+1 for this. How would you name chapters 2 to 6 under the current classification? I think chapter 1 is fine as it, since there isn't much to introduce without the viewer (101_FileIO
is really short). Chapter 7 is becoming a bit of a potpourri for sure...
Here's one possible reorganization. This is based on putting like topics together (many chapters are the same). There are few odd ducks (e.g., AmbientOcclusion
, IterativeClosestPoint
).
I left FileIO
on its own because I think we could add a couple more really basic entries that demonstrate the V
,F
data structure even without invoking the Viewer. I also think we don't need to do a deep dive on the Viewer before more basic things like introducing the solvers, etc.

Looks good to me. Ambient occlusion could really also go into the viewer part, since its main application is data visualization.
Piggybacking on this, I was wondering if it made sense to split the tutorial entries into separate markdown files. The tutorial file is already quite large now. Could potentially use something like markdown-include which mkdocs seems to support.
This makes sense. I like the displayed document to be one long tutorial. But there's no reason the individual sections need to be in one giant .md behind the scenes. -Alec

Chapter 7 is getting a bit out of control. Meanwhile, Chapter 1 is simultaneously an intro chapter and a "viewer features" chapter. Let's use this issue to discuss some reorganization. For reference, here're the current tutorial entries (that we have code for; so this includes ones that have missing documentation):
