13:00.05 gioacchino a demand
13:00.35 gioacchino qhen you click on window when you see your project

13:01.35 gioacchino or you can make some action ?
13:01.59 elite01_ wait
13:02.10 elite01_ what window? the one where rendered stuff is in?
13:02.53 elite01_ and what do you mean by "some action"?
13:03.49 gioacchino window

13:05.10 elite01_ ok
13:06.16 gioacchino you can do any action
13:06.32 gioacchino or you can onbly enlarge and contract image ?
13:06.36 elite01_ uuh well i can zoom, resize, move objects, all kinds of stuff
13:06.44 elite01_ if i just click in the middle, it zooms
13:06.51 elite01_ with shift, it moves the viewport
13:08.33 gioacchino hum...
13:08.46 gioacchino form command line how to save a project ?
13:09.12 gioacchino i try with save but when I reopen the project is black
13:10.58 gioacchino mged> exec fbserv
13:10.58 gioacchino couldn't execute "fbserv": no such file or directory
13:11.29 gioacchino I start brl-cad in is folder...
13:11.39 gioacchino and fbserv is in the ls
13:12.13 elite01_ uhm you needn't save
13:12.28 elite01_ just like mged mystuff.g, close mged, do mged mystuff.g, ls - stuff is there again
13:12.33 elite01_ no idea why you don't have fbserv
13:12.38 elite01_ maybe you need to make install
13:12.50 gioacchino mmm
13:12.53 gioacchino I have fbserv
13:12.59 gioacchino but exec not see it
13:13.38 gioacchino I try with all tool in brl folder and it tell
13:13.46 gioacchino no such file for all tool
13:13.49 elite01_ i guess they have to be in $PATH
13:14.14 gioacchino how to add the brl folder to path ?
13:14.25 elite01_ have you done "make install"?
13:14.29 gioacchino yes
13:14.54 elite01_ hmm should "just work" then - will fbserv do something when you just run it in a sh?
13:15.16 gioacchino no
13:15.26 gioacchino because it is in a folder not in path
13:15.41 gioacchino bash: fbserv: command not found
13:15.47 elite01_ shows usage info here
13:15.50 gioacchino but if I
13:16.21 elite01_ maybe i added it myself
13:16.23 gioacchino but if I run /user/brlcad/bin/fbserv it ask a port number
13:16.47 elite01_ then just do that :)
13:17.15 elite01_ or add /usr/brlcad/bin to the $PATH - looks like that isn't done automatically
13:18.37 gioacchino how to add ?
13:19.43 elite01_ add a line like "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/brlcad/bin" to your .bashrc or .bash_profile or something like that
13:21.28 gioacchino it only add this folder or delete the dther folder ?
13:23.02 elite01_ only add that
13:23.07 gioacchino ok
13:23.14 gioacchino I ass it at the bottom
13:23.48 elite01_ yeah
13:25.40 gioacchino wath the difference fro,m
13:25.57 gioacchino X wondow and OGL window?
13:26.10 gioacchino because when I start mged from kde menu'
13:26.22 gioacchino it ave all menu' but it use X window
13:26.53 gioacchino when I run mged from terminal it not have menu but i can use ogl wondow
13:27.00 elite01_ uuh sorry, no idea
13:27.56 ``Erik X and OpenGL are two different API's... I usually use /dev/X
13:28.12 ``Erik why are you trying to explicitely start an FB server?
13:28.34 ``Erik when you run 'rt' in mged, it automatically takes care of all that for you
13:28.46 gioacchino I am a new bie
13:29.01 gioacchino I try to make the cup of manual
13:29.14 ``Erik huh, and they say to run an fbserv? odd
13:29.24 gioacchino yes
13:29.36 gioacchino fbserv before rt
13:29.49 ``Erik um, if you have geometry displayed in your graphical edit window (the line drawing), you can run "rt -F/dev/Xl"
13:30.13 gioacchino one question
13:30.17 ``Erik -F/dev/Xl translates to set the X device as the framebuffer and linger
13:30.24 gioacchino whe I run mged from kde menu
13:30.32 gioacchino it have friendly menus
13:30.39 gioacchino but it not run opengl
13:30.56 ``Erik Chances are that opengl will not buy you anything
13:30.58 gioacchino how to run it with opengl from kdemenu ?
13:31.10 ``Erik it shows wireframe either way
13:31.21 elite01_ uhm need to go for a while, see you later
13:31.34 ``Erik they're not visible different... filled triangles is on the todo list (called "shaded geometry" at the moment)
13:31.50 gioacchino ha
13:31.59 gioacchino X and opengl are the same ?
13:32.07 ``Erik yeah, it sucks, we need to fix it, but we're fighting mgmt on it :)
13:32.12 ``Erik they look the same at the moment
13:32.21 ``Erik they just use different subsystems to draw the lines
13:32.28 gioacchino I was thinf opengl most powerfull because my videocard support it strongly
13:32.35 ``Erik the OGL display is all glBegin(GL_LINE);
13:32.54 gioacchino and how to start with menus from terminal ?
13:32.59 ``Erik if we had shaded display, you'd be right... but we're all wireframe at the moment, so it doesn't really matter :(
13:33.20 ``Erik the menus? you mean the GUI? you have to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your path, then run "mged"
13:33.50 gioacchino I try now
13:34.10 gioacchino ok now work
13:34.19 ``Erik :)
13:34.46 gioacchino before I have use ln -s mged on usr/bin but it start without menu' only the visualization winow
13:35.14 ``Erik hum, mebbe it couldn't find the right tcl parts *shrug*
13:35.18 ``Erik <-- doesn't know
13:35.30 gioacchino mmmmmmm
13:35.39 ``Erik but there are ~400 programs in /usr/brlcad/bin and a lot of buttons in the gui just run "programname"
13:35.49 gioacchino but if I run mged -n the menus isn't
13:35.55 ``Erik so you really do need that directory in the path
13:36.08 gioacchino I have add the directory inb the path
13:36.46 gioacchino thi is echo $PATH/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/brlcad/bin
13:36.50 gioacchino thi is echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/brlcad/bin
13:37.00 ``Erik ok
13:37.13 gioacchino but if /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/brlcad/bin start mged -n the menus isn't
13:37.20 ``Erik except you're echoing it
13:37.22 ``Erik not exporting it
13:37.47 ``Erik unless I misunderstand
13:37.51 gioacchino ok I see bash rc
13:38.13 gioacchino export PATH=$PATH:/usr/brlcad/bin
13:38.24 gioacchino this is the command on bash.rc
13:38.26 ``Erik if it's in your .bashrc, you have to log out and log back in for it to take effect for the menu's... or source it in the term you want to run it from

13:52.48 ``Erik ok, you did "--with-x11", which is asking for WHERE your X11 is installed
13:52.55 gioacchino yes/lib is = /lib
13:53.05 gioacchino and I fix with this
13:53.11 ``Erik if your X11 is in a normal place, like "/usr/X11R6", then you don't need to give it that flag
13:53.22 gioacchino but I not know if /lib is rigth or wrong

13:59.13 ``Erik so you can use librt from java, sorta kinda...
13:59.17 gioacchino [15:58] <``Erik> um, it makes a JNI server thing for raytrace queries
13:59.28 gioacchino now I don't nedd this ?
13:59.48 ``Erik well, for USING the software, no... if you want to program in java using its libraries, maybe

19:05.25 smallfoot- IriX64: http://rafb.net/p/emOqx494.html
19:05.57 smallfoot- IriX64, i found this code on the internets it can list files in the direcotry and stuff like that what you said its like "ls" or "dir"
19:06.30 brlcad IriX64: a cd to whatever path only works when "." is in your path (which it should not be for various reasons) .. better to just type the full path if you want to be sure (e.g. /usr/brlcad/bin/mged)
19:07.05 brlcad gioacchino: to export a rendered image, you raytrace to a .pix file, and then use one of the pix-* converters (e.g. pix-png file.pix > file.png)
19:07.21 gioacchino yes I use this mecanism...
19:07.27 gioacchino but it generated
19:07.34 gioacchino bud confused image...
19:07.52 brlcad pix are raw image files
19:08.01 brlcad so if it's not a 512x512 image, you MUST specify the image dimensions
19:08.37 brlcad -a if you use standard sizes, but I imagine you used the raytrace control panel
19:08.44 brlcad which will be whatever size your window was
19:08.54 gioacchino yes I use raytrace control panel
19:09.06 brlcad you see the size in the raytrace control panel?
19:09.27 gioacchino yes
19:09.30 gioacchino now work!
19:09.32 gioacchino tanks
19:09.37 brlcad type just 'pix-png' with no arguments and you'll see:
19:09.38 brlcad Usage: pix-png [-a] [-w file_width] [-n file_height] [-s square_file_size] [file.pix]

19:13.51 brlcad you don't have to run rt from mged prompt
