cinemac: C++ cinema library

This is under development and has not been released yet. Use at your own risk.

This is the repository for the cinemac library, a library of C++ based capabilities for Cinema.

build instructions

The cmake build requires VTK, and will look for it. You may have to set that directory.

    git clone git@github.com:cinemascience/cinemac.git
    cd cinemac
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ../src \
        -DVTK_DIR=/path/to/vtk/install \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/prefix

Once this is done, you should be able to include and link to the installed library. For an example of how to use the libray, look at the contents of tests/dbtest.cxx.

testing

Run the following to test:

    cd build
    ./tests/dbtest

This will create a directory in the build area with the following contents:
