I want to make a 2-D and 3-D rendering library which uses THREE.js to render into a web page. Specifically, I am targeting manipulatable 3-D graphs that can be created in a iPython notebook.

Math types: These types support the math necessary for 2-D and 3-D rendering

  • Vector2D : A two dimensional vector.
  • Matrix3 : A 3x3 matrix for transforming the 2-D vector.
  • Vector3D : A three dimensional vector.
  • Matrix4 : A 4x4 matrix for transforming the 3-D vector.

Geometry types : These types hold the geometry information GeoObj : This is the base class.

  • Sprite : A 2-D picture rendered at a vertex. + PointSet : A collection of points (vertices) that will render as fixed sized point. + Text : Text that renders at a vertex.
  • Line : A single connected line between many vertices.
  • TriangleSet : A set of triangles drawn between vertices.
  • GeoSet : A collection of sprites, lines, triangles that all share the same set of indexed vertices.
    • Polygon : A geoset with a line around the perimeter, and triangles in the center.
      • Rectangle
    • Box : A geoset that describes a box. It has lines at the edges, and triangles filling in the faces.
    • Frame2D : A GeoSet that describes frame with tickmarks and text.
    • Frame3D : A GeoSet that has a box outline with tickmarks, the rear faces of the mesh should have a wiremesh in addition to the tickmarks on the box outlines.

Functions : These are the functions to define

  • Render2D : This function takes a list of 2-D GeoObj and renders them onto a canvas using THREE.js
  • Render3D : This function takes a list of 3-D GeoObj and renders then onto a canvas using THREE.js
