Here's my first contribution, a rough outline of a class structure.
*** LDRAW LINE TYPE CLASSES ***
abstract class LineType - ancestor class for all line-type objects
+ class LineType0 - comment line-type
+ class LineTypeCommand - command line-type
+ abstract class PhysicalLineType - ancestor class for all physically
mutable line-types
+ class LineType1 - subpart line-type
+ abstract class PrimitiveLineType - ancestor class for all
line-segment-containing line-types
+ class LineType2 - line segment line-type
+ class LineType3 - triangle line-type
+ class LineType4 - quad line-type
+ class LineType5 - optional line segment line-type
+ class LineTypeNull - blank line-type
*** LDRAW DAT MANAGEMENT CLASSES ***
class ColorManager
class LDrawFile - a container for LineType objects, represents a single datfile
+ class LDrawFileMulti - a container for LDrawFile objects, represents an
MPD file
abstract class ModelLoader - ancestor class for all model loaders, model cache
+ class DiskModelLoader - loads datfiles from local storage
+ class HTTPModelLoader - loads datfiles from web repository
class ModelParser - parses a datfile into its component LineType objects
*** LDRAW DAT RENDERER CLASSES ***
abstract class LDrawRenderer - ancestor class for renderers
+ class LDrawRendererOrthographic - renders LDraw.exe style
*** MATH CLASSES ***
abstract class MatrixNxN - ancestor class for transformation matrices
+ class Matrix4x4 - a 4x4 transformation matrix
abstract class VectorN - ancestor class for vectors
+ class Vector3 - a 3-element vector, useful for coordinates, euler angles,
RGB color values, etc.
+ class Vector4 - a 4-element vector, useful for 4x4 Matrix math,
quaternions, etc.
Cheers,

| Hey folks, I think we need to figure out a comprehensive LDraw object model. Something that can be presented simply, and easily ported to various modern programming languages. A comprehensive class diagram would be a great start, and some code to (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
