One of the disadvantage of such library is to require matured programming skills to master them.\n\nThis project aims to be in mid-ground. Geopter features to be open-sorce and to put a higher priority to intuitive GUI allowing to focus on optical design process. \n\nThis project is very work-in-progress. Any contributions or feedbacks are greatly appreciated.\n\n## Getting Started\n### Prebuilt Binaries\nPrebuilt binaries can be downloaded from [Release page](https://github.com/heterophyllus/Geopter/releases/latest).\n\n### Examples\nSome example lenses are stored in \"example\" folder in json format.  In Geopter GUI, go File-\u003eOpen and select a json file.\n\n### Python scripting\nGeopter doesn't have its own \"macro\" language unlike the exemplary software such as Zemax and CodeV.  Instead, the embedded Python console enables command scripting in order to automate a complex procedure. The \"app\" and \"osys\" object provide the accesses to the application and the optical system respectively.\nFor the moment, only a few functions have been implemented.\n\n### Note\nIn Geopter, the array indexes(fields, wavelengths, etc) start at 0 to keep consistency with Python.\n\n\n## Development\n### Dependencies\n\n|Library|Description|\n|---|---|\n|[Qt](https://www.qt.io)|widget toolkit for GUI|\n|[Qt Advansed Docking System](https://github.com/githubuser0xFFFF/Qt-Advanced-Docking-System)|Flexible docking layout system|\n|[QCustomPlot](https://www.qcustomplot.com)|Graph plotting library |\n|[nlohman/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json)|JSON utility|\n|[Eigen](https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page)|template library for linear algebra|\n|[ttk592/spline](https://github.com/ttk592/spline)|spline interpolation|\n|[PythonQt](https://mevislab.github.io/pythonqt/index.html)|dynamic Python binding for the Qt framework|\n\n\n### Building from Source\nAll of the dependencies except Qt itself have been included in this repository.  Use cmake to generate Visual Studio solution.\n\nNote that this application is built with Qt5 and Qt6 is currently not supported.\n\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under GPL license - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE.md) for details.\n\n\n## Contributing\nContributions and feedbacks are greatly appreciated.\nPlease read [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on our code of conduct, and the process for submitting pull requests to us.\n\n\n## Contact\n- [ e-mail ](mailto:heterophyllus.work@gmail.com)\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fheterophyllus%2Fgeopter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fheterophyllus%2Fgeopter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fheterophyllus%2Fgeopter/lists"}
