Jeremy Reizenstein bf3bc6f8e3 screen cameras lose -1
Summary:
All the renderers in PyTorch3D (pointclouds including pulsar, meshes, raysampling) use align_corners=False style. NDC space goes between the edges of the outer pixels. For a non square image with W>H, the vertical NDC space goes from -1 to 1 and the horizontal from -W/H to W/H.

However it was recently pointed out that functionality which deals with screen space inside the camera classes is inconsistent with this. It unintentionally uses align_corners=True. This fixes that.

This would change behaviour of the following:
- If you create a camera in screen coordinates, i.e. setting in_ndc=False, then anything you do with the camera which touches NDC space may be affected, including trying to use renderers. The transform_points_screen function will not be affected...
- If you call the function “transform_points_screen” on a camera defined in NDC space results will be different. I have illustrated in the diff how to get the old results from the new results but this probably isn’t the right long-term solution..

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.
