Add new plugin for my new algorithm

Post by AhmadMahphood »

Dear
I have an academic paper published since 2020. I would like to add its algorithm for processing point clouds to your software for a future release. I implemented the algorithm in MATLAB. I spoke with specialists in Python about converting the MATLAB code to Python. What exactly should I do in Python to make it ready for inclusion? Should I simply convert it to Python code, or should I also convert it into a graphical user interface? What is the plugin?

I have another question: when will the new release be published?

Thank you very much for your understanding.
Dr. Ahmad Mahphood

So maybe these questions should be asked on the Python wrappers projects github pages (https://github.com/tmontaigu/CloudCompare-PythonRuntime or https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudComPy). I would say that if you want users to use your tools / algorithms, you'd better create a GUI for them. In which case the CloudCompare Python runtime is probably the best option (see the 3DFin plugin as the only Python-based plugin with a GUI available at the moment: https://github.com/3DFin/3DFin).

Could you contact me please: den.orlov@gmail.com. I am interested to implement some plugin for cc as part of semester project course in university. So possible implementation of your algorithm in a form of cc python runtime is a good match for you and me.
