- I am trying to understand how things are happening in BRL-CAD. Things aren't very easily understandable. So I am doing things like breaking and studying the function call stack to understand what happens underneath. I need to do this because I believe I should implement displaying of geometry first since the existing thing in RT^3 project (ray tracing) is not sufficient even for development.
- Now understand how different DMs display Vlists using OpenGL or Window system methods.
- I'm studying Vlist creation.
June 1
- Vlist obtained for a single solid in RT^3 project
June 2
- Added QOpenGLWidget to the application. Line creation is not straight-forward like in the earlier OpenGL version which existing OpenGL DMs use in BRL-CAD. glBegin and glEnd are have been deprecated and now removed. Studying the new method.
- Added the deprecated component QGLWidget instead of QOpenGLWidget since the later doesn't support the methods used in BRL-CAD.
