Improve debuggability #27

Open rgoulter opened 6 years ago

rgoulter commented 6 years ago

Currently:

sprinkled throughout the code are some commented-out cout << ... statements.
As well as some "stopwatch" timings.
And there doesn't seem to be an easy way to grab the input points used / retry with these.
Nor is it obvious how "far through" an algorithm is.

These kind of log remarks and timings may be useful for a Debug build, but not Release. :-) (It'd be nice to compile-time enable things like this for a Debug build, and omit them in a Release build).

Hmm. ... It'd be nice to clarify the scope here:

It may be nice to, from Qt window, also have a way to show info about the Voronoi Polygons (since they look messed up), as well as the Delaunay directed-graph triangle structure.

The need for the "debuggability" elsewhere was e.g. due to our use of a broken Fortune's implementation, and trying to use imprecise arithmetic on an algorithm which assumed precise arithmetic.
