<H2 CLASS="western">Naming Rules</H2>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><B><I>Class</I></B> names with first
letter Uppercase and internal uppercase to separate compound words.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><B><I>Function members</I></B> of
classes follow the same rule.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Example:</P>
<P CLASS="code-western"><BR>Point3f <BR>{<BR>public:<BR>ScalarType
&amp;V(const int i);<BR>}</P>
<P CLASS="code-western"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><B><I>Public Variable members</I></B>
has the first letter lowercase and internal uppercase to separate
compound words.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Example:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><B><I>Private Variable members</I></B>
has an underscore as first char and the first letter lowercase and
internal uppercase to separate compound words.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Example:</P>
<P CLASS="code-western"><BR>Point3f <BR>{<BR> private:<BR>
ScalarType _v[3];<BR>}</P>
<P CLASS="code-western"><BR>
</P>
<P><B><I>Class Template Arguments</I></B> all capitalized and with
names remembering where they have been defined.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">TypeDefs used for templated Class
arguments just like Class Names, but ending with &ldquo;Type&rdquo;</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Example:</P>
<P CLASS="code-western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.5cm"><FONT SIZE=2><FONT FACE="Courier New, sans-serif"><BR>Point3f::ScalarType</FONT></FONT>
</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Header Files</H2>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Header filenames and folders are always
fully lower case. Compound names are separated by '_'.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Example:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT FACE="Courier New, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=2>#include&lt;vcg/space/point3.h&gt;</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"><FONT SIZE=3>Each include file
must begin with the standard legal disclamier/license intestation and
report in the first line of history the $LOG$ cvs string. </FONT></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"><FONT SIZE=3>The following
automatically ge\nerated history can be, from time to time,
compressed/shortened. </FONT></FONT>
</P>
<P>Each file of the library has to include all the files that it
requires. A include file should relies on the files included by its
include files. Example: in vcg/space/box3.h:</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P CLASS="code-western">#include&lt;vcg/math/base.h&gt; // not
necessary because included by point3.h</P>
<P CLASS="code-western">#include&lt;vcg/space/point3.h&gt;
</P>
<P CLASS="code-western"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">In Class definitions place all the
prototypes all together before the inline or templated
implementations.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Editing Rules</H2>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Tabs are equivalent to two spaces.
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">There are no strict rules for the
placement of '{' or indenting.</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Constructors and casting</H2>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">All basic classes (point3, box3 ecc)
must have null constructors. Non null constructors can be added in
debug versions.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Implicit casting is disallowed. Write a
member Import function for casting from different integral types and
a static Construct to build an object from different a integral type.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Example:</P>
<P CLASS="code-western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.5cm"><BR>Point3f
pf(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f); <BR>Point3d
pd=Point3f::Construct(pf);<BR>pf.Import(pd);</P>
