• 1 June: I created a pull request to remove QPushButton and add QToolButton so that the QAction objects for file, view, and ray trace can be used as one single unit. And I mentioned this pull request with an issue

May

• 30 May: Discussed with mentor for what to choose between QToolButton and QPushButton. Also I got to know that QAction can be assigned to QToolButton which will be better because once object of QAction is created then we can assign it to QToolButton.
• 29 May: Started working on the issue where I saw QAction and QPushButton have been defined for the same New and similarly I found more like that.
• 28 May: Done nothing as I couldn't get time because I went to see my father.
• 27 May:
  • Learnt about arbalest QMainWindow but only by far, I covered Menu bar. I found all the QAction * buttons are missing icons but code was already written to set icons for each QPushButton *. So I opened an issue. I will work on it tomorrow.
  • I also created a pull request for minor changes to main.cpp of arbalest.
  • I will cover Central Widget of arbalest which is the most important of this project because this is the area where the mouse support feature will be added. I will try to cover it from tomorrow during this community bonding period. Here an outline is taken from Qt docs of QMainWindow just for reference:
    
• 26 May
  • Created workspace where I built brlcad and rt-cubed. Set path for Qt 5.14.2 so that arbalest could be run to check if it is running without errors.
