using doxygen

[Nina]

Hello,

I have trouble finding information using doxygen and I am hoping someone can give some pointers. I want to use ns-3 for wifi simulation. I have read tutorial and Wifi Module Model Library and I have tried searching topics on this group but couldn't find any answers because i think my questions are too general. 

1.My main issue with doxygen are attributes of methods. For example, I am looking at YansWifiChannelHelper class and method AddPropagationLoss:

void ns3::YansWifiChannelHelper::AddPropagationLoss ( std::string  name, std::string  n0 = "", const AttributeValue &  v0 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n1 = "", const AttributeValue &  v1 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n2 = "", const AttributeValue &  v2 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n3 = "", const AttributeValue &  v3 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n4 = "", const AttributeValue &  v4 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n5 = "", const AttributeValue &  v5 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n6 = "", const AttributeValue &  v6 = EmptyAttributeValue (), std::string  n7 = "", const AttributeValue &  v7 = EmptyAttributeValue ()  )
Parameters name the name of the model to add n0 the name of the attribute to set v0 the value of the attribute to set n1 the name of the attribute to set v1 the value of the attribute to set n2 the name of the attribute to set v2 the value of the attribute to set n3 the name of the attribute to set v3 the value of the attribute to set n4 the name of the attribute to set v4 the value of the attribute to set n5 the name of the attribute to set v5 the value of the attribute to set n6 the name of the attribute to set v6 the value of the attribute to set n7 the name of the attribute to set v7 the value of the attribute to set Where can I see what are my options for models to add? What are all other attributes and their default vaules?		This is my issue with methods in some other classes as well.

2.When using Building class, what measurement unit do coordinates x,y and z represent  (and where can I find this information)? 

3.When using setBuildingType I know there are three types of building, but where can i see their description?

4.When I am setting external or internal walls type what does have priority - walls in the building type or walls that I set with methods ( setExWallsType)?

In general, I have trouble finding information about using classes and their methods so I feel like I am missing something. I have read source and header files as well but could not find information there either. Can someone please help?

YansWifiChannelHelper is a helper, so it’s going to configure some factories to create the objects needed. One of these is a PropagationLossModel. The Attribute names and legal values will belong to the PropagationLossModel you configure the helper with.

I agree this should be explained better in the documentation.

I understand this now, thank you for your help.
