You must have Doxygen installed on your machine to generate documentation for the OWA-EPANET Toolkit. Assuming this is the case, open a terminal window, navigate to the project's doc directory and issue the command doxygen. This will generate HTML documentation placed in a sub-directory named html. From that directory you can launch the index.html file to view the full documentation in a web browser.
To generate a Windows compiled HTML Help file you must have Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop installed. You then need to edit the Doxygen configuration file doxyfile as follows:
Change the GENERATE_HTMLHELP setting to YES.
Enter the location where the Help Workshop system was installed next to the
HHC_LOCATION setting.
After running Doxygen again the resulting Help file named owa-epanet.chm will appear in the html sub-directory.
Doxygen uses the special comments placed in the project's epanet2_2.h and epanet2_enums.h header files to document EPANET's API. It also uses supplementary material contained in the following files of the project's doc directory to generate additional pages of documentation:
main.dox: generates the Overview section.usage.dox: generates the Usage section.toolkit-examples.dox : generates the Examples section.toolkit-files.dox: generates the Toolkit Files section.input-file.dox: generates the Input File sub-section.toolkit-units.dox: generates the Measurement Units section.modules.dox: defines the contents of the API Reference section.Finally, a group of special Doxygen files are used to customize the format of the generated documentation. These include the following:
- doxyfile: the main Doxygen configuration file
- DoxygenLayout.xml: sets the title of the automatically generated Modules section to API Reference and hides the Files section in the tree view pane of the document.
- extrastylesheet.css: reduces the size of the the h1 heading style.
- newfooter.html: replaces the default Doxygen footer in HTML output with a custom one.
