This is the 'parametrization' module of the SINTEF GoTools library as
licensed under GNU-GPL.

______________________________COMPILATION_ISSUES___________________________

Requirements:

* You need the 'boost' library installed on your system in order for
  the module to compile.  This library can be downloaded from
  www.boost.org.

* The module also needs the GoTools Core Library.  This can be 
  downloaded from 'http://www.sintef.no/math_software'.

To make and install the library, go to the 'parametrization' directory
and follow the standard './configure', 'make', 'make install'
procedure. See the included INSTALL file.

Running 'make' will also make the example program, 'demo', found in
the 'app' catalog.  This program will allow you to parametrize a point
cloud with known boundary, or a triangulation.  Sample input to the
program is given in the 'data' catalog.

________________________________OTHER_NOTES________________________________

* If you have Doxygen installed, you can generate documentation by typing
  'doxygen' at the command prompt.

* In general, the print() and scan() functions that can be found in
  some data structure classes are useful for writing and reading
  objects to/from a stream, including their parametrization.  For
  reading and writing without considering the object parametrization,
  use the printRawData() and scanRawData() functions.  The format for
  printRawData() and scanRawData() are explained in the file
  'data/NOTES_DATA_FORMAT', for the two specific classes that are used
  in the example program.

* The shape used for the input data to the test program
  ('noh_mask.tri' and 'noh_mask.pcloud') is provided courtesy of Max
  Plank Institut fur Informatik, by the AIM@SHAPE Shape Repository.
