Welcome to the Contribution Guide!
Due to time constraints, I am unable to maintain this project constantly. However, the work is in progress, and any contributions are greatly appreciated.
Please refer to the following guidelines for areas where help is needed:

Style

We generally follow the Google Style Guide.
Currently, there is no automated checking pipeline for this, but I will personally review the code. Contributions to add such a pipeline would be highly appreciated.

Current Tasks

Here are some key tasks where contributions are needed:

[ ] Complete the development of core modules:
- camera
- camera_parser
- sensor_base
- sensor_parser
- And all related sensor parts of the code
[ ] Add support for transmission parsing. Although transmissions cannot be visualized, they can be parsed as part of the model.
[ ] Enhance the model to support graph construction for complex robots.
We can rely on:
- std::map or std::unordered_map for a simple implementation
- An external graph library like CXXGraph for advanced graph representation
[ ] Avoid using Boost libraries wherever possible.
[ ] Add support for rendering collision shapes of links with lighter colors or textures.
[ ] Add support for link color display.
[ ] Add support for material display and/or texture file parsing and rendering.
[ ] Add Collada file support using the collada-dom library.
[ ] Ensure each implementation is tested in the test folder.
[ ] Add graph computation functions (e.g., computing model roots, leaves, etc.).
[ ] Implement utility functions for inertial, volume, and collision computations, such as:
- Total mass
- Center of inertia
- Total volume of the model
- Density, and more

Additional Features

These additional features would improve the library:

[ ] Add a custom project logo.
[ ] Create a pipeline to deploy the library upon each release to vcpkg and Conan Center package managers.
