10:21.39 slackaddict Hi. I can't for the life of me view any .pix images on Slackware, any ideas?
10:22.10 *** join/#brlcad cobbaut (n=50c9b6f1@bz.bzflag.bz)
10:22.41 cobbaut goodmorning
10:23.11 slackaddict morning
10:23.15 cobbaut i started a humble attempt to create an "mged tutorial by example"
10:23.32 cobbaut it is downloadable here http://cobbaut.be/byExample.pdf
10:24.02 cobbaut please tell me what you think (and correct mistakes, since i'm not native english)
10:25.03 debianaddict ;-)
10:26.43 slackaddict cobbault: I'm just having a look at your tutorial, looks good ao far
10:27.33 cobbaut thx
10:27.56 slackaddict cobbault: can you view the .pix images on debian?
10:28.15 cobbaut what .pix images ?
10:30.16 cobbaut hmm...gimp doesn't open them
10:30.44 slackaddict if you do a raytrace of a model and output to a file I think its always .pix format
10:31.12 slackaddict ...at least I haven't found a way of outputting to a different format
10:31.44 slackaddict I've tried gimp, but it says it can't read any of the files
10:36.46 cobbaut i take screenshots of the raytrace...
10:38.57 slackaddict thats a good idea...I was trying to output images from rtwizard
10:40.36 cobbaut i tried outputting to postscript, but the image is always very small and in a corner of the postscriptpage
10:41.06 cobbaut btw, i'm a brlcad newbie
10:42.19 slackaddict I'm pretty new too
10:43.17 slackaddict ...but I have quite a bit of experience with 3d modelling
10:52.29 slackaddict cobbaut: lol i just noticed i've been writing your name wrong, sorry about that :-)
10:59.13 cobbaut happens a lot...
10:59.28 cobbaut i don't find a way to open .pix :(
11:00.20 slackaddict me too :(
11:01.30 slackaddict i don't know if its all .pix images or if brl-cad is outputting corrucpted ones
12:39.21 slackaddict I have posted a question about my .pix image problem in the help forum at sourceforge, now its time for lunch.........

13:42.32 brlcad_ cobbaut: brl-cad .pix images are first quadrant raw images
13:43.28 brlcad_ there are a whole suite of tools in brl-cad for viewing/manipulating pix files, e.g. pix-fb -F/dev/Xl somefile.pix
13:43.59 brlcad_ since they are raw, you have to provide the image dimensions if the pix image is something other than the default of 512x512
13:45.10 brlcad_ to open a raw in gimp, rename the file to .raw and/or select raw in gimp providing the image dimenions when prompted (same goes for photoshop), you'll then need to flip the image horizontally and vertically as they both work on fourth quadrant images

15:29.48 cobbaut brlcad: actually it was slackaddict who wanted to see .pix files, but thx for the info anyway

21:33.07 brlcad cobbaut: yep, more just informational
21:33.33 brlcad you can also output to file and simulataneously display, e.g. use the -o file.pix and -F/dev/Xl together for example
