Easy3D - Easy3D-v2.6.1

Changes

• enabled creation of Python wheels for the Python bindings of easy3d.
• deployed tutorials for Python bindings
• added support to MinGW on Windows.
• enhanced Viewer::set_usage(...) to customize manual (in console) and hints (on-screen).
• fixed several typos, bugs, and warnings.

Links to documentation and tutorials/examples: - Easy3D documentation - Easy3D Python documentation - Easy3D Python tutorials

For Linux users: - The appimage was not deployed on the oldest supported Linux distribution (i.e., Ubuntu Focal Fossa) and thus may not run properly on old Linux systems.

Easy3D - Easy3D-v2.6.0

Changes * added Python bindings, with tutorials and test (limited). - see Build and install Python bindings * added a new class LinesDrawable2D for drawing lines in the screen space. * allowed to enable/disable the clipping plane in the viewer (shortcut: Alt + C). * for surface mesh, use checkboard as the default texture if the model has texture coordinates. * made info_to_stdout a parameter in easy3d::initialize(). * made the Qt-related programs compatible with Qt6. * simplified API of VideoEncoder. * moved the Signal class from the core module to the util module. * fixed several typos, bugs, and warnings.

Pre-built binaries are not changed, so you can still use the previous version v2.5.4.

Easy3D - Easy3D-v2.5.4

Changes * added a simple application PictureMaker. It can be used to generate figures for visual comparison of models (useful for paper writing). * the layout of MultiViewer can now be changed dynamically. * vertex/face properties in the 'decompose' and 'merge' functions in Mapple are well preserved. * allows for the handling of colors in both [0, 255] and [0, 65535] for las and laz file formats. * consistent GLSL versions in shaders. * fixed various bugs and warnings.

Easy3D - Easy3D-v2.5.3

Changes * Added support to the MinGW compiler. * The OBJ format loader can handle per-vertex color attributes. * Added a few matrix algorithms (SVD, inverse, determinant, least squares solver). * Kd-trees can be created from an array of 3D points (not only PointCloud). * Added a function to compute the perpendicular feet of two 3D lines. * More robust face normal calculation for concave faces in SurfaceMesh. * Added algorithms for convex partition of polygons. * Added screen-constrained manipulation (rotation and translation). * Added Viewer::bind(...) and Viewer::set_usage(...) for easier executing user functions. * Fixed various bugs and warnings.

Easy3D - Easy3D-v2.5.2

Changes: * unified naming for classes, namespaces, and files * simplified initialization * changes in the names of a few files and namespaces (see the breaking changes below)

Breaking changes: * the file version.h/version.cpp and thus the following functions have been moved to the util module: * easy3d::version_major() * easy3d::version_minor() * easy3d::version_patch() * easy3d::version() * the following namespaces have been renamed: * buffers -> buffer * shapes -> shape * the following files have been renamed: * buffers.h/buffers.cpp -> buffer.h/buffer.cpp * shapes.h/shapes.cpp -> shape.h/shape.cpp * the following function has been moved to namespace easy3d::geom (see here): c++ bool intersect(const GenericPlane<FT> &plane1, const GenericPlane<FT> &plane2, const GenericPlane<FT> &plane3, typename GenericPlane<FT>::Point3 &point);
