Kalpit(and any other student interested in this) : if you have any
questions regarding the
previous work that I've done, feel free to ask them on this thread and
I'll answer to the best
of my knowledge
> You should have a look at the past efforts related to the C++ interface:
> - Andrei Popescu's open patches at BRL-CAD's SourceForge site.
> - Andrei's development log from his last year's GSoC project:
> http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Popescu.andrei1991/devlogs2014
> - Related GCi tasks:
> http://www.google-melange.com/gci/org/google/gci2014/brlcad
> The most important references for the current status of the C++ API
> are described in the wiki:
> http://brlcad.org/wiki/Object-oriented_interfaces
>
> What is needed is a concept on how to go on.
