Hi guys, the Clojure version of toxiclibs is NOT going to be a wrapper of the existing Java version, but a complete re-write & opportunity to re-think the current architecture and benefit from Clojure's qualities (e.g. protocols & concurrency). Also, both the Java and the upcoming Clojure version are actually only focussed on generic operations & data structures for 2d/3d geometry tasks, interpolation, verlet physics simulation, voxels, color theory and related concepts. Neither deals with rendering/displaying the results. So far the Clojure version is still very alpha, and only parts of the core library have been implemented (geometry tools, mesh & OBJ export)... The repository is here (but lacking any documentation, check the tests, though, for general usage): http://hg.postspectacular.com/toxiclibs.clj/ http://hg.postspectacular.com/toxiclibs.clj/src/tip/test/toxi/test/geom.clj A recent version is also on Clojars: [org.toxiclibs/toxiclibs-clj "0.2.0-SNAPSHOT"] As mentioned, am making heavy use of protocols (and defrecords). Here's a slightly outdated map to show the overall structure: http://flickr.com/photos/toxi/7002599609 To give you a better idea, below is also a little example to generate a 3D cog mesh and export it as OBJ model (e.g. for 3D printing or use with other 3D tools): The fn creates a circle, converts it to a polygon, deforms the perimeter to create teeth based on a user provided profile, then tesselates & extrudes the polygon into a triangle mesh... (use 'toxi.geom.core 'toxi.geom.polygon2d 'toxi.geom.mesh.objexport) (defn cog [radius teeth profile depth] (let[nump (count profile) parts (-> (circle radius) (->polygon2d (* teeth nump)) :vertices (->> (partition nump))) poly (-> (map (fn[_] (map (fn[v s] (scale-n v s)) _ profile)) parts) flatten polygon2d) mesh (tesselate poly) mesh (add-meshes mesh [(-> mesh flip (transform (translate (matrix4x4) 0 0 depth))) (extrude poly (vec3d 0 0 1) depth)])] mesh)) (spit "cog.obj" (->obj (cog 100 10 [1 1.25 1.25 1] 20))) Result: http://flickr.com/photos/toxi/6856447350/ Best, K. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
