The hotkeys are all hardcoded at the moment at nearby but suboptimal positions on the keyboard. Ideally, the user should be able to configure these.

The university won't open source the project under a GPL license, so we need to rewrite any parts that use CGAL. Lots of stuff involved here. The overall strategy is to move over to VTK/ITK for all equivalent mesh processing functionality.

• Convert polyhedron data structure to itk::QuadEdgeMesh
• Convert PolyhedronPointFinder
• Look into mesh topology modification i.e. mesh patch parameterization
• Convert all the VTK elements
• Convert all the path finding code
• Convert all the mesh cleaning code

Sometimes, picking points will select vertices that are occluded. The vertex nearest to the cursor and facing the camera should be selected, but this is not always what gets picked.

We use the a special case of the Clausen function to compute the energy functional for hyperbolic uniformization of our meshes. Since we can't use GPL code, we can't use libgsl's implementation of the Clausen function. Propose to rewrite using only Boost library:

We can use a series acceleration, which uses the Riemann zeta function to compute the Clausen function. We can approximate the infinite sum by truncating and evaluating efficiently by applying Horner's method.

The idea was to render hyperbolic layouts and use them for interactively exploring hyperbolic space.

We can probably just resolve this issue by disabling any UI elements that construct and show a Poppler document -- this isn't really significantly developed in the codebase.

For convenience, we picked up libply for parsing meshes stored in ASCII PLY file format, but this is GPL code that we can't use.

The proposed fix is to use vtkPLYReader to read in a vtkPolyData and process it downstream from there.

Installing gtest system-wide is not recommended according to this.

Maybe 4% of the time, deleting the last placed point using PathBuilderWidget will cause a crash.

I recall it isn't very enlightening but what is the error message?
