I did not use a framework. Rather I had used OpenGL library and Win32 APIs,
and developed the project from scratch.
I would familiarize myself with subversion.
And regarding my interests, you correctly pointed out, GUI (Qt) and
annotations are the most appropriate to my experience. But I am also open
towards Geometry Conversion, as it reflects the use of theory from a course
which I had taken (computer Graphics and Product modeling).
How should I proceed in order to finalize the topic for the proposal? My
priority sequence is 1) Geometry conversion, 2) Annotations, 3) GUI (Qt).
I have already downloaded the software, and I am getting myself
familiarized to the interface.
