This week: I struggled to update the Grapher files at the website www.ccd.rpi.edu/eglash/csdt/pcsdt/GG/. Today I met with Eddie and he helped me update the files.
Next week: I will show off my updated Grapher and see what is liked/disliked. I will go from there and change accordingly. After that I plan to find what else to add/change/remove.

Progress Report (11/2 - 11/8)
This week: I removed the codelets move by, move arc, write text, and increase line width by. I also renamed the codelets Move By 3D and Move Arc 3D to Move Straight and Move Arc. I made two new codelets, set heading and change heading. These codelets take a number and modify the direction to move in. Set is absolute and change is relative to the current heading. Although I have added more codelets, the overall feel is much less intimidating than before. This is mainly due to the decrease in the number of total arguments within all codelets. Lastly, I updated the demo script to work with the new set of functions.
Next week: Rework the codelet to draw arcs. I fear that the current way may be better if changed to not use iteration rather than the angle sweeping idea proposed. I will discuss this in the next meeting.

Progress Report (10/27 - 11/1)
This week: I fixed the function MoveBy. As of right now it is only locally fixed and I cannot commit.
I also thought of an idea to change the 3d functions (MoveBy3d, DrawArc3d,etc) to have the width change parameter to all be like the MoveBy3d, make these so they are total width change instead of each iteration. As of right now some are total and some are with each iteration, by making them all total this would lead to everything being similar and would make the program feel less like iteration which is what I believe Profressor Eglash wants.
Next Week: I plan to ask about my 3d functions idea and find out how to commit. I believe all I need is to be put into the list of those who are allowed to commit. I have a file Eddie gave me, but it appears to be from July, so I also plan to ask about what else to do and make sure they still want to implement the ideas that haven't already been implemented.

| Before: This would just fail and crash the program on a MoveBy function. |

| After: This now performs the MoveBy correctly and continues |
