hmm.. I am trying to export a single shape
database to ascii, but I can't seem to find the file. Is there
anything special I should know about this? |
00:59.15 |
Daytona |
the mged export asks for a file name, is that
how you did it? |
01:00.21 |
nmh_2Grajw |
Daytona: yeah (the menu and dialog box). I
tried "test.asc" , "/tmp/test.asc" and others |
01:01.28 |
Daytona |
another way to do it is from the command line:
g2asc file.g file.asc |
01:03.33 |
nmh_2Grajw |
Daytona: hmm, now I feel dumb. I tried g2asc
and (thought it didn't work) I just went to doublecheck and I have
test.asc sitting right there in the directory. |
01:04.54 |
Daytona |
I just tried saving from mged and it worked
for me. The asc file appeared in thwe same directory where I
started mged |
01:05.42 |
nmh_2Grajw |
Daytona: yeah, that is what I see now.
Thanks! |
01:05.52 |
Daytona |
you're welcome |
01:07.57 |
nmh_2Grajw |
continuing with the easy stuff - when I click
the mouse button in the graphics window, the view zooms out -
changing stuff in the mouse behavior menu doesn't change this. Is
there an easy way for me to fix this? |
01:10.30 |
CIA-33 |
BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30571
10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: dbconcat verified, seems to work like a charm

01:10.52 |
Daytona |
the settings->Mouse Behavior menu mostly
applies to middle button clicks |
01:13.39 |
Daytona |
In fact, I think it only applies to middle
button |
01:14.27 |
nmh_2Grajw |
Daytona: I guess I will just be careful, since
I only have one mouse button. |
01:15.12 |
Daytona |
Yes, the interface is designed for a 3 button
mouse |
01:15.27 |
brlcad |
heya Daytona |
01:15.45 |
Daytona |
yo |
01:16.16 |
brlcad |
nmh_2Grajw: the mouse bindings as they are are
called the "shift grips", you can get different behaviors depending
on whether you're clicking with various modifiers pressed as
well |
01:17.02 |
Daytona |
Yes, perhaps brlcad can provide advice for
users with a one button mouse? |
01:17.05 |
brlcad |
I presume you're on a mac -- if you cmd-click,
it should emulate the same event as a left-click |
01:17.26 |
brlcad |
likewise, option-click will give you
middle-mouse |
01:17.51 |
Daytona |
I knew brlcad would know about those
macs |
01:17.55 |
brlcad |
(cmd == the command key, i.e. the key with the
apple on it) |

brlcad |
heh |
01:19.21 |
nmh_2Grajw |
neato (getting something useful out of the
mouse) |
01:19.30 |
brlcad |
shift-control-click will give you dynamic
zoom, shift-click will pan, ctrl-option-click will rotate |
01:20.34 |
brlcad |
control-option-click is probably what you're
used to, if anything |
01:21.02 |
nmh_2Grajw |
yes, control-option-click == click, it
seems |
01:22.00 |
brlcad |
control-option-click(and hold depressed while
moving the cursor) |
01:23.57 |
brlcad |
ah, sorry, made that more complicated -- it's
the same as just control-click(keep depressed and move
cursor) |
01:32.43 |
nmh_2Grajw |
ooc, how important is white space in the ascii
database files? (does each put need to be on a single line, or
could I have each vertex on its own line?) |
01:33.32 |
Daytona |
The ascii file is just a Tcl script, so it
follows the same syntax |
01:35.49 |
Daytona |
you can extend to another line by escaping the
newline |
01:36.41 |
nmh_2Grajw |
ahh, good to know (both the Tcl and the
newline) |

04:14.11 |

it's probably the one i'd be best at |
04:14.18 |

did you make clean or just make? |
04:17.39 |
pacman87 |
make |
04:17.41 |
brlcad |
okay |
04:17.45 |
brlcad |
so that saved you some time |
04:17.54 |
brlcad |
you'll have a mix of optimized and
unoptimized |
04:18.05 |
brlcad |
(which is not a problem) |
04:19.08 |
brlcad |
means you probably only had about 15 minutes
left, your optimized compile is probably about 30-40 minutes it
sounds |
04:19.16 |
pacman87 |
how are the current primitives
handled? |
04:19.20 |
hippieindamakin8 |
hey Sean |
04:19.22 |
brlcad |
unoptimized is probably 15-25 |
04:20.03 |
brlcad |
pacman87: the librt library is the primary
harbor for the primitives -- that's where they are predominantly
defined |
04:20.11 |
brlcad |
src/librt/g_*.c |
04:20.28 |
pacman87 |
ok, i'll start my code reading there |
04:20.41 |
brlcad |
there's a g_*.c for each primitive type with
what should be fairly obvious callbacks |
04:20.54 |
hippieindamakin8 |
hey Sean i wen through some files of
jbrlcad |
04:20.57 |
brlcad |
g_xxx.c is a stubbed version iirc |
04:20.58 |
brlcad |
hey hippieindamakin8 |
04:21.05 |
hippieindamakin8 |
and i seem to get a hang of that problem
statement |
04:21.29 |
brlcad |
hippieindamakin8: after you read through
jbrlcad, compare that to what's going on in src/librt |
04:21.38 |
brlcad |
in the main brlcad module |
04:21.40 |
hippieindamakin8 |
sure |
04:21.59 |
brlcad |
you'll see that there is LOTS of overlap, it's
designed off of the current C api (as we're already rather
modular) |
04:22.21 |
hippieindamakin8 |
i am rt now understand the optimised ray
tracing stuff too :P |
04:22.31 |
hippieindamakin8 |
ok.. |
04:22.55 |
brlcad |
pacman87: the other two places to look are
src/libwdb where there is an mk_*() function for each primitive
type to create them procedurally, and src/mged/typein.c and a few
others have some of the editing/input methods for creating
them |
04:24.50 |
brlcad |
pacman87: you also considering applying to
bz? |
04:25.24 |
pacman87 |
i'm not really sure what i'd do
there |
04:26.12 |
brlcad |
k, just checking |
04:26.27 |
brlcad |
now I realize why your nick was so familiar
though :) |
04:26.35 |
brlcad |
been there since last winter iirc |
04:26.50 |
pacman87 |
right, that's when i started doing
plugins |
04:35.48 |
pacman87 |
hmm, running /usr/brlcad/bin/mged opens the
window and takes 96%cpu to do nothing - no menus open |
05:05.23 |
brlcad |
odd, not seen that before |
05:05.33 |
brlcad |
what version are you using? |
05:05.49 |
pacman87 |
7.12.1 |
05:06.00 |
brlcad |
probably something really recent |
05:06.19 |
brlcad |
related to the non-backgrounding we do
now |
05:06.32 |
brlcad |
or it's actually receiving a constant stream
of events |
05:06.42 |
brlcad |
would have to profile/debug it |
05:07.24 |
pacman87 |
what would you recommend using? |
05:08.10 |
brlcad |
gprof, valgrind, oprofile |
05:08.29 |
brlcad |
gprof is pretty simple, if installed, you
could recompile with --enable-profile |
05:08.43 |
brlcad |
and it'll profile it by default |
05:09.17 |
pacman87 |
man gprof |
05:11.40 |
brlcad |
basically involves adding -pg to the compile
and link lines -- then you just run the binary once it's installed
and it'll dump out a gmon.out file .. then you run gprof
/usr/brlcad/bin/mged in the same dir as that gmon.out file and
it'll generate a report |
05:12.08 |
brlcad |
you could also run mged inside gdb, and just
ctrl-c a few times to see where in the stack trace it is |
05:13.08 |
pacman87 |
i've been telling myself to learn to use a
debugger for a while now, but all of my programs have been small
enough that printf() is sufficient |
05:13.46 |
brlcad |
very useful skill to learn |

05:43.01 |

run "mged -c" .. and select 'nu' .. does that

05:45.11 |

no |
05:45.57 |

i get the standard "mged>" prompt, which
responds normally |
05:48.59 |
brlcad |
okay, that's good |
05:51.29 |
brlcad |
next thing to try, same -c but select
X |
05:53.20 |
pacman87 |
standard "mged>" in terminal, plus a dm_X0
window, and cpu is fine |
05:55.08 |
brlcad |
well that's enough to work on a new primitive

05:55.43 |

05:55.57 |
brlcad |
so mged is non-functional when you start it

05:56.03 |
brlcad |
do the menus respond at all? |
05:56.08 |
pacman87 |
not at all |
05:56.19 |

06:07.59 |
hippieindamakin8 |
firstly it is good enough for
drafting |
06:08.35 |
brlcad |
really think so? I don't get that
feeling |
06:08.47 |
hippieindamakin8 |
very simple and good interface for the

06:09.10 |
hippieindamakin8 |
that is wat i felt.. but yeah.. brlcad is most
optimised |
06:09.41 |
hippieindamakin8 |
it has so far the best real time ray tracing
as i have read |
06:10.25 |
hippieindamakin8 |
pythoncad is good enough for amatuers.. :) all
my projects so far have been done on pythoncad after my freshman

06:12.19 |

the problem is that it cant export to any
standard stuff |
06:12.50 |
hippieindamakin8 |
i meant standard format... wat do u say
brlcad |
06:16.05 |
brlcad |
a very immature project with very little
practical features, but a nice interface and reasonable features
for the start of drafting purposes |

useful gdb commands are "b file:line" or "b
function" to set a breakpoint, "run" to run, "c" to continue, "l"
to list the sources where you're at, "l line" or "l file:line" to
list the sources in a specific place, "p variable" to print it's
value, "up" and "down" to go up and down the call stack |
06:52.37 |
brlcad |
"n" to execute the next statement, "s" to step
'into' a function |
06:52.50 |

i think some of the common ones are summarized
on the manual page iirc |
06:53.08 |

yeah, and it's got a pretty nice 'help'

06:53.50 |

would be impressive |
06:54.28 |

and shouldn't be too hard .. might even be
able to back up in time through the svn revisions and find a
version that was working, find the commit that broke it |

bets it was within the last

we weren't going to distribute binaries for
this .0 release until it was better tested .. and with good reason
seeing that wim encountered problems |

i'm sorry but i'm using linux at home, on
monday i'll be back in my office |

brlcad: I got new GPU today, no more unplanned
reboots (hopefully). My old GeForce 6600 had lost its fan one year
after warranty expired, and my PC was instatenously rebooting once
GPU temperature reached 110 C |
16:54.49 |
cosurgi |
so today I bought fanless graphics card :) the
cheapest one with dual-DVI, GeForce 8600 GT |
16:55.45 |
cosurgi |
That GPU without a fan was a good method to
prevent me from playing games. But it started to interfere with
yade development (I'm using OpenGL there) so finally I had to buy a
new one. |

hey Sean .. this OO stuff is awesome man.. i
am too much interested in this project :) i shall send in a
proposal as soon as i wake up |
19:06.55 |
d_rossberg |
hippieindamakin8: yes, make a claim for this
topic, it makes the discussion easier |
19:08.45 |
d_rossberg |
there are some attempts you can use |
19:16.42 |
hippieindamakin8 |
i have been going through the jbrlcad module
and the librt libraries |
19:17.42 |
hippieindamakin8 |
and i am seriously interested in implementing
the OO geometry APIs. .. some of them have already been implemented
:) |
19:18.07 |
hippieindamakin8 |
d_rossberg : u are a mentor too ? |
19:19.38 |
d_rossberg |
yes |
19:19.48 |
hippieindamakin8 |
naice :) |
19:20.44 |
hippieindamakin8 |
i have kind of figured out how the geometry
has been rendered so far |
19:22.47 |
hippieindamakin8 |
and i would like to code in JAVA itself to
continue to build the module .. i am strongly familiar with both
C++ and JAVA |
19:24.49 |
d_rossberg |
i have written a c++ interface for my
company's purpose, and now we want to implement a full interface as
open source |
19:25.18 |
hippieindamakin8 |
company as in ? |
19:25.59 |
hippieindamakin8 |
at the same time u want to make it object
oriented framework |
19:28.03 |
d_rossberg |
i would recommend to implement a c++ api first
and use this as basis for other languages (e.g. i build a COM
interface to use BRL-CAD in MS Excel) |
19:31.50 |
hippieindamakin8 |
COM interface what is it ? |
19:32.42 |
hippieindamakin8 |
BRLCAD in MS Excel interesting.. wat exactly u
gonna do .. send some csv s or smthing ? |
19:32.52 |
hippieindamakin8 |
COM do u mean the serial port |
19:33.22 |

COM: this was a serious question? |
20:23.18 |
hippieindamakin8 |
i knew that it was called DCOM in linux and
the serial port was called COM port here :( |
20:24.34 |
d_rossberg |
DCOM is the network version of COM (similar to
CORBA) |

if you want to write MS Windows modules COM
maybe a good choice: they can be used im Visual Basic (for
applications too), some commercial CADs are offering a COM
interface too |
