Daniel and Clifford,
Hi, thanks sincerely for your kindness and suggestions.
I have read raytrace.h, nmg.h, given email list and some other info. Are we
almostly sure that
model and nmgregion are exactly useless and should be removed? And If I do so,
how about the
places (I don't know how much exactly) using them. All such places should be
done the
corresponding modification...or maybe I needn't concern about this thing now?
Another question is that I find raytrace.h has more than 8000-line
codes(roughly, including
comments). Dozens of structs, hundreds of macro and function defines are mixed
in this single
header file. I understand the parts involving NMG should be moved out and just
leave the ones
about RayTracing. But I think seperating them into serveral header files
reasonably maybe
better than one. If someone think it's too tedious to include 'so many'
headers, we can provide
an extra header file just including all the others and users just need to use
this one alone.
And, can I consider these two tasks as the first and second step of 'Mesh
Library Cleanup' project respectly?
B.R.
