ToDo

• [ ] recenter geometry before processing
• [ ] ctypes floating number conversion, currently precision is lost
• [ ] ctypes user tolerance

Examples

• [x] "tests/compas_wood_1_test.py" - test if the library is loading
• [x] "tests/compas_wood_2_read_xml.py" - get data-set a set of polylines and display in viewer
• [x] "tests/compas_wood_3_joints.py" - get connection-areas between timber plates
• [x] "tests/compas_wood_4_rtree.py" - get neighbors of an element
• [x] "tests/compas_wood_5_get_connection_zones.py" - generate timber joints
• [x] "tests/compas_wood_6_closed_mesh_from_polylines.py" - create a solid mesh from polylines with holes
• [x] "tests/compas_wood_7_mooc_homework.py" - create a special connection of the Vidy project
