===========================================
gmio is a reusable C library whose purpose is to provide complete I/O
support for various CAD file formats (eg. STL)
support for various CAD file formats (eg. [STL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_%28file_format%29))
gmio aims to be [fast](https://github.com/fougue/gmio/wiki/4.-Benchmarks),
portable (ISO-C90 conformance) and feature-rich.
Main highlights:
* [x] "Abstract" streams that does not tie the user to C stream (`FILE*`).
gmio provides a general stream structure based on callbacks, so that
any kind of device can be used (memory, file, socket, ...)
* [x] Operations can be easily aborted
* [x] "Abstract" streams that does not tie the user to C stream (`FILE*`)
gmio provides a general stream structure based on callbacks, so that any API
can be used (C++ streams, QFile, ...)
* [x] Buffering of input/ouput for efficient device usage
* [x] Operations can be easily aborted
* [x] Available under the CeCILL-B license, which is fully BSD compatible
Supported CAD files format
==========================
Current version only supports the STL file format (STereoLithography), but support is complete :
Current version only supports the STL file format (STereoLithography), but
support is complete :
* [x] Binary(little/big endian) and ASCII formats
* [x] Header data and "attribute byte count" for binary format
* [x] Name of solid for ASCII format
* [x] Detection of the input data format
* [x] Ability to specify the text formatting to represent float values
* [x] Retrieval of infomations about STL contents (facet count, name of solid, ...)
In addition, the STL module has the following advatanges:
* [x] The user keeps its own geometry data structures, no conversion needed.
This reduces the effort so that the user just specifies callbacks for
retrieval/creation of geometry data
* [x] No dynamic memory allocations
* [x] Extended support of OpenCascade's `StlMesh_Mesh`
* [x] The user keeps its own geometry data structures, no conversion needed
This reduces the effort so that the user just specifies callbacks for
retrieval/creation of mesh data
* [x] Constant memory footprint
Memory consumption is indenpendant of the mesh size ie. the amount of memory
used remains constant during the I/O operation
* [x] Extended support of OpenCascade
`StlMesh_Mesh` objects can be used seamlessly with gmio
