Viewing the scripts for the containers

Hi All,

I just wondered if there is a way to view the scripts that have been written for the general containers: control points, mesh edges, bounding box, etc..?

My reasoning is because I have been asked that when publish my paper that I display the mathematics used, but of course this is abstract to me (mostly); I have indeed mentioned this awesome plugin for Rhino though.

Many Thanks

Dave

Nope, they are not open source and reverse engineering the code is an explicit violation of the license agreement. At any rate, those components mostly just call into RhinoCommon methods without adding any significant logic. RhinoCommon (well, part of it) is open source so you could have a look at it, but unfortunately RhinoCommon usually places calls into Rhino.exe core, which is not open source.

Almost all geometric functionality in GH ultimately comes from the Rhino C++ SDK (via RhinoCommon). Notable exceptions are the Delaunay, Voronoi, Convex Hull, QuadTree/OcTree, 2D/3D Proximity, Populate X and Mesh Spray components.

That said I'm not sure 'source code' and 'the mathematics' are necessarily the same thing. What sort of 'mathematics' does your publisher require?
