# Additional credits:
#   Thanks to Emilio Aguirre for S2flender from which I took inspirations :)
#   Thanks to Nikola Radovanovic, the author of the original VRM script,
#       the code you read here has been rewritten _almost_ entirely
#       from scratch but Nikola gave me the idea, so I thank him publicly.
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# 
# Things TODO for a next release:
#   - FIX the issue with negative scales in object tranformations!
#   - Use a better depth sorting algorithm
#   - Review how selections are made (this script uses selection states of
#     primitives to represent visibility infos)
#   - Use a data structure other than Mesh to represent the 2D image? 
#     Think to a way to merge (adjacent) polygons that have the same color.
#     Or a way to use paths for silhouettes and contours.
#   - Consider SMIL for animation handling instead of ECMA Script? (Firefox do
#     not support SMIL for animations)
#   - Switch to the Mesh structure, should be considerably faster
#     (partially done, but with Mesh we cannot sort faces, yet)
#   - Implement Edge Styles (silhouettes, contours, etc.) (partially done).
#   - Implement Shading Styles? (partially done, to make more flexible).
#   - Add Vector Writers other than SVG.
#   - set the background color!
#   - Check memory use!!
#

#
# Changelog:
#
#   vrm-0.3.py  - ...
#     * First release after code restucturing.
#       Now the script offers a useful set of functionalities
#       and it can render animations, too.
#     * Optimization in Renderer.doEdgeStyle(), build a topology cache
#       so to speed up the lookup of adjacent faces of an edge.
#       Thanks ideasman42.
#     * The SVG output is now SVG 1.0 valid.
#       Checked with: http://jiggles.w3.org/svgvalidator/ValidatorURI.html
#     * Progress indicator during HSR.
#     * Initial SWF output support (using ming)
#     * Fixed a bug in the animation code, now the projection matrix is
#       recalculated at each frame!
#     * PDF output (using reportlab)
#     * Fixed another problem in the animation code the current frame was off
#       by one in the case of camera movement.
#     * Use fps as specified in blender when VectorWriter handles animation
#     * Remove the real file opening in the abstract VectorWriter
#     * View frustum clipping
#     * Scene clipping done using bounding box instead of object center
#     * Fix camera type selection for blender>2.43 (Thanks to Thomas Lachmann)

        From: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Coplanar.html

        Geometric objects lying in a common plane are said to be coplanar.
        Three noncollinear points determine a plane and so are trivially coplanar.
        Four points are coplanar iff the volume of the tetrahedron defined by them is
        0, 
        
            | x_1 y_1 z_1 1 |
            | x_2 y_2 z_2 1 |
            | x_3 y_3 z_3 1 |
            | x_4 y_4 z_4 1 | == 0

        Coplanarity is equivalent to the statement that the pair of lines
        determined by the four points are not skew, and can be equivalently stated
        in vector form as (x_3-x_1).[(x_2-x_1)x(x_4-x_3)]==0.

        An arbitrary number of n points x_1, ..., x_n can be tested for
        coplanarity by finding the point-plane distances of the points
        x_4, ..., x_n from the plane determined by (x_1,x_2,x_3)
        and checking if they are all zero.
        If so, the points are all coplanar.

        We here check only for 4-point complanarity.
