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

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
