13:03.24 csanyipal Hi,
13:03.49 csanyipal I try to insert ebm in to the model with MGED.
13:04.28 csanyipal I have an image saved from the GIMP as .xbm file
13:05.38 csanyipal I saved it as X10 bit format.
13:06.16 csanyipal I can to open this file with an editor and can to see there in the file numbers.
13:07.23 csanyipal The numbers are eg.: 0xffff, 0x03ff, 0x7fff, etc.
13:10.11 *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=omg@unaffiliated/elite01)
13:11.32 csanyipal When I type the following command at mged> prompt: in szoveg1.s ebm brl-cad.xbm 100 20 40
13:12.03 csanyipal I get only an arb8 shape and not a text: BRL-CAD.
13:12.22 csanyipal Can anybody help me with this?
13:29.20 csanyipal When I add in the abowe mentioned command the real bitmap width and hight than I get an error message:
13:29.32 csanyipal rt_ebm_import() file 'brl-cad.xbm' is too short 101097 < 192708
13:29.32 csanyipal rt_db_external5_to_internal5(szoveg1.s): import failure
13:29.32 csanyipal db_recurse() rt_db_get_internal(szoveg1.s) FAIL
13:45.35 mafm bye
13:54.21 brlcad csanyipal: set your country?
13:55.05 brlcad if anyone really cares, a quick search on your IP indicates somewhere around/in Serbia .. you mean on irc or in mged? :)
13:56.09 brlcad csanyipal: that's the same as I said before -- that's not the right file format, it's not an xbm (but that was a much better guess than a bmp)
13:56.57 brlcad did you try using the sample png I gave you? try the png-bw on it? and try creating an ebm with that
14:12.15 *** join/#brlcad geocalc (n=geocalc@lns-bzn-31-82-252-223-155.adsl.proxad.net)
15:28.48 csanyipal brlcad: for the country question: it's been posted here by my mistake.
15:29.12 csanyipal brlcad: finally, I have success with ebm! :)
15:31.07 csanyipal brlcad: I'm using the sample png You give me. Tried png-bw on it. Then tried creating an ebm with that..
15:31.31 csanyipal brlcad: and finally I have success.
15:33.22 csanyipal brlcad: It seems to me that that I must to type the real width and the real hight of the png in the command for inserting ebm.
15:44.43 csanyipal brlcad: well, I made a png image wit a X character, and image has white background and black foreground.
15:45.22 csanyipal brlcad: with this png I get in MGED the X ebm, but also that X char is in an arb8.
15:46.28 csanyipal brlcad: So it seems to me that that I must to edit this png in GIMP so I get the black background and white foreground and try with that png..
15:48.55 brlcad yes, the ebm has to match the image dimensions, not the 3D dimensions you want to end up with
15:49.14 csanyipal brlcad: And finally, I get the X character as I wish!!
15:49.19 brlcad great :)
15:50.02 brlcad and yeah, values are zero->nothing, nonzero->geometry
15:50.13 csanyipal brlcad: Thanks again!!

22:37.08 csanyipal I made it: http://brlcad.org/wiki/EBM#Inserting_ebm_in_MGED

22:39.12 brlcad csanyipal: fantastic :)

22:42.55 Ralith well, nothing compares to an enjoyable well-paying job
22:43.34 brlcad love what you do, find someone to pay you to do what you love, be one of the best at what you do .. makes a lot of things possible ;)
22:43.52 Ralith I can only hope to do the same someday
22:43.58 brlcad yeah, I'm not a gearhead to say the least .. all of my previous cars have been crap and I drive them into the ground
22:45.22 brlcad but this car is a lot like code optimization, just got around to optimizing my transportation
22:45.58 ries2 brlcad: I do the same... I have a car I like very much myself (A grand cherokee limited V8)
22:46.15 ries2 a lotus here in Ecuador wouldn't do much joy here ... I wouldn't even get home with it !!!!

22:58.00 csanyipal I have the EBM tutorial in the DocBook.xml format now, but this page hasn't css page..
23:00.08 csanyipal If you think that that this tutorial is useful to include it in to a brl-cad release than I will send it..

23:01.09 csanyipal OK how to send it together with three images?
