Compas-slicer

----------

**Added**

* Bumped version to 0.2.1

**Changed**

**Fixed**

**Deprecated**

**Removed**

----------

**Added**

* Iterators through printpoints in PrintOrganizer
* Iterative smoothing of attributes on printpoints (ex smooth velocities, orientations etc)
* Export of (jsonable) PrintPoint attributes to json (in previous versions they were ignored upon export)

**Changed**

* added first layer in the slicing process that was previously removed.
* set_velocity function was split into separate functions depending on type (constant, by layer, by range, by overhang)

**Fixed**

* Fixed bug on the calculation of the Printpoint frame (both on PrintOrganizer and on the gh visualization).

**Deprecated**

**Removed**

* VerticalConnectivity from CurvedPrintOrganizer. This function does not need to be on its own class.
* Checking feasibility of Printpoints in PrintOrganizer (anyway it was a function left not-implemented in most PrintOrganizers). Might be re-introduced in the future but with more specific tasks.
* Planar slicing using MeshCut (and meshcut library from requirements).

----------

**Added**

* Fancy badges in the readme
* Export to Gcode

**Changed**

**Fixed**

**Deprecated**

**Removed**

----------

**Fixed**

* Small bug in example 1 regarding the raft

----------

**Added**

* Generate raft functionality

* is_raft parameter to the Layer

**Changed**

* Simplify paths to exclude simplification of raft layers

* Error raised when brim is attempted to be applied to a raft layer.

**Fixed**

* Small bug in print time calculation



2021-02-11
----------

**Added**

* UVcontours, UVslicer

* VerticalLayersManager

**Changed**

* Renamed the curved_slicer and all processes named after that (i.e. curved_preprocessor, curved_slicing_parameters, curved_print_organizer etc) to interpolation_slicer. These changes make this PR a breaking change.

* Reorganized the parameters folder. A lot of parameters where considered 'curved_slicing_parameters' although they were more general. So I broke those down into separate files. More parameters will be added in the future to those files.

**Fixed**

* Some documentation

* Slicer printout_info bug

**Deprecated**

**Removed**

* folder slicers.curved_slicing and all its contents.



2021-02-03
----------

**Added**

* Reorder vertical layers functionality

* Added z_height attribute to Layer and min_max_z_height to VerticalLayer

**Changed**

* Extension of CHANGELOG

* Changed naming of *sort_per_vertical_segment* to *sort_into_vertical_layers*

* Changed naming of *get_segments_centroids_list* to *get_vertical_layers_centroids_list*

**Fixed**

* Typo in wait time

**Deprecated**

**Removed**

2021-01-25
----------

**Added**

* ScalarFieldPrintOrganization as a slicing method

* Transfer of attributes from mesh faces and vertices to PrintPoints (utilities/attributes_transfer.py). Added the necessary attributes in the PrintPoints. Also added an example (example_6_attributes_transfer.py) showcasing this functionality.

**Changed**

* Cleaned up the 'printout_info' methods in the BaseSlicer and BasePrintOrganizer

* Refactored GradientEvaluation so that it can be applied in general for scalar fields, instead of just for interpolation fields

2021-01-25
----------

**Added**

*ScalarFieldContours as a slicing method

**Changed**

* Bug fixes on CurvedSlicingPreprocessor
