CGAL users discussion list

[Pete Good <>]

I have managed to get the Basic_viewer examples running, thanks to the 
feedback I received to my question about Qt6. I have a container packing 
program which produces packing solutions and I have managed to use the 
draw(lcc) example to display the container and its contents using 
multiple hexahedrons. This works fine but I would like to have more 
control over the colouring of the hexahedrons, for example, it would be 
useful to make the container transparent and assign a unique colour to 
each of its contents.

The github co-pilot tells me that this is not yet possible because 
CGAL::draw generates the colours internally and the user cannot change 
them. I would be interested to know if there are any plans to extend the 
CGAL functionality so that functions that can be performed on 2D objects 
can also be performed on 3D objects.
