Contents
Before Bonding Period[edit]
- Create a Simple Qt Ui for a CAD software (no functionalities)
- Built from sources and run
- Learnt some Tcl/Tk
- Studied a CoreInterfaces
- Studied and made modifications to RT^3 Qt project
Bonding Period[edit]
May 21[edit]
- Completed the Checklist https://brlcad.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code/Checklist
Coding Period[edit]
May 27 - May 31[edit]
- 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[edit]
- Vlist obtained for a single solid in RT^3 project
June 2[edit]
- 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 in QOpenGLWidget. Studying the new method.
- Added the deprecated component QGLWidget instead of QOpenGLWidget since the later doesn't support the methods used in BRL-CAD.
- Studied OpenGL API
June 3[edit]
- Implemented displaying an object on the QGLWidget using wireframes
June 4[edit]
- Experimented with some keyboard controls to move around in the scene
June 5[edit]
- Abandoning ft_plot, need to implement Facetize.
- Obtained NonManifoldGeometrys for a db.
June 6[edit]
- Working on trying to use Facetize for DM.
June 8-14[edit]
- No implementations, following qt tutorials.
June 15[edit]
- Laptop broke
- I learnt some AutoCAD during the days my laptop wasn't working.
June 23[edit]
- Started a new project QtNewGUI rather than doing the QtGUI as per Daniel's suggestion.
- Started creating toolbox. (still can't work in my laptop well)
June 24[edit]
- Got laptop repaired.
- Added GraphicsViewOpenGL and placed it as the central widget.
June 25[edit]
- Opening DB, displaying geometry names in Objects list.
- Tried to configure BRL-CAD for windows (either of VS or Clion) failed.
June 26[edit]
- Geometry is displayed in QtNewGUI graphics screen now.
- Tried to configure BRL-CAD for windows (either of VS or Clion) failed.
June 27[edit]
- Saving database to a file.
- Tried to configure BRL-CAD for windows (either of VS or Clion) failed.
