Feature request : Enhance Polyhedron_demo

[maxGimeno]

Issue Details

During last CGAL Developers Meeting (March 17), a list of ideas for enhancements have been created. They should be implemented.

Source Code

See the minutes.

• export statistics

• test if the polyhedron is manifold during the selection-edition

• add a widget specifying the current mode (selection, edition, ...)

• the constraint deformation plane should be filled and not transparent (edit_polyhedron_plugin) (waiting for transparency to be optimized)

• make youtube videos to demonstrate features

• Add tooltips and help pages to document the keybindings and how to use a complicated plugin

• Add shortcut sequences for each action : ctrl+first letter of the submenu, ctrl+shortcut letter.

• Add a research for actions in Operations

• [ ]Add a submenu for recent operations and a shortcut like F1 for opening and 0-5 to sleect, like the recent files.

• Put the camera orthogonal to the selected face or point selection (using PCA) (O+left click)

• add a cube/cylinder/sphere/tetrahedron generator and then be able to transform the results.

• (Note: there is a bug in the isotropic remeshing with protected edges that are too long.)

• When loading multiple files, assign a different color to each generated item (or/and add an option, when several items are selected, "Assign a different color to each item", or something like that)
  higher level perspectives

• Integrate all the 3D demos in the polyhedron_demo Polyhedron_demo: Unify the 3D demos #2038
  integration of T3 and P3T3 demos? potential problem with the "animation" mode of these 2 demos

• Find a way to compile only specific parts of the demo Polyhedron_demo: Make the demo customizable at build time #2109

• Make different views Polyhedron demo: New API for new features #2501

• Make it possible for the user to define macros associated to sequences of actions

This issue should be split several issues, that could be solved with different pull-requests.

Maxime, I suggest you have a look at the minutes, to see the feature requests that were listed, during the meeting. Maybe that list should be transformed into a real list under Github, with checkboxes. Probably you have already implemented some of them.

Great list. Thanks!
