Hello,

some weeks ago, I successfully completed my diploma thesis "Graphik-Editor
für RailML-basierte Eisenbahninfrastrukturdaten". The result was a
prototype of a tool called RailML-Editor.

From today on, I'll do further work on this developped tool to make it
more usable.

Feel free to ask or make suggestions.

Best regards,
Matthias Hengartner

That sounds really promising! Can you give us a short overview about the
features of that tool?

Okay:
Which platforms (Windows, Mac, *nix) are supported?
Is it open or closed source? If you decide to make it "open source" (that
would fit nicely to an open standard like RailML), you could get support
for your development. On the other hand: if you get paid by your institute
for the development of that tool, then open source is not really an option
for you (or your superiors, to be precise)...

Best regards,

Daniel Hürlimann sent the documentation of my work to Vasco Paul Krauss.
This and other documents will be published on railml.org as soon as the
next update is done.
Anyway, i try to give you a short overview about the features implemented
(all or part) so far:

- Open & save of valid railML infrastructure files (v.0.94.10/11)
- Schematic visualisation of infrastructure elements (tracks,
trackElements, stations) according to the visualisation data
- Generation of a visualisation in case there is no visualisation data
- Graphic editor functionalities (add, move, remove, multiselect) for
infrastructure elements
- Editing of the attributes of infrastructure elements
- Computation of corridor-oriented and geographic views of an
infrastructure
- Import- and export-filter for railML/OpenTrack


> Which platforms (Windows, Mac, *nix) are supported?

At present only Windows. But it's implemented on OpenStep, so I guess it
SHOULD be portable on Mac without really significant problems.

As you need OpenStep to run RailML-Editor, it is not really "open source".
I think, as soon as there is a more useable version, we will publish this
tool (at least for railML developpers; with or without the source code).


With kind regards

Thanks!

*Aaaargh* OpenStep! My personal nightmare!
I spent 4 hours trying to run OpenStep with Wine in order to use OpenTrack
with Linux. But I failed. Ever since that time, tiny little red spots pop
out all over my face as soon as I hear the words "OpenStep".
But for portability between Mac and Windows, OpenStep may surely be a good
solution....

Okay, that sounds pretty promising!
