New repository for Inspector: https://github.com/Open-Cascade-SAS/Inspector
Documentation and all build process are fully migrated.
"tools" folder keep to share information for some time.
Keep building inspector as before to keep control of API changes via GitHub actions.
Added Qt sample OCCTOverview providing examples of use of OCCT API with relevant code and demonstration of results in the viewer.
Off-topic: some unused images are removed from dox/introduction/images/
Revision of User Guides
- Changes in User Guides Section to correspond with OCCT Overview structure: Mesh became a direct subsection of User Guides (it was a part of Modeling Algorithms).
TObj is included into OCAF.
- Changes in User Guides – Modeling Algorithms section: Fillets and Chamfers, Offsets, Drafts, Pipes and Evolved shapes, Sewing, Features, 3D Model Defeaturing, 3D Model Periodicity,
Object Modification are moved into The Topology API section.
- Changes in User Guides – Modeling Data section: Naming shapes, sub-shapes, their orientation and state section is renamed to Shape content. Shape Location is moved into Shape content section.
Storage of Shapes is moved into BRep Format section of Specification. Lists and Maps of Shapes subsection is moved into Topology - Exploration of Topological Data Structures.
- Some pictures in User Guides (Foundation Classes, Modeling Data, Modeling Algorithms) and Tutorial are updated to improve quality and correct mistakes.
Revision of Introduction, Overview, Samples, Tutorial
- Technical Overview is incorporated into Introduction
- Samples (from Overview) and Tutorial are moved into new section Tutorials and Samples
- Content of Getting Started section (Draw Test Harness and Experimenting with Draw Test Harness) is moved into Tutorial and Samples section.
- Content changes: links to Open Cascade website promoting paid training and support are deleted.
- Some pictures in User Guides (Foundation Classes, Modeling Data, Modeling Algorithms) and Tutorial are updated to improve quality and correct mistakes.
Move debug and upgrade user guides to corresponding folders on upper level
Related: remove "debug" pattern from .gitignore to avoid ignoring relevant folder in dox
Handled __EMSCRIPTEN__ macros to:
- Workaround atomics (__GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4 is undefined, but GCC atomics are provided).
- Suppress non-standard header <sys/signal.h> warning.
- Return OSD_LinuxREDHAT.
- Avoid inclusion of XLib headers.
- Skip fontconfig library.
- Enable EGL+GLES path (translated by Emscripten into WebGL).
- Skip eglCreatePbufferSurface() not implemented by Emscripten EGL.
Fixed Graphic3d_Vec4.hxx usage within Quantity_ColorRGBA.hxx.
OpenGl_ShaderManager::defaultGlslVersion() now prefers GLSL 300 es when WebGL 2.0 is available,
as there no any OpenGL ES greater than 3.0 emulation so far.
Shaders_Declarations.glsl - added workaround for GLSL compilation on WebGL 1.0
by defining Light properties accessors as macros instead of functions
('[]' : Index expression must be constant).
OpenGl_FrameBuffer::Init() - added workaround for initialization of GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8
depth-stencil attachment on WebGL 1.0 + GL_WEBGL_depth_texture extension.
OpenGl_Context::Vec4FromQuantityColor() now considers myIsSRgbActive flag
to handle use case, when Immediate Layer is drawn directly into window buffer,
which is not sRGB-ready.
Added new sample - OCCT WebGL viewer.
Documentation is added in a new "Inspector" page of "User Guides".
Inspector plugins has some improvements by the documentation needs.
New DRAW scripts are implemented for 'tinspector' command.
- Copyright year is updated
- Links to 3rd-party libraries and their licenses are actualized
- Description and snapshot of iOS sample added
- Visual Studio 2017 is mentioned among supported compilers
Description of building OCCT with WOK and automake scripts is removed from documentation.
Use of genproj utility is described in pages on building with MSVC, Code::Blocks, and XCode projects.
New script genconf allows starting configuration GUI explicitly; dialog is slightly revised.
Script genproj.sh is renamed to genproj; permissions for scripts are corrected for Linux.
Script env.bat does not set anymore environment required for Products.
The text of white papers has been rearranged as follows:
OCAF white paper:
Purpose of OCAF
Overview of the architecture
A look inside OCAF
- merged with the Introduction chapter
Getting Started
An example of OCAF usage
- added in Samples chapter
The Data Framework
- merged with Data Framework Services chapter
Persistent Data Storage
- added as a separate chapter
OCAF function mechanism white paper:
- added as a separate Example of Function Mechanism Usage chapter
Distribution of data through OCAF tree white paper:
- added as "The choice between standard and custom attributes" paragraph in Standard Attributes chapter.
A new script adm/upgrade.tcl defines a Tcl procedure occt_upgrade, to be used for upgrading code of OCCT and applications for changes introduced by OCCT 7.0.
Batch script upgrade.bat is provided for convenience.
File upgrade.dat contains data (lists of classes) required for some upgrade steps.
Details on upgrade procedure are put in dox/dev_guides/upgrade/upgrade.md.
OCCT code corrected to improve compatibility with code based on previous versions of OCCT:
- Added conversion operator of handle to bool, for use in conditional expressions.
- Forward declaration of argument class restored in macro DEFINE_STANDARD_HANDLE.
- Includes of used classes added in some headers to avoid problem of missing includes in dependent code
- Type cast operators to base curve and surface added in GC and GCE2d classes to reduce porting issues.
Added test for local reference to handle initialized by temporary handle to derived class.
WOK and CDL User Guides removed.
First version of upgrade manual (new developer guide) added, describing methods that can be used to convert data files written with old persistence, to formats supported by OCCT 7.0
Redesign of Visualisation user guide's structure with some changes in the guide.
Update Draw_test_harness user guide. Added dimension commands to DRAW test harness.
Update of prerequisites and building 3rd party tools sections
Move VIS draw tests to Draw Test Harness section.
Additionally, fix bugs 24117 and 25353.
Correct output of new imaged in PDF in modeling algos guide and errors introduced by bug 24699 in the overview.
Add new C# sample which allow to render the OCCT scene to a Direct3D context in a WPF application.
DirectX SDK is required in order to build this sample.
user sees just dirs of libs, shared libs and headers of 3rdparty products
documentation updated
3rdparty search priority was fixed: 1. user paths; 2. system paths
3rdparty debug usage fixed
vtk search introduced
occt information, generated by wok, was divided onto two files: occt_toolkits.cmake and occt_inc_toolkits.cmake
additional behavior of cmake search for freetype 2.5.1 and above
CMake (version < 3.0) don't know about new place of config/ftheader.h in freetype 2.5.1. There are cases when cmake seeks config/ftheader.h in defined place (3RDPARTY_FREETYPE_DIR variable), doesn't find it and start new search in system places. If system has own freetype header- cmake will find it and 3RDPARTY_FREETYPE* variables will point to different places. This situation is avoided
tcl, freetype, vtk are checked before usage of it (CSF variables usage)
tbb search mechanism was refactored
freetype search is processed by default cmake mechanism
tcl search is processed by default cmake mechanism
3rdparty macro seeks debug libraries (and release if debug ones aren't found); 3rdparty dll is sought in win case only
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY preferred to SUBDIRS
gendoc.bat search for tclsh.exe in user's system
0025141: CMake / MinGW: link recipe fails due to long command
0025146: Porting to Android
OCCT documentation updated. "Building with CMake and ADT for Android" article added
[CMAKE] custom.sh.in uses library variables instead unused dll ones.
-DDEBUG remove from CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG and CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG
hide unused 3rdparty in android case
also messages of freetype search mechanism slightly updated
Command gendoc improved to:
- generate Reference Manual documentation (OCCT classes reference) with option -refman; option -overview can be used for generation of overview documentation;
- generate PDF documents for all User Guides automatically (for files listed in FILES_PDF.txt);
- check availability of third-party tools (Doxygen, Inkscape etc.) and properly report warnings and errors.
- use templates of configuration files for third-party tools instead of their generation. These template files are located in dox/resources folder
Tcl scripts are moved from dox folder to adm.
Doxygen warnings are eliminated.
Moved all auxilary functions to occaux.tcl.
Fixed Reference manual generation on *nix platform.
Fixed PDF generation on *nix platforms.
