It has no link with my PhD project except that it allowed me to clear my mind. </p> <p>This software is also my first shot at OpenGL. I used FLTK as the GUI library. I didn't find the use of OpenGL really hard since I have only used simple function. I still need to do a lot of optimization. An example could be to draw the coast lines and the faults line directly on the image before mapping it to the globe. </p> <p>Finally, I have difficulties to compile it on Windows. I have no running computer with this OS and cross compiling software with OpenGL is really hard!</p> <h2> Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories </h2> <p>Don't be too harsh on your code evaluation, the software is incomplete and far from optimal. I was really just a simple project made to relax! </p> octograd2020
