        GAMer is a surface mesh improvement library developed to condition surface meshes derived from noisy biological imaging data.
        Using Tetgen, GAMer can generate tetrahedral meshes suitable for finite elements simulations of reaction-diffusion systems among others.
        GAMer has the following main features:
        
        * Surface mesh improvement and decimation algorithms
        * Boundary marking and other features
        * Estimation of surface curvatures
        * Generation of mesh surfaces around biological molecules
        
        **Technical Features:**
        
        * Code is implemented in C++ and supports Python using a pybind11 wrapper (pygamer).
        * Cross system compilation using CMake and runs on Linux (64 bit), Windows (32 or 64 bit) or MacOS (64 bit).
        * Blender addon which enables easy access to GAMer features using the pygamer API.
        * Uses the Colored Abstract Simplicial Complex data ([CASC](http://github.com/ctlee/casc/) structure as the flexible underlying representation of surface and tetrahedral meshes.
        * Code is hosted by [GitHub](http://github.com/ctlee/gamer/) under the Lesser GNU public license (LGPLv2). Please post issues or reports there.

        ## Installation
        The following instructions are to build the base GAMer library.
        If you wish to additionally compile the Blender GAMer addon, GAMer documentation, or other features please refer to the Additional Options section prior to building.
        
        First, download a copy of the source from [releases](https://github.com/ctlee/gamer/releases) or clone the master branch.<br/>
        ```bash
        git clone https://github.com/ctlee/gamer.git
        cd gamer
        ```
        
        Linux and Mac:
        ```bash
        mkdir build
        cd build
        cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -DGAMER_TESTS=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
        make
        ```
        
        For Windows, we support building using Microsoft Visual Studio (MSVS) through the use of CMake generators:
        ```bash
        mkdir build64
        cd build64
        cmake -DBUILD_BLENDGAMER=TRUE -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -A x64 ..
        cmake --build . --config Release
        ```
        
        For a complete guide to installation, including configuration of PyGAMer and BlendGAMer please checkout the [online installation documentation](https://gamer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html).
        
        ## External libraries bundled/downloaded with/by GAMer
        * GAMer uses [Tetgen](http://wias-berlin.de/software/tetgen/) to generate
        tetrahedralizations.
        
        * GAMer uses [Eigen](http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) to
        compute eigenvalues/eigenvectors of the Local Structure Tensor.
        
        * GAMer uses [casc](https://github.com/ctlee/casc) as the underlying simplicial
        complex data structure.
        
        * GAMer uses [GoogleTest](https://github.com/google/googletest) to handle testing.
        
        * GAMer uses [Pybind11](https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
        
        * Mesh checks in the GAMer Blender addon are inspired or borrowed from 3D Print Toolbox by Campbell Barton and Meshalyzer from CellBlender.
        
        * [Triangle](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html) is also bundled with GAMer but not currently used.
