[rohitvarkey]

This is just a rough idea of what all should be present in Compose3D and what all has been done to help me understand which features I should focus on now. Been kind of stuck for the last week.

Geometry Primitives

• [x] Cubes
• [x] Cuboids
• [x] Spheres
• [x] Pyramids
• [x] Tori
• [x] Cylinders
• [ ] Parametric Surfaces
  • [x] Functions
  • [ ] Matrices
• [ ] Planes
• [ ] Polyhedrons

Materials and Properties

• [x] Mesh Colors (Rename to Surface Color?)
• [x] Wireframes - This draws all triangles being drawn by the GPU.
• [x] Edge Wireframes - Wireframe of only hard edges (ThreeJS implementation added. Can't be used for mesh plots though.)
• [x] Visibility
• [x] Lambert Materials
• [x] Basic Materials
• [x] Phong Materials
• [x] Normal Materials
• [ ] Vertex Colors
• [x] Mesh plot wireframe (Implemented not as a material.)

Lights

• [x] Spot Lights
• [x] Point Lights
• [x] Ambient Lights

Camera

• [x] Perspective Camera
• [ ] Modifiable look at -> Currently defaults to origin.

Defaults

• [ ] Good default camera and lights.
• [ ] default Context dimensions

General Features

• [ ] Transforms

Integration with Compose

• [x] Switch to Measures.jl
  • ~~Waiting for this PR to get merged.~~
• [x] Rewrite Patchwork backend to use new drawpart function.

IJulia integration

• [ ] Clarify where to copy the asset files to. See https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/issues/339, https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/320
• [x] Write a writemime for signals in Patchable3D

Escher integration

• [x] Switch to Polymer 1.0

Performance

• [x] Improve parametric update performance.

Documentation

@shashi @SimonDanisch anything you would like to add?

[SimonDanisch]

Using Compose3D in JuliaBox just hangs. Can you add a few more examples plus screenshots/screencasts!?
