Abstract:
Recently the "2D Arrangement" package of CGAL has been enhanced with the support of 2D arrangement of geodesic arcs embedded on the sphere. Demonstrating such an arrangement graphically requires rendering in three dimensions, a.k.a. 3D graphics.
Implementation Plan:
The project will proceed in 2 main-stages. The output of the second stage will be a stand-alone program with its source code and the corresponding documentation.
First stage: Examining the 2D arrangements & 3D polyhedron demos and also Efi Fogel’s initial implementation which has its own set of dependencies.
Second stage: Implementation of the 3D arrangements on the sphere program. Here, I will incrementally port Efi Fogel’s program to a stand-alone program that solely depends on CGAL and QT5.
