# stlscope
This little program will allow you to view STL files from your terminal. It uses [Go](https://golang.org/) as the programming language, [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org/) to render the graphics and [GLFW](https://www.glfw.org/) to create a window to display the model. To use OpenGL and GLFW with the Go language a lot of code is used from the [go-gl project](https://github.com/go-gl/). At the moment it is only usable via the command line interface.
## Usage
It could not be simpler:
```
$ stlscope myfile.stl
```
Have a look at `stlscope -h` to learn about further options.
## Development Milestones
Done (most recent first):
- [x] package for Arch Linux (get a PKGBUILD file from [here](https://src.xengineering.eu/xengineering/pkgbuilds/src/branch/master/stlscope))
- [x] implement Makefile to support building
- [x] implement minimal viable product
To do (most important first):
- [ ] implement controls to modify view
- [ ] improve graphics to better display the model
- [ ] add support for ASCII STL format
- [ ] improve performance with GPU-based matrix-matrix-multiplication
