Example DB walk tree
This is a simple example program that shows how to walk a geometry database while performing some operation on geometry as it is encountered. In this particular example, we iterate just over regions and simply count them:
#include "common.h"
#include "raytrace.h"
int incr_region(
struct db_tree_state *tsp,
struct db_full_path *pathp,
const struct rt_comb_internal *combp,
void *data)
{
int *counter = (int*)data;
bu_log("...incrementing...\n");
(*counter)++;
return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
struct db_i *dbip;
int counter = 0;
struct db_tree_state state = rt_initial_tree_state;
if (argc < 2) {
bu_exit(0, "need more, db.g obj\n");
}
dbip = db_open(argv[1], "r");
if (dbip == NULL) {
bu_exit(1, "Unable to open %s\n", argv[1]);
}
if (db_dirbuild(dbip) < 0) {
db_close(dbip);
bu_exit(1, "Unable to load %s\n", argv[1]);
}
bu_log("Database title is:\n%s\n", dbip->dbi_title);
//bu_log("Units: %s\n", bu_units_string(dbip->dbi_local2base));
if (db_lookup(dbip, argv[2], 1) == NULL) {
db_close(dbip);
bu_exit(1, "Unable to find %s\n", argv[2]);
}
state.ts_dbip = dbip;
state.ts_resp = &rt_uniresource;
rt_init_resource( &rt_uniresource, 0, NULL );
db_walk_tree(dbip, 1, (const char **)argv+2, 1, &state, incr_region, NULL, NULL, &counter);
bu_log("counter is %d\n", counter);
return 0;
}
If we compile this program and run it on a sample geometry database, we get the following:
# you may need to replace /usr/brlcad with the path to where BRL-CAD is installed on your system $ gcc -o db_walk_tree_example -I/usr/brlcad/include -I/usr/brlcad/include/brlcad db_walk_tree_example.c -L/usr/brlcad/lib -lrt -lbu $ ./db_walk_tree_example db/ktank.g tank Database title is: Keith's Tank ...incrementing... <... trimmed output ...> ...incrementing... counter is 83
