Project Title
Python Geometry : Python Bindings for BRL-CAD Geometry
Brief summary of Project
This project aims to wrap BRL-CAD's primitives in python. BRL-CAD in python is an ongoing effort to wrap BRL-CAD functionality in python [1]. Further this project aims at completing the primitives wrapping. With each wrap tests and examples will be added to ensure agility and efficiency.
Detailed project description
Sample Codes and Tools
I have already wrapped vol primitive in python. This has been merged by Csaba in his repository. Details can be found at [2].
Deliverable
Importance of the Project
.
Time availability
Coding period GSOC time line falls in my holidays. My University exams finishes on 15th May 2014 and my joining date at Sapient Nitro (the software company where I have been recruited) will fall in mid- September or October. Thus I will be free completely. I can spend 5-6 hours a day on this project.
Development schedule
My preparation for the Project
- My preparation for this project began by looking at the development – logs of previous students..
- Further I contacted few of them (Kesha and Mohit from GSOC 2013) who gave insights on choosing a project.
- Later I introduced myself on the list and asked for help regarding projects
- Then I asked for some work on python repository. Csaba (javampire on #IRC) helped me with that.
- I got hold of the CVS system used by python-brlcad (git) and brlcad (svn) main repository, installed working environment (Pycharm)
- I successfully submitted a pull request (with VOL primitive) which was merged in the repository. [2]
Why BRL-CAD?
BRL-CAD as an organization has well documented procedures. It has a defined structure for GSOC students. I tried with other organizations but found BRL-CAD as more welcoming for students with intermediate skills.
