02:29.02 starseeker_ brlcad: Is there a function in libbu to return all the files in a directory?
02:29.15 starseeker_ Or even better, all files matching a particular suffix?
02:35.25 starseeker_ notes, with some dismay, that dirent.h is present only in src/other/...
02:46.33 starseeker_ Hmm... http://www.cs.fiu.edu/~weiss/cop4338_spr06/dirent.h
02:48.35 louipc that's supposedly part of C POSIX library
02:48.57 starseeker_ Does Windows XP include it?
02:49.08 starseeker_ I'm seeing evidence of many workarounds for the lack of it in Google
02:50.44 louipc I don't know
02:51.54 louipc seems people have ported it
02:52.17 starseeker_ looks for the license on mingw's version...
02:55.15 *** join/#brlcad Twingy (n=justin@74.92.144.217)
03:05.29 starseeker_ looks like mingw's is public domain, if I can find it...
03:09.22 starseeker_ Ah ha - http://mingw.cvs.sourceforge.net/mingw/msys/packages/make/3.81/w32/compat/dirent.c?view=log
03:09.35 starseeker_ http://mingw.cvs.sourceforge.net/mingw/msys/packages/make/3.81/w32/include/dirent.h?view=log
03:10.27 starseeker_ Grr - that says it's gpl though
03:12.22 starseeker_ How can something so simple be so hard... arrgh...
04:03.50 Maloeran You may have to use a couple #ifdef for Posix and win32 for these things, but it's generally simple enough

08:11.56 yukonbob starseeker_: of course the gcc is going to be GPL'd; you may find what you're looking for in a BSD distro, though (ie: checkout NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD directly)

14:52.57 pacman87 got all my grades back, all A's!
14:54.45 pacman87 d_rossberg: re your email, I see why the point + two normal vectors won't work
15:00.07 pacman87 the sketch primitive already has a point, and u/v vectors in the sketch plane. Since the revolve needs to know what sketch it's using, I was thinking about just using the point and one of the vectors to rotate about, and specifying the rotation as an angle from -2pi to 2pi for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation about the vector from the sketch
15:14.07 d_rossberg pacman87: Congratulations! that's really impressive
15:14.43 d_rossberg about the sketch: i see two problems
15:15.22 d_rossberg first, will you keep the sketch as a seoerate element?
15:16.13 d_rossberg second, how do you want to ray trace a revolve from a nurb or bezier?
15:16.44 d_rossberg to do this you need iterative methods
15:17.01 d_rossberg (like in openNURBS)
15:29.31 pacman87 you read my plan to transform the ray to a hyperbola, to reduce the problem to 2D, right
15:31.03 d_rossberg right, but above degree 4 it's hard to compute the roots of a curve
