Aardvark

Aardvark is a rendering / visualization system developed at the VRVis Research Center. Since parts of our framework might be helpful for other visualization projects we decided to make them open-source. We would of course also be very happy to see other people contributing to the libraries. The Repository currently only holds our base-library (Aardvark.Base) and will be extended with other libraries in the future.

Aardvark.Base

This project contains datatypes and algorithms commonly used in computer graphics. A short list of included features:

• basic vector/matrix/color/range types
• transformation utilities (quaternions, ...)
• geometric primitives (e.g. triangle, polygon, line, etc.)
• efficient tensor library (Vector, Matrix, Volume, Tensor4)
• sorting algorithms (dual-pivot quick sort, timsort, etc.)
• minimum spanning tree / shortest path / etc.
• polynomial solver / LU-Factorization / QR-Factorization
• and many more
