Hei Christopher: You did exactly what I expected and I have now a good idea on your motivation and on what you want achieve. Good work!
now my first notes and questions: - I agree with you on that we should watch out for existing DT algorithms. (If Erwans team has finished its release, we may utilize their algorithm too.) - Does it actually matter to have a 2D versus a 3D Triangulation? Or do you intend to triangulate in 2D and use 'z' as an attribute? (The simplex insert algortitm from Paul Chew should be 2D?, I am not sure about Pirol's Triangulation algorithm) - When refering to H. Samet and Tin implementation you are talking about a table. Do you really mean a table or rather a list/collection (i.e an object oriented realization vs. a database realization)? (I don't have the book here) - you proposed implementation (classes and so on) sounds reasonable to me.. and yes.. it is important to stay modular and keep visualization and algorithms separated. - on the intermediate TIN file format based on ITF: We need to get sure not to miss other standards. But all the extensions you mentioned make sense to me. Most important would be to have a very good documentation.. so that others implement support for the format too. [btw.. it may be recommendable to ask Frank Warmerdam/the OSGEO list if he knows about something similar and/or send an email with your proposal to the java-collab list and ask for comments?] - is Java OpenGL for the visualization platform independent (i.e. would it run on MacOSX and Linux as well?) - on the Task-List: I agree with you that we need to accomplish Taks 1 and 2, and Tasks 3 and 4 as far as possible. All other stuff 5-8 is from my perspective optional, i.e. nice to have. Note, task 1.2 (Write a USGS "bil" file reader) is for me optional too. and my request: - Can you send me the original word document? I would then add a few more comments to this doc, and also make some suggestions with respect to the layout (so I we can use it for future GSofC reports) I have a good feeling for your work and progress!
