Week 09/05/2015 to 16/05/2015

As Sean mentioned in brlcad-devel Digest, Vol 607, Issue 1

  • Look in to myriad of examples in the src/util directory
  • Started a sample project which is capable of generating libdm window.

Week 16/05/2015 to 23/05/2015

  • Worked on STEP Viewer functionality
  • Downloaded the current version of the BRL-CAD code and build it
  • Studied the libdm library

Week 23/05/2015 to 30/05/2015

  • Start coding StepViewer
  • First task (as Sean has mentioned) Try to create a libdm window
  • Creation of the libdm window of type X and OGL failed.
  • Creation of the libdm window type of null and text succeeded.
  • Found that libdm is hard to work with
  • No Proper Documentation for the libdm library

  • Refereed on OpenGL
  • Created a separate OpenGL Window
