• dissertation work

Wednesday, June 3, 2015

• dissertation defense @ 12:45-2pm PDT

Thursday, June 4, 2015

• added callable nmg_mrsv stub, see: https://github.com/behollis/brlcad-svn-rev65072-gsoc2015/commit/ff812753027d4119a590d9d0096f9dbb279163b0
• successfully defended PhD dissertation yesterday
• minor additions / editing / proof-reading of dissertation before ProQuest submittal deadline of June 11th
• todo: add remaining CONSTRUCTION routine stubs
• todo: determine how to pass nmg model verts, etc. from command line (mged) to function stubs

Friday, June 5, 2015

• received a few pointers on NMG, and a document link in weekly mtg
• dissertation editing

Saturday, June 6, 2015

• dissertation editing

Sunday, June 7, 2015

• dissertation editing

Monday, June 8, 2015: Start of Week 3 (of 14)

• commit #1 for today: added remaining NMG construction command stubs
• commit #2 for today: nmg_mrsv command now accepts a model file name and checks the database; removed nmg_mm since make cmd covers that functionality
• commit #3 for today: fixed format spacing for nmg_mrsv.c

Tuesday, June 9, 2015

• final dissertation edits
• submitted final dissertation to ProQuest
• delivered signatures, etc. for degree
• took online surveys for degree
• note #1: (todo) need to talk to mentors about cmd line interface; some construction routines in "Combinatorial Solid Geometry, Boundary Representations, and Non-Manifold Geometry," are likely too low-level. for instance, does it make sense to specify 'vertexuse' / 'edgeuse' at the cmd line?? possibly only routines that require user specified *new* vertices and edges will be implemented... also, we may not want to implement some of the api functions that only create empty shells / regions for new models. models can already be created using the cmd make.
• note #2: construction routines don't require passing particular instances of existing geometry. this makes their impl likely easier than destruction routines in terms of specifying geometry at the CLI.

Wednesday, June 10, 2015

• commit #1 for today: added call to internal api for "Make Region, Shell, Vertex"
• tried various testing with creating nmg geometry, but was not fully able to create nmg test cases with primitives. need to retry using "facetize" command again or another route
• need to determine if we need a higher-level CLI than internal NMG access API functions; some of this is already implemented in nmg_simplify, nmg_fix_normals, make, etc.

Friday, June 12, 2015

• need to attend graduation ceremonies practice for a few hours

Sunday, June 14, 2015

• graduation ceremonies attendance (most of the day)
