Changes requested by AF on 06/12/2009:
* Point_set_processing_3:
- Fixed description of grid_simplify_point_set()
- Fixed description of read_xyz_points(), write_xyz_points(), read_off_points(), write_off_points()
- Added grid_simplify_example.cpp. It replaces random_simplify_example.cpp in Point_set_processing_3 User Manual.
* Surface_reconstruction_points_3:
- Small fixes in the User Manual.
* Improvements in C++ code:
- erase_small_connected_components() is renamed keep_largest_connected_components() and takes as new parameter the number of large components to keep.
- get_polyhedron_connected_components() writes the list of components found in an output iterator.
* Improvements in the User Manuals:
- Removed page number in links.
- New images for grid simplification and normal orientation (hopefully clearer).
- Added citation of OFF file format.
* Improvements in the Reference Manuals:
- Removed output_surface_facets_to_triangle_soup() (obsolete).
- Removed get_polyhedron_connected_components() from documentation.
- Set manually the classes/structs/concepts marging to get a pretty alignment of types, constructors and methods.
* Automatic documentation improvements by generate_reference_manual 1.3:
- Reduced left margin of free functions description.
- Fixed bug: fixed vertical alignment in methods/functions description.
- Fixed bug: does not remove anymore EOLs in methods/functions description.
- Fixed bug #7515: removed "[protected]", "[static]" and "[virtual]" comments.
* The code matches the documentation and uses the new API with property maps:
- The code uses the new API with property maps.
- The test suites work.
- The MFC and Qt demos work.
- Copied Pierre's comments in Reference Manual to C++ comments.
* Renaming:
- merge_simplify_point_set -> grid_simplify_point_set.
- read_xyz_point_set split() as read_xyz_points() + read_xyz_points_and_normals().
* Gyroviz stuff:
- merge_simplify_nearest_point_set renamed as grid_simplify_nearest_point_set and moved to Poisson demo (as it is limited to Gyroviz_point_3 points).
- The code in Point_set_processing_3 uses the new API with property maps.
* extend the documentation
* update the APSS demo plugin to use property map
* change the k parameter to a more generic "smoothness" value
* add an optional RadiusPMap in the ctor
* minor changes in APSS's internal mechanism
Simplified the API:
- removed OrientableNormal_3, PointWithOrientableNormal_3, ReconstructionTriangulation_3, ReconstructionVertexBase_3 concepts.
- classes Orientable_normal_3, Reconstruction_triangulation_3 abd Reconstruction_vertex_base_3 are not documented anymore.
- For free functions provided with 2 variants mutable/non mutable, removed the non mutable one.
TODO:
- remove Orientable_normal_3 class.
- modify mst_orient_normals() to return an iterator over the first non oriented normal.
- fix Poisson MFC demo which does not compile anymore.
Removed obsolete code and simplified the API of:
- Poisson_reconstruction_function
- ReconstructionTriangulation_3 and Reconstruction_triangulation_3
- APSS_reconstruction_function
* Moved Lightweight_vector_3 from Point_set_processing_3 to Surface_reconstruction_points_3. It is now undocumented.
* Point_set_processing_3 User Manual does not have a structure of "pipeline" anymore.
* New introduction figures for Surface_reconstruction_points_3 and Point_set_processing_3.
* Deleted poisson.jpg/eps in Surface_reconstruction_points_3.
* INPUT and STEINER constants are now an enum.
* Removed obsolete code:
- mst_normal_orientation(max_angle)
* PointWithNormal_3::set_position() renamed as position().
* Fixed misspellings.
* and many other improvements to the documentation (and C++ comments).
* Move/rename files and folders.
* Rename point set IO functions.
Status:
* Both packages compile on Unix/g++ 4.1.2. The test suite is OK.
* The documentation compiles for both packages.
TODO:
* Update the documentation and package_info
* Update Groviz
* Delete Surface_reconstruction_3
