@jingyangcarl if you have some time left and @gdamiand agrees having a function to draw a straight skeleton would be nice :)

@jingyangcarl if you have some time left and @gdamiand agrees having a function to draw a straight skeleton would be nice :)

I started it here

@jingyangcarl if you have some time left and @gdamiand agrees having a function to draw a straight skeleton would be nice :)

Maybe we can discuss it a little if necessary? I'm a little confused here

[afabri]

I have written the draw() function for the Straight_skeleton_2, but just quick and dirty. It would make sense to draw the contour and biscetor edges in different colors. I didn't change the line width, and have no idea how if this is necessary when one has a huge data set....

[gdamiand]

Thanks @afabri for this new viewer. Since gsoc end is today, it is too late for @jingyangcarl, but it seems you almost finish it. We can work together to finish it if you want.
About the line width, it is not possible to change it (for now) with the basic viewer. It could be a nice feature...
