A smile document contains all information necessary to describe a structure:
- Size and location of the Write Field
- A hierarchical list of elements (see: Outliner and Concepts)
- Construction history (see: Node Editor and doc_elements)
- Profile Maps (see: ExposureMap)
- All kind of exposure settings
- Position markers for alignment
- Alignment scans
- Alignment matrix
- Different kind of document settings (eg. appearance and save options) (see: document)
The following chapters give on overview how structures are represented in smile documents. For a reference on all document settings refer to the document node reference.
