Layout "MGED Interface" Reference Document
completed by: Deep Inder Singh
mentors: Sean, Harmanpreet Singh
BRL-CAD's primary geometry editor is called MGED. MGED's documentation is extensive but incomplete without a concise one page document that details MGED's interface.
This task involves taking the content gathered in a previous GCI task and making it all fit neatly on just one page. It'll give a brief descriptive overview of the key bindings, mouse bindings, and primary GUI elements. It should include a screenshot/image that includes the command window, graphics window, raytrace control panel, combination editor, and geometry tree view. It should incorporate the known key/mouse bindings.
