Description ---------- occmodel is a small library which gives a high level access to the OpenCASCADE modelling kernel. For most users a direct use of the OpenCASCADE modelling kernel can be quite a hurdle as it is a huge library. The geometry can be visualized with the included viewer. This viewer is utilizing modern OpenGL methods like GLSL shaders and vertex buffers to ensure visual quality and maximum speed. To use the viewer OpenGL version 2.1 is needed. Home page : http://github.com/tenko/occmodel Documentation : http://tenko.github.com/occmodel/index.html In addition the following related libraries are released: geotools (required) : http://github.com/tenko/geotools Documentation : http://tenko.github.com/geotools/index.html gltools (optional) : http://github.com/tenko/gltools Documentation : http://tenko.github.com/gltools/index.html As this is the first official release some hurdles are expected Binary installers are available for the Windows platform.
