File Format rps
Overview
The LabRPS Standard file format (.rps) is LabRPS's main file format. It is a compound format, supports compression and embedding of different kinds of data.
Internals of .rps files
rps is a standard zip file containing one or more files in a specific structure. As such, it is possible to unpack a .rps file using a regular zip decompression tool, but care needs to be taken while packing the contents of a .rps file. LabRPS contains a "Project Utility" to re-pack .rps files, it's use is described in Change the source of the file .rps below.
Document.xml
This is the main .xml file describing all the objects inside a LabRPS document, that is, only the geometric and parametric definition of the objects, not their visual representation. If LabRPS is ran in console mode (without the GUI), only this Document.xml will be used.

GuiDocument.xml
This is the GUI counterpart of the Document.xml file. For each object described in the Document.xml, there is one corresponding object in GuiDocument.xml, describing the visual representation of that object (color, linewidth, etc).
Embedding other files
In order to embed other file types inside a rps file, you must first create a scripted object from the Python console, and give it an App::PropertyFileIncluded
property.
Then in the property editor you can go to the added property and choose a file in the computer. Once the rps file is saved, the file assigned to the DataPropertyFileIncluded property will be packed inside the .rps
. When the document is restored, the same file will be restored with the DataPropertyFileIncluded property.
custom_obj = App.ActiveDocument.addObject("App::FeaturePython", "CustomObject") custom_obj.addProperty("App::PropertyFileIncluded", "AttachedFile")
