Today there was no group meeting to Luke having a exam for a subject he is teaching at 11:30 and with the late notice it was easier to call of the group meeting.

However Tim went  to see Luke to show him the progress that had been made since he had last seen the program. Here they discussed the simple changes that were still going to be made to the program such as the look of the buttons and adding more functionality. Luke also suggested that the Splitscreen Fullscreen and Wireframe buttons across the top be spaced away from the first three because these contained other commands. Overall Luke was happy with what has been done to date and thinks as a group that we are on track.

As for the rest of the group everyone knows what they are doing at the moment and communication for this week has mainly been through emails. Jun as also brought in the help of Casey Chow to help with the way the string renders. Previously the string was rendering fine however is that was to be a curve within the string the rendering wouldn't factor this in and make that curve look flat.

Casey was helpful enough to give Jun some source code which he has used to help solve the problem of the rendering. The picture below shows the most current state of the rendering but the highlighted areas are parts where the program seems to be over correcting to much.

Summary	Todays meeting consisted of only Tim, Jun and Phil and Phil demonstrating the progress with the GUI he has made. First impression makes the most and Phil had done this successfully with the progress he has made. The GUI buttons aren’t the new ones but the idea is still there. The GUI looks good and has some new features. Phil had taken it upon himself to add a tabbed tool bar. This allows for different commands to be categorised under the categories across the top. For example the three main categories at the moment are the edit, snap shoots and camera. When a user in either of these modes different buttons appear and only these certain actions can be achieved. This is great because it doesn’t overcrowd the GUI with to many buttons and gives the user better control of the system After Phil’s demonstration there was discussion as to what could be changed and what should be added. Phil had made some point he want to run past the group. These points included little semantics such as changing the colour and width of certain areas. To more complex issues such as when pressing the select button and selecting a point, then changing buttons and coming back the selection button keeps a memory of the point that was selected. These point made by Phil were great because he is definitely thinking in more detailed and about the end user. As we discussed through these point it was obvious that a few of these could be implemented but they will only be implemented if time isn’t a factor when we get around to them. They are some good points but not necessary for the program to run and run well. Overall everyone in the group seems happy with the progress that has been made and everyone is doing their work and moving along nicely. At the moment it seems like we are on track and then shift our focus to mainly the documentation.
