I will write this stuff AFTER I have working version and no major architectural changes.

Description

Interface Summary

IFadeLine	Interface for fade line of an agent in the map.
IRenderableUTAgent	This interface is used for passing info about agent to EntityRenderer.
ISubGLRenderer<T>	This is a subrenderer, it's job is to render some stuff.
MapViewpoint.ViewpointListener

Class Summary

DefaultFadeLine	FadeLine that is used when there is not fade line.
EnvironmentRenderer	Renderer renders the environment of the unreal map according to passed arguments in the constructor.
EnvironmentRenderer.SelectionHit
GlColor	AWT provided Color class is not very suitable for OpenGl color manipulation so this class is supposed to remedy it.
GLRendererCollection<T>	Basically list of ISubGLRenderers with stuff for manipulating it and rendering it.
GLTextWindow	Window for text
GLTools
MapController	Class for controling viewport in map.
MapRenderer	Renderer of map.
MapViewpoint	Representation of where is observer in map and where does he look, what is its POV angle ect.
TLFadeLine	More or less dummy class representing fade line for entity.
TLMapGLPanel	Panel that is rendering map structure and agents inside.
UTAgentSubGLRenderer	Sub-renderer for object IRenderableUTAgent Implementation note: be careful when asking twice for same field of agent (like agent.getRotation()), because it is dependant on time when you ask and returned value is not guaranteed to be same (like first can be valid and second null).

Package cz.cuni.amis.nb.pogamut.unreal.timeline.map Description

I will write this stuff AFTER I have working version and no major architectural changes. In the meantime the only thing here are meaningless mumbles.

How does rendering of map works?

For entity like this:
TLEntity<-TLRenderableUTAgent<-ISubGLRenderer<-map

When entity is supposed tobe added, in TLMapGLPanel updateEntities is called and new renderer is created and added to GLRenderCollection.

How is it all connected

When is map re-rendered?

When database emits onChangedCurrentTime(), one of listeners is TLMapGLPanel. It updates map entities and other stuff and calls display which rerenders all GLEventListeners of the panel.
