The source code for ProviewR is organised in layers, where each layers is built on top of, and adds additional functionality to, the layer below. These layers are:
0. src/exp/inc: Basic type definitions and macros.
1. src/lib/co: Library of common (CO) functionality used by all other parts of ProviewR.
2. src/lib/rt: Library of functionality used by the ProviewR RunTime (RT).
3. xtt/lib/cow: Library of common widgets (COW) used by all graphical parts of ProviewR.
4. xtt/lib/flow and xtt/lib/glow: These are small GUI widget libraries. Flow is used by ProviewR itself to draw the WorkBench and Runtime Viewer, while Glow is used to draw the user-created graphical interfaces for operators.
5. xtt/lib/ge: GE is used to create graphical interfaces for operators.
6. xtt/lib/xtt and wb/lib/wb: These libraries contain the graphical widgets used by the xtt/exe and wb/exe executables respectively.
7. src/exe, xtt/exe and wb/exe: These folders contain the code for the actual executables. src/exe contain the command-line RunTime executables, wb/exe contain the executables for the WorkBench (WB), and xtt/exe contain the executables for the Runtime Viewer.
In addition to these, ProviewR comes with a number of plugins that adds support for various hardware, for example: the profibus folder adds support for profibus, etc.
