00:20.56 starseeker_ output to pix file?
00:26.56 starseeker_ Given that's nonsensical in command line nirt, should it just be a "throwaway" option?
00:27.15 starseeker_ or did you want nirt to optionally generate an mged style wireframe as a pix file?
00:28.39 starseeker_ comes to the belated realization he has no idea how to output a wireframe as a .pix file or even if it can be done...
00:34.26 starseeker_ or we could teach saveview to omit the -o option when nirt is specified...
00:54.02 brlcad i was thinking more that with -o the nirt output or other logging output would go to that file instead of stdout/stderr/bu_log .. the default ".pix" would of course need to change to something more generic (maybe .log)
01:16.10 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r31176 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: (log message trimmed)
01:16.10 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: this has come up so many times over the year, it needs to be documented so it
01:16.10 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: can be eventually worked on. develop a low-level tool for investigating,
01:16.10 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: reporting statistics on, and repairing geometry database files. the tool should
01:16.10 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: nominally perform big/little endian conversions, report number and types of
01:16.12 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: objects, allow deletion/undeletion/hiding/unhiding, provide some general means
01:16.14 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: to manipulate the packed and unpacked .g file data for performing low-level
02:30.01 starseeker_ brlcad: I haven't looked at saveview yet, but would it be hard to conditionalize the suffix based on the command supplied? The command is already one of the arguments to saveview - wouldn't it be a quick comparison?
02:30.20 starseeker_ .log for nirt, .pix for rt, etc...

05:15.54 brlcad starseeker_: sure, probably just if cmd == "rt" then ".pix" else ".log"
05:16.25 brlcad or maybe .out or something generic
05:18.20 brlcad since there are a variety of formats .. rt and rtedge are .pix; rtweight is text; rtcheck is binary or ascii plot data and log output; nirt default is text/log output; etc
05:19.04 brlcad i suppose it could have knowledge of all those and behave accordingly then defaulting to something generic

06:47.47 brlcad starseeker_: aha!
06:49.22 brlcad my recollection was right .. nirt did/does (used to) take commands via -e ... you inadvertently broke that behavior with r31097
06:50.05 brlcad i.e. before that revision, you could run something like: nirt -e "xyz 0 0 1000; dir 0 0 -1; s; q" db/moss.g all.g
06:51.59 brlcad -e was interpreted as a script; -f reads a file, hence the type parameter to enqueue_script
06:59.03 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r31177 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: nirt -e seems to have been busted with r31097

15:01.34 starseeker_ I'll look into it ASAP
15:23.45 starseeker_ I don't see how that could have done it - that rev was just to fix a missing break and change the displayed options - it must be elsewhere

16:57.11 brlcad starseeker_: it basically just did a strcpy before of the script -- now, though, you have it inside the if clause
16:58.19 brlcad i.e. look at the inputs .. the data is in 'string' .. follow where string is put into str for both cases of type == READING_FILE and != READING_FILE
