The package

GAP image creator, GAPic for short, is a package to visualize mathematical structures which can be generated using the GAP language. It does not function alone, but rather extends other packages functionalities as to be independent of them.

Background

While developing the SimplicialSurfaces package we wrote a functionality that visualizes simplicial surfaces. As the function grew and was improved we also managed to visualize more general triagonal complexes. To give all these functions a home, this package was then developed.

Stage of the project

The package is currently under development and will as a first step gain the functionality of the DrawSurfaceToJavascript function from the before mentioned package. There are plans to incorporate other functionalities, when that happens we will update this readme.

ToDos

• Prototype for checking if necessary packages are installed Will be done with the new function from GAP 4.13 which checks if a Package is Loaded, see https://github.com/GAP-ART-RWTH/GAPic/issues/15 First version done with 6154816
• Add DrawSurfaceToJavascript functionality (now called DrawComplexToJavaScript)
• Finish review of the manual, currently is in a beta state
