Week 07 [16/11 to 22/11]

Work Of The Week

This week I didn't work so much because my laptop past out. It then takes time to buy a new one and ask for a computer in RGU facilities in order to work.

But I worked a little on OpenGl picking, just doing some researches. I also begin to adapt the interface to handle translation. The main work was on the creation of an Exception class that will display an error message.

Total worked: 3 hours.

Adding the translation
Not so much needed to be done, just few lines to modify the drawing matrix and few researches on Qt way of handling key pressed and released events.	Time worked: 1 h
Creation of Exception class
This was a little more longer than expected, and not fully finished (documentation need to be written). But I use it for the OBJ loading process, and it is almost ready for other tasks exceptions (a little code adaptation need to be done, instead of throwing 0 must throw an object).	Time worked: 2 h

Gantt State

No Gantt state this week, as no real evolution happen.

Information And References

Same as usual for the Qt documentation, and the following websites for the OpenGl picking:

• OpenGL tutorial about picking gives a good base knowledge about picking in OpenGl and some tricks to code it.
• C++ GUI Programming with Qt4: 3D Graphics gives a good code sample on how to do picking with OpenGl integrated in the Qt library.

Next Week prevision

Next week is the coursework week in the School of Computing, but I don't have too much courseworks yet. I will certainly continue the current tasks, that is code adaptation for new features. I should provide new interface widgets and actions soon.

• create a namespace structure to separate the code
• Add the latest features (camera window, selection window, settings, ...)
