This project involves implementing a new cross-platform display manager for BRL-CAD's LIBDM display manager library using an API toolkit such as OGRE or Qt that abstract platform-specific implementation detail. | This project involves implementing a new cross-platform display manager for BRL-CAD's LIBDM display manager library using an API toolkit such as OGRE or Qt that abstract platform-specific implementation detail. | ||

A good proposal for this task would demonstrate a good understanding of what approaches would be taken to embed OGRE or Qt into Tk and what functionality would be utilized to perform wireframe drawing, text drawing, etc. | A good proposal for this task would demonstrate a good understanding of what approaches would be taken to embed OGRE or Qt into Tk and what functionality would be utilized to perform wireframe drawing, text drawing, etc. | ||

** Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework of interest for new GUI development work in BRL-CAD. It similarly has support for creating OpenGL-based display contexts that could serve as the implementation detail for a new display manager. Qt has the added benefit of being able to use drawing canvases not reliant upon OpenGL or hardware acceleration. | ** Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework of interest for new GUI development work in BRL-CAD.
