Gsoc 2008 for 2geom: towards making up a proposal
As already stated in previous mails the goal of my application is to implement 2geom or lpe features. After having browsed a lot of 2geom source code I started implementing a proof of concept version of SVGEllipticalArc, the result of my effort is attached at this mail (see svg_elliptical_arc.cpp). In order to get it compiled you have to put the file under the toy folder and add the file name into the list of source file in CMakeList.txt. The file provides a EllipticalArc class and a toy class for test it. (Please feedback!)
I have always to write down a complete proposal but here are some ideas (any critique or suggestion is welcome) :
(1) give my help in the integration task (2) make elliptical arc a first citizen in 2geom library
I'd like also to implement basic shape support ( regular poligon, circle, ellipse, ..) and routines to support classical geometric construction methods (circonference by 3 point, circonference by 2 point and tangent to a given line, ...). Anyway I saw Maximilian Albert's mail and I'm not sure if this last point may overlap with his proposal or as I hope it could provide a basis for his project.
Moreover I'm trying to complete my proposal with some other algorithm to be implemented so if you have something in mind I'd like to hear it.
Kind Regards, Marco Cecchetti
PS: are there mentors avaible for my project ?

Fantastic.
PS: are there mentors avaible for my project ?
We will do our best to find you a mentor, even if no one is jumping forward right now. Johan would be able to speak about this from experience, but I think you will find plenty of community mentoring in addition to a specific mentor being assigned to you for GSoC. Don't worry about finding a mentor. Brainstorm with some of the other SoC applicants and see if you can find a way to differentiate your 2geom related proposal.
