Installation and folder structure
================

VCG Lib uses a SVN repository hosted by sourceforge. 
The main project page of the library is http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcg/

To get the right subset of the svn trunk in the devel folder you should issue the following svn command:

    svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/vcg/code/trunk/vcglib vcglib

Windows users with tortoisesvn (http://www.tortoisesvn.net) installed should

1. create a folder named vcglib.
2. right-click in the newly created vcglib folder and choose SVN Checkout
3. put in the first parameter: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/vcg/code/trunk/vcglib
4. press ok and wait, it should start to check out the last revision of the whole tree.

Folder Structure
================
VCG Lib is mostly made of header files (and its core part it's only header files).
Just download the tarball from here and uncompress it in a folder, e.g. named vcg, inside you compiler "include" directory.
Afterwards, you have to just include the file you need.

Inside vcg folder you will find 5 sub-folders:

- `vcg`: this is the core of the library, where all the algorithms and data structures are defined. This part is pure, quite heavily templated, C++ code with STL support for common data structures and algorithms. You will not find a single include from here to anything else than standard libraries. Note that core part is made of header files (.h files) only.
- `wrap`: here you will find the wrapping of VCG concepts towards specific needs/contexts/libraries. For example you will find all the code to import/export meshes from the hard disk in many formats, or the routines for rendering triangle meshes with OpenGL, supports for common GUI tools like a trackball, and so on..
- `apps`: this folder contains the command line applications developed with the VCG Lib. Many (much more) examples can be found in MeshLab. The apps/simple directory contains a sub-collection of very basic apps. A good starting point for beginners!
- `docs`: documentation lives here (including this tutorial)
- `eigenlib` a copy of the latest stable version of the eigen library for linear algebra ( http://http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/ ). VCGlib relies on eigen for all the advanced matrix  processing.

You can browse the svn tree on the sourceforge page http://sourceforge.net/p/vcg/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/vcglib/
