| 09:18.39 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: you said it's possible to make a cartoon-style pen drawing rendering by overlaying rt and rtedge output by <i_forgot_the_name> command. |
| 09:19.00 | Z80-Boy | But that means calculating twice as long. Is it possible that the output be generated only by a single calculation? |
| 09:25.48 | Maloeran | I wouldn't have expected rtedge to take as long as the raytrace |
| 09:26.09 | Z80-Boy | good |

| 11:56.56 | Maloeran | Does anyone know the origin of this famous picture/video where a man walks in front of a column of tanks and manage to stop it during a military parade? |
| 11:57.06 | Maloeran | Or any other information that might be relevant |
| 12:03.55 | brlcad | eh, that was the infamous Tiananmen Square protest |
| 12:03.59 | brlcad | back in 1989 |
| 12:05.10 | brlcad | Z80-Boy: pixmatte or pixmerge |
| 12:07.46 | Maloeran | Right I got it, thanks |
| 12:10.53 | Maloeran | Seems hard to order a print of this picture in order to frame it |
| 12:17.00 | brlcad | probably because it's copyrighted :) |
| 12:17.05 | brlcad | http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4727787930108202470 |
| 12:17.48 | Maloeran | Well sure, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be possible to pay for it :) |
| 12:20.45 | Maloeran | I guess I'll have to find something else |
| 12:22.53 | brlcad | http://cgi.ebay.com/TIANANMEN-SQUARE-TANKS-CHINA-TANK-MAN-24x34-POSTER_W0QQitemZ190154453851QQcmdZViewItem |
| 12:23.52 | Maloeran | Oh :), looks like I wasn't looking at the right place |
| 12:24.36 | brlcad | http://www.popartuk.com/photography/the-unknown-rebel-pp0893-poster.asp |
| 12:25.31 | brlcad | maybe just what you're searching on, he is known as "tank man" |
| 12:25.38 | Maloeran | I happen to really wonder how I had my keywords wrong |
| 12:25.45 | Maloeran | I tried that too |
| 12:29.55 | Maloeran | Thanks brlcad, I'm getting it shipped |
| 12:31.17 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: could you please advise on the problem I have with saving the config file? |
| 12:45.30 | brlcad | Z80-Boy: I did, day before yesterday.. probabaly a recently introduced problem (like as of last week) |
| 12:45.59 | brlcad | remember that you're working off of head now, you've got the latest .. and I think that problem seems related from what you said it was complaining about (z clipping) |
| 12:46.20 | brlcad | test would be to revert the zclipping change and see if that makes a difference |
| 12:46.45 | brlcad | i'll have to dig through the changelog to see what exactly that change was |
| 12:52.57 | Z80-Boy | Do you think the videos would look better if rtedge-style contours were overlaid over the picture? |
| 13:09.08 | ``Erik | ('cept with tank dude, he was drug into the crowds by onlookers and thousands of people died in chinas response to a peaceful hunger strike) |
| 13:20.07 | ``Erik | z80: there are a few options, I don't think you'd like any of 'em... 1) raytrace both the image and the rtedge copy and merge 'em 2) raytrace the image and pass the output through a sorbel filter (like in imagemagick or gimp) and compose them, 3) write a new shader that does it for ya |
| 13:20.50 | ``Erik | cell shader might be a fun project *scratches chin* |
| 14:04.58 | Z80-Boy | I have set compile flags CFLAGS to -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium3 -pipe |
| 14:05.11 | *** join/#brlcad Elperion (n=Bary@p548755B2.dip.t-dialin.net) | |
| 14:05.12 | Z80-Boy | Does it take effect during brl-cad compilation or does BRL-CAD set it's own optimizer flags? |
| 14:05.22 | Z80-Boy | I have a feeling that the rendering is very slow |
| 14:08.04 | Z80-Boy | Is there a man rt? |
| 14:09.04 | ``Erik | yes |
| 14:09.12 | ``Erik | there is a manpage |
| 14:09.16 | Z80-Boy | man rt, brlman rt - nothing |
| 14:09.37 | ``Erik | and um, unless you do --enable-optimized, CFLAGS will be respected |
| 14:09.57 | ``Erik | actually, CFLAGS will still be repected, but enable-optimized glues most stuff to it like -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer ... |
| 14:10.07 | ``Erik | MANPATH=/usr/brlcad/share/man man rt |
| 14:10.26 | ``Erik | erm, that's bourne style, uh, I dunno how to do it in csh |
| 14:10.27 | Z80-Boy | so there are already 3 different methods to get a manpage |
| 14:10.33 | ``Erik | well |
| 14:10.40 | ``Erik | man searches $MANPATH |
| 14:10.55 | ``Erik | so adding /usr/brlcad/share/man to the MANPATH is how to make normal man work |
| 14:11.07 | ``Erik | <-- doesn't use brlman, which I THINK just adds to MANPATH and calls man |
| 14:12.41 | Z80-Boy | When I add /usr/brlcad/share/man to /etc/man.conf, it still doesn't work |
| 14:12.49 | Z80-Boy | Maloeran: is there a faster rt? |
| 14:12.59 | ``Erik | indeed, brlman is a simple shell script, heh |
| 14:13.03 | Z80-Boy | does it use linked lists to search for the primitives? |
| 14:13.05 | Maloeran | Well, mine's quite fast but it's not integrated into BRL-CAD |
| 14:13.05 | ``Erik | that adds stuff to MANPATH |
| 14:13.27 | ``Erik | yours doesn't do the large set of implicite primitives nor csg operations, mal... :) |
| 14:13.40 | Maloeran | Pft, long live triangles! :) |
| 14:13.47 | ``Erik | hehehe |
| 14:14.04 | Maloeran | 50-100fps on raytracing is still amusing |
| 14:14.09 | ``Erik | ok, lets model a sphere and see who gets more accurate results and a smaller data file :) |
| 14:14.11 | Z80-Boy | You cannot make a cylinder, torus, sphere, ellipsoid, paraboloid or cone from triangles no matter how many triangles you use. |
| 14:15.00 | Maloeran | You can get close enough so that the fact that triangles are used has no impact on the rendering |
| 14:15.10 | Maloeran | You would still use CSG, just convert to triangles for rendering |
| 14:15.11 | ``Erik | oh, and lets talk engineering precision, not visual precision, we can talk about accepting 10 micrometers of error on a motor vehicle sized thing :) |
| 14:15.31 | ``Erik | because, y'know, we want it for engineering purposes, not just pretty pictures |
| 14:16.14 | Maloeran | I never really got into the weird curved triangle surfaces I described long ago, it would have been nice for raytracing |
| 14:16.36 | Maloeran | Reasonably fast to intersect for rays, much more friendly to describe curved surfaces |
| 14:17.00 | Z80-Boy | for that I need to figure out the lights |
| 14:17.17 | Z80-Boy | and that means again finding out that everything I stumble upon is insufficiently documented to be able to work with |
| 14:17.32 | ``Erik | didja get the rt manpage up? |
| 14:17.36 | Z80-Boy | no |
| 14:17.42 | Z80-Boy | only with explicit prefix |
| 14:17.43 | ``Erik | where is brlcad installed to? |
| 14:17.47 | ``Erik | oh, so you did, heh |
| 14:17.50 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad |
| 14:18.04 | Z80-Boy | no I don't want to type half a line prefix every time I run man |
| 14:18.16 | Z80-Boy | everything in the system works on man, only BRL-CAD is a specialty |
| 14:18.23 | ``Erik | take a look at the brlman script, it SHOULD stay 'MANPATH="/usr/brlcad/man"' somewhere in it? |
| 14:18.30 | ``Erik | and, uh, you can set the environment variable |
| 14:18.46 | ``Erik | setenv MANPATH $MANPATH:/usr/brlcad/share/man # for csh |
| 14:18.53 | Maloeran | Ah, it's horrible. You must begin to find me annoying with that, but I'm still unable to focus, think and work, love has completely messed up my mind |
| 14:18.57 | Z80-Boy | but brlman rt doesn't work |
| 14:18.58 | ``Erik | export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/brlcad/share/man # for sh |
| 14:19.31 | ``Erik | your brlman may be ... odd... did you move your install? it's a pretty simple shell script |
| 14:19.48 | ``Erik | mebbe you don't have awf? |
| 14:20.15 | ``Erik | oh, shoot, I brought my parallels cd back, so I can reinstall it and run obsd41 again, I'll try to take a look at it :D lemme go get it out of my car |
| 14:20.16 | Z80-Boy | wihcclock@kestrel:~$ awf |
| 14:20.16 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad/bin/awf: must specify -ms or -man |
| 14:20.35 | ``Erik | um |
| 14:20.37 | Z80-Boy | the brlman script is somehow complicated inside |
| 14:20.51 | ``Erik | complicated? O.o |
| 14:20.57 | Z80-Boy | does it work on your OpenBSD? |
| 14:21.07 | Z80-Boy | it looks for |
| 14:21.12 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad/share/brlcad/7.10.3/man |
| 14:21.12 | ``Erik | I dunno, it's a vm and I need to reinstall the vm software to start it |
| 14:21.15 | Z80-Boy | ${path_to_this}/../share/brlcad/7.10.3/man |
| 14:21.19 | Z80-Boy | ${path_to_this}/../man |
| 14:21.23 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad/share/brlcad/7.10.3/man |
| 14:21.27 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad/man |
| 14:21.42 | Z80-Boy | what's the point of having brlcad twice on the path? |
| 14:21.55 | ``Erik | and what does "find /usr/brlcad/ -name rt.1" tell you? |
| 14:22.10 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad/share/man/man1/rt.1 |
| 14:22.21 | ``Erik | iiiinteresting |
| 14:22.28 | ``Erik | your brlman is broken, wonder how that happened |
| 14:22.34 | Z80-Boy | brlman rt mdoesn't do anything |
| 14:23.05 | Z80-Boy | I just downloaded 1.10.3 from CVS compiled installed |
| 14:23.15 | Z80-Boy | before that I deleted /usr/brlcad to make sure there isn't anything left over |
| 14:23.50 | Z80-Boy | What I don't understand is why man doesn't work when I add that directory to man.conf |
| 14:25.31 | ``Erik | <-- not sure, perhaps it's cached somewhere? do ya need to rebuild the whatis db or something? |
| 14:26.02 | Z80-Boy | man man.conf doesn't contain the word "rebuild" |
| 14:27.44 | Z80-Boy | Still doesn't work |
| 14:27.56 | ``Erik | interesting |
| 14:28.21 | ``Erik | is it read on login? if you ssh into your own box or hop down to a vc and do a fresh login, does it work? |
| 14:28.52 | Z80-Boy | clock@kestrel:~$ ssh clock@localhost |

| 14:29.15 | Z80-Boy | The sole purpose of this message is to make sure people will ignore a man in the middle attack in the case it really happens |
| 14:29.24 | ``Erik | heh, regenerated sshd keys since you last logged into yourself, aapparently |
| 14:30.02 | Z80-Boy | if this happens I delete ~/.ssh/known_hosts and always enter "yes" without even looking at the fingerprint |
| 14:30.30 | Z80-Boy | If ssh was designed to be secure, they would make sure man in the middle attack is reported only when the key doesn't match and not every other day. |
| 14:30.45 | Z80-Boy | No, it doesn't work even through ssh. |
| 14:30.56 | ``Erik | what's "manpath" tell you? |
| 14:31.09 | Z80-Boy | bash: manpath: command not found |
| 14:31.33 | ``Erik | huh |
| 14:31.47 | ``Erik | <-- fbsd user, not obsd... :) |
| 14:33.10 | ``Erik | ffs, stupid fucking corporate image fucking bullshit... brb |
| 14:56.31 | ``Erik | *yawn* |
| 14:56.56 | brlcad | Z80-Boy: it probably would look better, usually does (rtedge overlay) |
| 14:57.43 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: any idea, why my "brlman rt" doesn't work, and why I cannot save the config file? |
| 14:57.56 | Z80-Boy | Can the CVS code be in an inconsistent state? |
| 14:58.04 | ``Erik | BRLCAD_ROOT and BRLCAD_PREFIX were expanded wrong in generating brlman |
| 14:58.26 | ``Erik | <-- sorta kinda seen similar differences in expansion on fbsd, is checking out a fresh cvs copy on obsd41 now |
| 14:58.36 | Z80-Boy | ``Erik: cool |
| 14:58.57 | ``Erik | yes |
| 14:59.33 | ``Erik | sucks, cuz every day I want to use it, I have to install, reboot, let it upgrade, reboot again, THEN I can use it |
| 15:01.41 | brlcad | Z80-Boy: damn, I've answered you three times on the config file now... :) |
| 15:01.43 | Z80-Boy | looks like brlman <anything> doesn't work |
| 15:01.48 | Z80-Boy | It definitely worked before |
| 15:01.54 | brlcad | it's a recent problem .. probably VERY recent |
| 15:02.12 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: what were the previous 2 answers? Also "damn"? :) |
| 15:02.20 | brlcad | just has to be looked at, and nobody has looked at it yet |
| 15:02.25 | Z80-Boy | aha |
| 15:02.33 | ``Erik | sed -i.bak 's,brlcad/7.10.3/,,' /usr/brlcad/bin/brlman |
| 15:02.36 | ``Erik | *cough* |
| 15:02.47 | brlcad | damn frustrating that you've asked the same thing three time and ignored or missed my responses each time to which I answered |
| 15:02.51 | Z80-Boy | sed: unknown option -- i |
| 15:02.57 | ``Erik | wow, obsd sucks |
| 15:03.02 | Z80-Boy | I don't remember I got the response |
| 15:03.08 | brlcad | exactly my point |
| 15:03.33 | ``Erik | mv /usr/brlcad/bin/brlman /tmp/ && sed s,brlcad/7.10.3/,, /tmp/brlman > /usr/brlcad/bin/brlman && rm /tmp/brlman |
| 15:03.48 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: is there a command I could write manually into the .mgedrc to turn model space axes on in all 4 multipanes? |
| 15:03.59 | brlcad | also, the manpath issue really is just a basic system setup problem -- brlman should also work, but so should man |
| 15:04.05 | Z80-Boy | looks like .mgedrc consists of commands |
| 15:04.12 | brlcad | there's absolutely nothing special about the manpath that is special to brl-cad |
| 15:04.20 | brlcad | it's just another path like any other |
| 15:04.49 | Z80-Boy | does it mean it's not a bug of BRL-CAD? |
| 15:05.06 | ``Erik | for using 'man'? no, it's an issue with openbsd's man, probably user error |
| 15:05.10 | brlcad | that brlman doesn't work is a problem in brlman, yes |
| 15:05.14 | ``Erik | brlman not working IS our stick, though |
| 15:05.18 | brlcad | but that man doesn't, heck no .. that's a problem between you and your OS |
| 15:05.22 | brlcad | pebkac |
| 15:05.49 | brlcad | already noted |
| 15:06.02 | ``Erik | c'mon, dude, you use obsd, you should know more than the average clueless linux dork ;) *duck* |
| 15:06.07 | brlcad | it works here, so it's gotta be something obsd specific I'm guessing |
| 15:06.26 | ``Erik | well, it relates to something I saw on fbsd |
| 15:06.30 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: there are things like "set mged_default(max_text_lines) 10000" -> is there something like "set multipane(all_windows)"? |
| 15:06.34 | brlcad | fire up ssh access again, and I"ll look at it |
| 15:06.47 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: evening |
| 15:06.47 | ``Erik | remember when I was asking if you'd mucked with the datadir ? |
| 15:06.51 | ``Erik | <-- running his obsd vm |
| 15:06.57 | ``Erik | <-- looking into it right now... *cough* |
| 15:07.01 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: now I am behing the No Access Translator |
| 15:07.46 | brlcad | whenever, there's just only so much that can be done when the problem seems to be limited to just that environment .. what were your configure options? |
| 15:08.09 | Z80-Boy | no options just ./configure |
| 15:11.32 | brlcad | then yeah, probably just some shell assumption in the brlman script .. what does "which awf" report? |
| 15:11.58 | ``Erik | heh |
| 15:12.02 | ``Erik | scroll up, brlcad |
| 15:12.06 | ``Erik | we already know the issue |
| 15:12.28 | brlcad | we do? |
| 15:12.49 | ``Erik | yes, BRLCAD_DATA was expanded weird, perhaps between two seperate configure runs |
| 15:13.08 | brlcad | oh, the share/man |
| 15:13.14 | ``Erik | in his installed brlman, he has MANPATH=/usr/brlcad/share/brlcad/7.10.3/man and his man files are in /usr/brlcad/share/man/ |
| 15:15.55 | Z80-Boy | clock@kestrel:~$ which awf |
| 15:15.55 | Z80-Boy | /usr/brlcad/bin/awf |
| 15:16.46 | Z80-Boy | can you please turn on axes in multipane, save the .mgedrc and then find the magical command in .mgedrc which turns the multipanes on? |
| 15:17.21 | brlcad | you can be really impatient, you know that? :) |
| 15:17.32 | brlcad | do you want me to look at the brlman thing, or the multipane thing? |
| 15:17.46 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: don't you remember the command by hart? |
| 15:18.00 | brlcad | hah, of course not |
| 15:18.32 | ``Erik | <-- already on the brlman thing... O.o |
| 15:18.32 | Z80-Boy | is there some list of these commands somewhere? |
| 15:18.34 | brlcad | if I knew it by heart, don't you think I would have said something an hour ago when you first mentioned it? :) |
| 15:18.46 | Z80-Boy | no |
| 15:18.53 | brlcad | or half-hour, whenver it was |
| 15:19.09 | brlcad | well, i would have |
| 15:19.19 | Z80-Boy | sometimes I get an impression that you cannot process things fast enough from me and skip some of them |
| 15:19.25 | brlcad | you can't keep a million lines in context *all* the time |
| 15:19.52 | ``Erik | <-- lucky to keep 4 :D |
| 15:20.51 | brlcad | Z80-Boy: I DO skip them.. when you start complaining about a new issue. if you don't I'm still working on the problem or something that I was working on before you reported the issue |
| 15:20.59 | ``Erik | (building automake shtuff on obsd41, has a fresh cvs co to test this crap on) |
| 15:21.05 | brlcad | all a matter of priorities.. I can't just drop everything when you can't figure out how to set your own MANPATH ;) |
| 15:22.08 | Z80-Boy | lol :) |
| 15:23.43 | brlcad | ``Erik: I suspect it's just a matter of default manpath (in Makefile, after configure) is set to prefix/man instead of datadir/man .. quick fix should be to just add a search dir for BRLCAD_ROOT/man to brlman.in |
| 15:24.24 | brlcad | as well as 'maybe' set mandir when datadir is changed in configure.ac .. dunno, that seems kinda error prone |
| 15:24.26 | ``Erik | possibly, let me get a full-on build on obsd... last time, I just copied the directory from fbsd, so I didn't have all the auto crap in |
| 15:24.35 | ``Erik | and I'm seeing... interesting behavior out of autogen.sh right now :) |
| 15:24.58 | brlcad | oh? ran fine for me on z80's obsd |
| 15:25.12 | ``Erik | yes, he has some stuff set up that I don't |
| 15:25.31 | ``Erik | <--- starting from a bare install with default environment |
| 15:26.19 | brlcad | oh right, it does search brlcad_root/man already .. it's not just prefix/man .. default must be something like pkg_datadir/man or something |
| 15:27.02 | brlcad | well, I did have to set the env vars that the autoconf/automake scripts bitched about, but that was pretty benign |
| 15:27.12 | ``Erik | that's what I'm looking at |
| 15:27.29 | ``Erik | you have the variables set in autogen.sh, but you comment "2.52 or better", and never checkk for "better" |
| 15:28.32 | ``Erik | bleh, I'll just set the variables and move on :) |
| 15:28.56 | brlcad | hm? it does a minimum check |
| 15:29.41 | ``Erik | "AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9 AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.59 LIBTOOL_VERSION=1.5.22 ./autogen.sh" works, ./autogen.sh does not, complains that it cannot find autoconf |
| 15:30.21 | brlcad | setting the env vars is imposed by the obsd wrappers, there's not really any way to compensate -- they don't report a version, so autogen.sh can't identify them as autoconf |
| 15:30.28 | Z80-Boy | ``Erik: yes on OBSD you have set these annoying variables before calling any auto-crap tool |
| 15:30.31 | brlcad | from the scripts perspective, that is not autoconf, and it's right |
| 15:30.46 | brlcad | it's a wrapper .. and that wrapper doesn't work until the var is set |
| 15:31.00 | ``Erik | freebsd used to require calling them at autoconf259 and automake19 before they pulled their heads out of their asses, heh |
| 15:31.11 | Z80-Boy | lol |
| 15:32.36 | ``Erik | now they have wrappers that search for 'best version' if not being told which to use |
| 15:32.53 | brlcad | I thought about whether there was anything automatic that can be done for the vars, like try auto-setting AUTOCONF_VERSION=minimum_version_here .. and reinvoking autogen.sh for the user, but that won't work -- the wrapper expects that specific version |
| 15:33.27 | brlcad | so you'd have to do a locate or have a table of possibilities, and that's nfg |
| 15:35.57 | brlcad | last mult |
| 15:36.11 | ``Erik | /bin/ls `which automake`-* | sort -n | tail -n 1 | sed 's/.*-//' |
| 15:36.26 | Z80-Boy | 1.9 |
| 15:36.32 | brlcad | yeah, that seems exceptionally "nfg" to me :) |
| 15:36.39 | ``Erik | heh, that was for brlcad, not you, clock :) |
| 15:37.05 | Z80-Boy | But it works even on OpenBSD, which is impressive. |
| 15:37.06 | brlcad | maybe if another OS does the same thing |
| 15:37.54 | Z80-Boy | ``Erik: into which script would this autodetect code have to go? |
| 15:38.06 | Z80-Boy | autogen? configure? |
| 15:38.13 | brlcad | autogen.sh |
| 15:38.15 | ``Erik | I'd imagine autogen.sh, but brlcad doesn't like it, so *shrug* obsd suffers for being an outlyer |
| 15:38.35 | Z80-Boy | but that's because I ran autogen.sh on OpenBSD? |
| 15:38.43 | brlcad | it's also not "the obsd way" .. they apparently want their users to set those env vars |
| 15:38.50 | ``Erik | n/m some of the horrors in the code to just support irix, or just support unicos :D |
| 15:38.54 | Z80-Boy | If the developer ran it on Linux, made a sharp version I loaded the sharp versionf rom a .tgz and compiled, then it would work, right? |
| 15:39.21 | brlcad | ``Erik: except NONE of them to date resort to scanning the filesystem or relying on things like makewhatis |
| 15:39.23 | ``Erik | yes, if you ran autogen.sh on linux, it'd "just work", same for most os's |
| 15:39.34 | Z80-Boy | Or could the script say "autoconf not foung please make sure that if you type autoconf you get autoconf running, on OpenBSD you have to set up some obscure variables"? |
| 15:40.38 | brlcad | I thought about adding the same searching for freebsd when they would install the bin/autoconf-* without the symlinks .. but in the end the user really still needs to add that symlink regardless |
| 15:41.22 | Z80-Boy | Does the autogen.sh require that "autoconf" runs Autoconf and not some bloody script that prints an error message? |
| 15:41.24 | ``Erik | but fbsd has 8 users, that's a lot more than the 3 of obsd ;) *duck* |
| 15:41.30 | Z80-Boy | lol :) |

| 15:43.28 | brlcad | s/n g/ng / |
| 15:44.50 | ``Erik | no, I think there has to be some form of scan, either by looking at ${PREFIX}/bin/automake-* or /var/db/pkg/automake* and searching for a 'sufficient' version :/ |
| 15:45.09 | Z80-Boy | But I had the variables set |
| 15:45.29 | ``Erik | obsd's wrappers do not perscribe to the princeple of least surprise. |
