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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
