Geoclide

Release date: 13-03-2025

* Several doctring corrections

* Clearer docsting

* Improvement of the sphinx docs

* A mistake has been found concerning the parameter name for diagonal calculations
only for the the Transform `__call__` method and the function `ang2vec`
- The name calc_diag has been replaced by the correct one i.e. diag_calc

* Add missing diag_calc parameter to Transform `rotate` method

* Correct the Transform `scale` method
- the method uses the `get_scale_tf` function, which takes only one parameter
of type Vector instead of three

Release date: 12-03-2025

This release includes only a breacking change with the function `get_scale_tf`.
The Transform and Ray `__call__` method is now recommended in replacement
of the method `__getitem__`. The method `__getitem__` is still here but has a
depracated message

* Improve the `__str__` and `__repr__` methods in case of multiple vectors, points,
normals or rays

* Replace the Transform and Ray classes method `__getitem__` by the method `__call__`

* Multiple transformations is now possible with the Transform class
- Allow 1-D calculations with several transformations and 1 point, vectors, ...
- Allow 2-D calculations with several transformations and several points, vectors, ...
- Allow diagonal calculations (case 2-D with option diag_calc=True)

* Add sphinx documentation

* Function `get_scale_tf` takes as input a Vector variable instead of 3 scalars

* Add new option flatten to Tranform `__call__` method
- Instead of having a numpy array of Vector objects, the output can be only 1 Vector
object where a flatten operation is made to x, y, z components of all vectors
- Avoid loop operation then reduce the computational time

* Function `vec2ang` now accepts Vector object with multiple vectors

* Function `ang2vec` now accepts 1d ndarray theta and phi angles

Release date: 05-03-2025

* Several corrections in TriangleMesh `intersect`, `is_intersection_t` and
`is_intersection` methods

* Transformations were not taken into account when using the plot method,
now it's corrected

* Addition of more tests

Release date: 03-03-2025

* Correction of a bug occuring while using a version of numpy < 2.0.0
- np.atan2 and np.acos replaced by np.arctan2 and np.arccos

* README image links updated

* Correct file format and add test files in MANIFEST file

* Ignore certain unwanted warnings

Release date: 02-03-2025

This release includes some breaking changes like the input of TriangleMesh where
the variable names are different, but also the input (2d ndarray). Other breaks are
for example changes of certain method outputs.

* Acceleration of geometric calculations thanks to numpy multi-dimentional array operations
- Point, Vector and Normal classes can now have 1-D ndarray x, y, z components
- Functions in vecope.py have been adapted to allow Point, Vector and Normal
with 1-D ndarray x, y, z components
- Readaptation of the Ray and BBox classes with the new Point, Vector and Normal
classes
- BBox `intersect` method allow 1-D, 2-D and 2-D diagonal calculations
- Readaptation of the quadric classes enabling intersection tests with a class
Ray containing several rays
- Readaptation of Triangle and TriangleMesh classes. Allow 1-D, 2-D and 2-D
diagonal calculations
- ...

* The 3D objects `intersect` method output is now an xarray Dataset

* Several new functionalities
- New method `to_triangle_mesh` to convert a quadric to a TriangleMesh object
- New method `to_plot` for TriangleMesh, and also for all quadrics
- New TriangleMesh method `write` to save the triangle mesh in nectcdf4 and also in
- several other formats as stl, ply, ...
- The `read_trianglemesh` function allows to read triangle mesh files (gcnc, stl, ply,
etc.) and return a TriangleMesh object
- ...

* A lot of tests have been added, more documentations, cleaning, ...

Release date: 13-02-2025

* Correction of a bug in TriangleMesh constructor
- The bug occurred when we set the vi parameter as a 2d array.

* Add tests detecting the corrected bug

* Add docstring to area method for all objects
