatus($_);
+
+    or
+
+    my $status = $resource->status($_);
+
+    ... use it here ...
+ }
+
+Which you use depends on exactly what you are looking for. The status() function has been optimized for the nav maps display and may not precisely match what you need elsewhere.
+
+The symbolic constants shown below can be accessed through the resource object: $res->OPEN.
