Layout MGED Interface Reference DocumentBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete:
72 hrs
Mentors: Sean, Harmanpreet Singh
BRL-CAD's primary geometry editor is called MGED. MGED's documentation is extensive but incomplete without a concise one page document that details MGED's interface.
This task involves taking the content gathered in a previous GCI task and making it all fit neatly on just one page. It'll give a brief descriptive overview of the key bindings, mouse bindings, and primary GUI elements. It should include a screenshot/image that includes the command window, graphics window, raytrace control panel, combination editor, and geometry tree view. It should incorporate the known key/mouse bindings.

Shayantan,
Did you look at the provided references? I think you may be completely miunderstanding this task. The task is not to make a screenshot -- even if it were, this would be a terrible screenshot. :) The task is to document the interface like in the various examples.
If you need more time, that's fine but be sure you understand the task before proceeding.

Deep, that's good progress and excellent content. The layout could use some more work, though. Some critiques to address:
Like I said, the content is great and probably sufficient. The layout, however, is severely lacking all around and needs to be polished. If you see things that inconsistent, you should fix them (I certainly see them all and more that I haven't mentioned).

Deep,
That's looking better but there are still several problems:
There are more issues, but that's a list to get started with. If you see something that can be improved, be assurred that I see it too and it needs to be fixed if we're going to use your document (and we DO want to use it!)...
The biggest issue so far is the consistency, capitalization, and padding problems. Fix those, and we can consider the task complete with maybe a follow-on task to clean up the content itself. Either the layout needs to be perfect or the content needs to be perfect (or both). Right now, you have problems with both.

Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
Hi Deep,
Now the document look much better than your previous submissions. Adding mouse figure is good decision. We may need to add a follow on task to clean up the contents.
Anyway, thanks for your efforts. :)
