[Lib2geom-devel] Getting Started

[Sunburned S. <sun...@gm...>]

Guys,

I was able to donwload the daily snapshot of the SVN for lib2Geom. I printed
out the code for the Rect class and the Quadtree class so that I can review
them later. I was hoping you guys might be able to help me with a few
questions I came up when I cracked my C++ book and started to think about my
first lib2geom programming task.

[1] Should I be using the Inkscape codeing standards for my work on
lib2geom?
[2] I was going to use Anjuta as my IDE. Are there any comments on this?
[3] I can now see that a "pointer" and a "reference" are two totally
different things in C++, although they have there similarities. Which should
I use when creating a reference to an object? It seems like pointers are
more powerful...
[4] Is there a standard set of classes that I can use in lib2geom for things
like strings and object collections?

Thanks,

Scott Huey
