[brlcad-devel] [Developers] RE: Getting Started

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

The following forum message was posted by brlcad at http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/forums/forum/362511/topic/4075794:

There is quite a lot of documentation.  I'd suggest starting with the README
and INSTALL files, naturally, and the following up with the doc/README.Windows
and HACKING files.  They are all available in a source distribution.

Source code relevant to your goal:

src/conv/dxf
    Current dxf importer and exporter.
src/librt and include/raytrace.h
    Our main LIBRT ray trace library including support for reading/writing .g
files and processing geometry in memory
src/libdm
    Display manager code that displays geometry for various BRL-CAD tools (e.g.,
mged).
src/libged
   A library that provides hundreds of geometry editing/processing commands
to calling applications via C.
src/mged
   The main source code for our main editing GUI.

Cheers!
