Carna

Carna provides classes for simple and fast visualization of CT data. It is named after the greek god of organs (yup, they really did have even one for organs). It is based on OpenGL 3.3 and Eigen 3.

1. Dependencies

• Eigen ≥ 3.0.5
• OpenGL 3.3
• GLEW ≥ 1.7

Compilation process has been tested with following tool chains:

• GCC 7.5: is known to be fully supported.

2. Build instructions

On Linux you can run the linux_build.sh script.

---

3. Including in your project

Add a find_package directive to your project's CMakeLists.txt file, e.g.:

find_package( Carna REQUIRED )
include_directories( ${CARNA_INCLUDE_DIR} )

If you need to put a constraint on the version, use find_package(Carna 3.1.0 REQUIRED) to pick a package with a version compatible to 3.1.0, or use find_package(Carna 3.1.0 EXACT REQUIRED) to pick a package by the exact version.

You also need to add the headers (usually only the headers) from Eigen:

find_package( Eigen3 REQUIRED )
include_directories( ${EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR} )

Finally add Carna to the linking stage:

target_link_libraries( ${TARGET_NAME} ${SOME_OTHER_LIBRARIES} ${CARNA_LIBRARIES} )
