* What to do
Step 1: clone this project via the following command
git clone https://github.com/jmlien/cshape.git
Step 2: Read your assigment document. Go to folder cshape\assignment and type make
or use your faovrite latex editor to compile shape-assignment.tex; It should produce
a pdf file. Read the pdf file carefully.
Step 3: Compile the code in cshape\code; on windows, visual studio solution file
is provided. The executable will be created in cshape\bin; for unix-like platforms,
please use the provided makefile. See "To compile" below.
Step 4: Finish your assignment. This readme file and shape-assignment.pdf (that you
created in Step 1) should help you get started.
===============================================================================
* To compile:
Just type make
If you want openGL display and are using linux,
make sure that freeglut is installed
http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/
If you don't care about 3-d rendering,
change "OPENGL_ON := 1" to "OPENGL_ON := 0" in the Makefile
===============================================================================
* To run:
Type "shape" to see all the options
A typical run will be something like this:
shape i.cube # this creates the convex hull of the shape
shape -delaunay i.cube # you will implement this
shape -crust i.cube # you will implement this
shape -alpha 3 i.cube # you will implement this
There are several input files in data/ subdirectory.
===============================================================================
* before you start coding:
read shape.h/c and macros.h
read main.c, in particular the part that uses qhull to compute the convex hull
===============================================================================
Let me know if there are problems.
