Jeremy Reizenstein 1c45ec9770 Avoid gradients when rendering for visualization
Summary: The renderer gets used for visualization only in places. Here we avoid creating an autograd graph during that, which is not needed and can fail because some of the graph which existed earlier might be needed and has not been retained after the optimizer step. See https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/issues/624

Setup

Install dependencies

pip install -U recommonmark mock sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme sphinx_markdown_tables

We want to include the root readme as an overview. Before generating the docs create a symlink to the root readme.

cd docs        
ln -s ../README.md  overview.md

In conf.py for deployment this is done using subprocess.call.

Add a new file

Add a new .md or .rst file and add the name to the doc tree in index.rst e.g

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1
   :caption: Intro Documentation

   overview

To autogenerate docs from docstrings in the source code, add the import path for the function e.g.

Chamfer Loss
--------------------

.. autoclass:: loss.chamfer.chamfer_distance
    :members:
    :undoc-members:

    .. automethod:: __init__

Build

From pytorch3d/docs run:

> make html

The website is generated in _build/html.

Common Issues

Sphinx can be fussy, and sometimes about things you werent expecting. For example, you might encounter something like:

WARNING: toctree contains reference to nonexisting document u'overview' ... checking consistency... /docs/overview.rst:: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

You might have indented overview in the .. toctree:: in index.rst with four spaces, when Sphinx is expecting three.
