#BTKCore#

##Introduction##

Core of the project Biomechanical-ToolKit (BTK) which represent biomechanical data, file formats and data processing

BTK is an open-source and cross-platform library for biomechanical analysis. BTK read and write acquisition files and can modify them. All these operations can be done by the use of the C++ API or by the wrappers included (Matlab, Octave, and Python).

All the informations to build the C++ libraries and bindings are provided in file 'Readme.html' which is located in the root of the source code.

APIs documentation and tutorials are proposed on the main website of the project: http://b-tk.googlecode.com

##Continuous integration##

To test the implemented features as well as to verify the modification in the code, hundreds of cases representing standard usages of the project are tested at each revision of the project.

Tests are built for the different supported operating systems (MacOS X, Linux) as well as for the different supported languages (C++, Matlab/Octave, and Python). All the tests are realized on the master branch of the code which corresponds to the next version of the project.

###MacOS X 64-bit (C++, Python) ### Built from MacOS 10.8.2 and XCode 4.6.1. Configured to build C++ modules as static and shared 64-bit libraries (with Clang and GCC). Python binding is built with the MacOS X embedded version of Python and Numpy, while Swig is installed with Homebrew.

###Linux 64-bit (C++, Python, Octave) ### Built from Ubuntu 12.04 and GCC 4.6. Configured to build C++ modules as shared 64-bit libraries. Python and Octave bindings are built from the application/libraries furnished with Ubuntu 12.04 (i.e. Python 2.7.3, Numpy 1.6.1, Swig 2.0.4, and Octave 3.2).

###Windows 7 32-bit (C++, Python, Octave) ### Built from MSVC 2010 (Windows SDK 7.1). Configured to build C++ modules as shared 32-bit libraries. The Python binding is built with Python 2.7.5, Numpy 1.8.0 and Swig 2.0.11. The Octave binding is built with Octave 3.6.4.
