== ''' Project Report : Check Command and Overlaps Tool ''' ==
The work done for the project can be split into the following parts:
=== libanalyze function -- analyze_overlaps and libged command -- check_overlaps ===
  NOTE: This was later replaced with better code by me ;)
* The main goal behind adding a check_overlaps command was that libged's rtcheck command acted as a wrapper for the rtcheck program, and ran the rtcheck program with execvp command -- this was not desired as the execution was done in a different process.
* I added the check_overlaps command which had the same options as rtcheck command and the logic behind shooting of rays was done in libanalyze.
* The overlaps were processed on libged side with callback functions.
* The submitted patches were committed by Daniel --

* I was given commit access to the repo :) and I did the following commits:
** [https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/71063/ r71063] [https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/71065/ r71065] [https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/71066/ r71066] [https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/71067/ r71067]
* Documentation work related to check_overlaps -- [https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/497/ #497]

=== rtcheck based on libanalyze's analyze_overlaps function ===
  NOTE: This was later replaced with better code by me ;)
* Since the logic for shooting the rays was in libanalyze function analyze_overlaps.
* My next task was to refactor rtcheck program to use analyze_overlaps.
* [https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/495/ #495] was submitted.

=== libanalyze function for grid generation ===

=== overlaps tool based on check.sh ===

=== better object selection for overlaps tool ===

=== new libanalyze API and check command that uses this API ===
