Getting Started

Getting Glass Catalog Files

This application reads glass catalog files in Zemax AGF or CODEV XML format. They should be collected before starting the application.

Zemax AGFs are available from the manufacturers. CODEV XMLs can be downloaded from Synopsys support page.

Some files are already stored in this folder for tests.

Running the Application

The prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from the Release page, which is the quickest way to start.

Build from Source

If you want to build the application from sources, reading GlassPlotter.pro in QtCreator is recommended.

Loading Glass Catalogs

What to do first is to load glass catalog files. Go to File->Load AGF or Load XML, and then select all files you need.

After selecting AGF/XML files, the parse result dialog will appear. Most of the catalogs have invalid lines due to the lack of some property data. Such property value will be set NaN.
