− | === PROJECT SUMMARY ===
| |
− |
| |
− | This year's GSoC was my first and most exciting projects given the fact that I'm working on my first opensource project and contributing for my first time to a great software and organization like BRL-CAD.
| |
− |
| |
− | For the past three months I worked on implementing a pull routine which reversed the effects of a push on a CSG tree. This project focused on reversing the effects of the push command available in BRL-CAD and also pulling up and unpushed node. While following my implementation outline as described in my [http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:NyahCh3ck20/GSOC13/Design_Document Design Document], I kept modifying the plan as needed and tried updating my [http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:NyahCh3ck20/GSoc2013/Coding_Report logs] daily especially when I initially had no stable Internet access.

− | Before the Mid-term Evaluations, I studied the push and xpush routines seeing how the matrices were pushed down the tree in respective commands and started implementing and finished implementing the pull_comb() routine which pulls the matrix transformations in a combination node. Submitted patches on sourceforge for review. I tested various parts of the routine and made sure routine works perfectly will continue testing and fixing bugs if any post GSoC to make sure command is complete. Also, I wrote tests for the poly.c routines and submitted patches on sourceforge; tested the bn_mat_inverse() routine implemented for BRL-CAD and proposed new routine which are still awaiting review by mentors.

| |
− | Post Mid-term evaluations, I studied the various primitives trying to figure out how to implement the pull_leaf() routine for each primitive which was later disproved by Sean as a bad design choice which led to my implementing of the pull_leaf() using the AABB's of primitives which enabled me to pull translation components successfully. I also developed the pull interface, wrote regression tests, created the man pages and other documentation which will integrate command fully into BRL-CAD.
| |
− |
| |
− | During Final Days and Post-GSoC I plan to finish implementing the pull_leaf routine which pulls both the scale and rotation components of primitives for BRL-CAD completing the pull routine and any other new projects as needed.

| |
− | This was one of the most exciting summers of my life.

− | Started looking at the BRL-CAD documentation spreadsheet posted by Harmanpreet and summarising all documents on the list. Requested for the script from Harmanpreet that automates the summary of the documents.

| |
− | @Will finish summarising documents tomorrow; since I have to prepare for some of my exams coming up from tomorrow.
