is then available to the plugin) -- for Koen

- moved GUI to FlGui + added experimental QGui to test Qt

- fixed most MSVC and gcc compiler warnings

- converted some remaining tabs to whitespace (that's why the patch is
  so large; please try to remember to indent with 2 spaces and not
  tabs when you commit stuff to CVS)

- merged modified patch from Konstantinos Poulios to allow saving
  physical/partition as element tags in mesh formats that don't
  support them natively

- fix bb computation to avoid model jumping around when adding points in z=0 plane
- pass interpol matrices as ref

- separate setNode and tagNode in API

ported Warp, SphericalRaise and Eigenvalues plugins to the new post-pro API

- ported Gradient, Curl, Divergence, Integrate and Transform plugins
  to the new abstract post-pro API

- documented new post format

untabify

upgraded all plugins to work with the new post-pro.

This is done "cheaply" for now, by only using old-style list-based datasets.
Taking advantage of the abstraction (so that we can use the plugins on all
datasets) will require more work. The hooks for transparent data translation
are in place, but the actual translation has not been implemented yet.

prepare for post-pro changes by moving all post-pro stuff in separate directory

new gui for plugins (much better IMHO!)

more infrastructure for projection face gui

- new button under the graphic window to temporarily disable mouse
  selection (speeds-up redrawing of very large models + permits to
  rotate/zoom-in a model in selection mode even when the whole screen
  is full of selectable entities--e.g. a surface mesh)

- new "lasso" selection mode (to select entities using the same kind
  of lasso as the lasso zoom: just Ctrl+click, then drag the mouse in
  selection mode; the shortcuts are the same as for the lasso zoom)

- it is now possible to unselect entities using the middle mouse button
  (only for the creation of physicals at the moment; not sure if it's
  useful in the other cases)

- new button in visibility browser to invert the current selection
  (very useful e.g. when multiple physical entities are associated
  with a given elementary entity, in order to "peel" away the model
  when adding new physicals; cf. philou)

- changed meaning of Escape shortcut (cancel lasso or toggle mouse
  selection) + restore standard fltk Escape handling for all dialog
  windows

- updated copyright string

- new mesh label mode (coordinates); all label types are now also
  available for mesh vertices

- added option in 'Print Option' dialog to disable printing of help
  strings

- added a comment string with the date when creating a new file

- new snapping grid for adding points in the GUI

- removed all the crappy STL code and rewrote it using JF's POLY_rep
  class

- generalized POLY_rep so that we can use the polygonal discretization
  as a surface mesh, and mesh in 3D afterwards. I.e., we can now take
  an input triangulation (a single surface in STL format, multiple
  surfaces in STL format, one or more surfaces defined using the new
  "Discrete Surface" commands), and generate a 3D mesh that uses it. We
  could in theory even mix triangulated and "normal" surfaces in the
  same geometry, but nothing is done at the moment to ensure that the
  mesh at the interfaces would match (if it does, it actually works
  very nicely)

- new STL mesh output format to export a surface mesh as a STL file

- added an option to the GEO output routine to save the surface mesh
  as discrete surfaces associated with the geometrical surfaces

- added STL and Text output formats for post-processing views (the
  text output allows for example to exploit plugin-generated data in
  gnuplot)

- generalized Plugin(Evaluate):

  * can loop automatically over all the timestep and/or components

  * can do operations using data from an external view

     - if the 2 views are based on the same grid, the plugin does the
       evaluation very efficiently

     - if the 2 views are based on differenet grids, the plugin
       automatically interpolates the external view data onto the
       grid of the current view

- added new Rand() function in MathEval

- default colormap is now # 2 (the Matlab "Jet" colormap)

copyright update

This patch fixes an old design flaw in the post-processing module,
namely that we used a list of Post_View objects instead of a list of
pointers to Post_View objects in CTX.post.list.

This had many annoying consequences, in particular the fact that we
needed to be extra careful every time the list was reallocated (as
pointers to the list elements would become invalid).

I tried very hard to change the code everywhere it should be changed,
but I might have missed something. Please let me know if you see
anything suspicious (like a crash when you duplicate/remove/combine/...
post-processing views).

use homogenous coordinates so that we can apply translations, too.

- First draft (pretty much untested!) of new "Integrate" plugin to
  * integrate scalar fields over all the elements in a view
  * integrate the circulation of vector fields along line elements
  * integrate the flux of vector fields across surface elements

  Used with Plugin(DisplacementRaise) and Plugin(Evaluate) this
  permits for example to compute the area/volume of deformed
  configurations; and, with Plugin(CutPlane)+Plugin(Skin), the
  perimeter of deformed sections. Another interesting application is
  to use it on a vector field with Plugin(CutPlane), in order to
  compute fluxes across arbitrary cross-sections.

- Added "connectPoints" option to Plugin(CutParametric) so
  that we can feed its output to Plugin(Integrate)

- Added Normals and Tangents options to visualize the orientation of
  elements in post-processing views

- Added "swapOrientation" in Plugin(Transform) to change the
  orientation of the elements (in place) (+ moved the transformation
  routines from the view class into the plugin)

- fixed #defines in some of the plugin header files

secured most of the list_pointer accesses

Added automatic documentation generation for plugins

Update copyright notice

- new DecomposeInSimplex plugin
- new "Combine Views" command in the parser
- cleaned up View::tranform and View::smooth (+small bug fix for SLs)
- better check for transparency sorting
- make depend
- new View.AlphaChannel option to change the transparency
  globally for a given view (instead of having to change the colormap
  by hand every time)

With all the above, we can now generate very nice (and correct)
transparent iso-surfaces:

Merge "../tutorial/view3.pos";

minIso = 0;
maxIso = 2;
nbIso = 7;

Plugin(CutMap).iView = 0;

For i In {1:nbIso}
  Plugin(CutMap).A = (maxIso-minIso)/nbIso * i;
  Plugin(CutMap).Run;
EndFor

Delete View[0];
Combine Views;

For i In {1:nbIso}
  Delete View[0];
EndFor

Plugin(DecomposeInSimplex).iView = 0;
Plugin(DecomposeInSimplex).Run;

View[0].AlphaChannel = 0.6;

Say if the plugin is executed in-place or if it creates new views

Big Levelset rewrite (+ cleanup of all other plugins).

Not finished yet, but I need to commit this now so that I can use it
with the boss tomorrow at work.

This version should compile and have all the old features working,
plus some extras (levelsets of scalar/vector/tensor 1D, 2D and
3D simplectic views).

JF: 'Plugin(XX).Save' is now deprecated. Use 'Save View[XX] "filename"'
instead.

typo

Reworked the help strings for all the plugins. Easier to understand,
now, Sean? :-)
