BRL-CAD Alternative GUI 8.5: Add a Window for the Log Output

As result of previous BRL-CAD Alternative GUI tasks a reference version of an alternative BRL-CAD GUI was created and submitted to the rt^3 branch of the BRL-CAD subversion repository. This task is about improving QtGUI.

As a prerequisite for this task you should have fulfilled the following steps:

  • Compile and install BRL-CAD
  • Download the rt^3 source tree (see https://brlcad.org/wiki/SVN)
  • Set up the build environment by using the top level CMakeLists.txt file
  • Build the QtGUI target
  • Run the QtGUI program and test it

BRL-CAD's core C++ interface brings a functionality to catch BRL-CAD log messages. For this task, add a window for displaying these messages.

When you are done, please submit

  • A patch file with your changes to the source code and
  • A screen shot of the QtGUI program window

Task tags

  • qt
  • c++
