| 00:00.09 | brlcad | at best, you could have an iterator function that is given an iteration state object |
| 00:00.12 | Malyce | I never realised this |
| 00:00.21 | mafm | you can create roughly the same functionality with C structs, but sometimes it's not as clean and usually ppl doesn't work with those idioms in C language |
| 00:00.36 | brlcad | sort of like strsep() .. it's not nearly as clean as just iterator++; |
| 00:00.49 | Malyce | Ease of use. yes, classes are nice |
| 00:01.02 | brlcad | with strsep(), you keep calling strsep and keep feeding it a new (state) pointer |

| 00:01.10 | Malyce | Which is why you want the CoreInterfaces in C++ |
| 00:01.18 | brlcad | we have a C api |
| 00:01.28 | brlcad | the entire point is to provide a new/clean OO C++ API |
| 00:01.37 | Malyce | But, for the unified API, youd rather use C++ |
| 00:01.40 | Malyce | ok |
| 00:01.42 | brlcad | hm? |
| 00:01.47 | Malyce | same thing |
| 00:01.50 | brlcad | there is no 'unified' api |
| 00:02.02 | brlcad | there are the C libs, and this new C++ library |
| 00:02.12 | Malyce | the merging of Coreinterfaces with GeomEngine |
| 00:02.14 | brlcad | the C++ one sits on top of the C ones |
| 00:02.54 | brlcad | well, that's more just a "current state of affairs" .. there are two things that have the exact same goals, but were simply designed by two different devs mostly in isolation |
| 00:03.11 | brlcad | they need to merge simply because they are the same thing -- the differences have to be reconciled |
| 00:04.03 | Malyce | The Tree walker example, is that hypothetical ? |
| 00:04.13 | brlcad | no, we do that sort of thing all the time |
| 00:04.26 | brlcad | you can find dozens of examples of it throughout the brl-cad code |
| 00:04.30 | Malyce | Or, if it works, then don't you already have traversal support ? |
| 00:04.54 | brlcad | we have traversal support in C -- that's the db_walk_tree() function (and there are about 6 others too) |
| 00:05.09 | brlcad | that one in C++ was just implemented like last week |
| 00:05.28 | Malyce | so, you do have traversal support in C++ now ? |
| 00:05.43 | brlcad | the one you just saw... |
| 00:05.58 | Malyce | k, is there anything I can add ? |
| 00:06.13 | brlcad | undoubtedly |
| 00:06.24 | brlcad | again, that code is brand new, hasn't even been reviewed by anyone really |
| 00:06.34 | brlcad | and it's actually longer than the C example |
| 00:06.43 | Malyce | Yes, funnily |
| 00:06.44 | brlcad | that's not right -- something could be improved there I'm sure |
| 00:07.09 | Malyce | I'll add that to my list |
| 00:07.16 | Malyce | anything else that comes to mind ? |
| 00:07.23 | brlcad | to say you're going to work on that would be missing the boat a little bit though -- there's hundreds of pieces of functionality like that in LIBRT that need to be translated to OO C++ API form |
| 00:07.43 | brlcad | you're obviously not going to implement everything |
| 00:08.00 | brlcad | mafm: here!, I can't keep toggling |
| 00:08.08 | brlcad | and it shouldn't be private |
| 00:08.21 | brlcad | doesn't matter if there's something else also being discussed |
| 00:08.36 | mafm | ah ok, sorry :D |
| 00:08.39 | Malyce | But, you need a specific list of goals |
| 00:08.45 | brlcad | Malyce: yes |
| 00:08.53 | Malyce | Saying that I wish to extend Coreinterfaces won't be enough |
| 00:09.06 | Malyce | I'll need more specifics ? |
| 00:09.21 | brlcad | so you could work on cleaning up tree traversal -- to do that I'd suggest looking at those two examples as well as the other iterators in librt .. see how they could be defined best as c++ |
| 00:11.15 | mafm | brlcad: so do I repeat the questions here? |
| 00:11.25 | brlcad | Malyce: probably best is to peruse what librt presently does, what coreInterface presently does, and what the other GS/GE-defined engine does .. then describe those categorical areas of the API -- those categories of API in LIBRT very likely correspond to objects in C++ |
| 00:11.27 | mafm | the 1st one was already posted in this channel |
| 00:11.42 | brlcad | the basic structs in C mostly correspond to C++ classes nearly 1-1 |
| 00:12.02 | brlcad | mafm: yes, the discussion log would be useless for others otherwise |
| 00:12.17 | brlcad | what was the first question? |
| 00:12.26 | mafm | brlcad, from your ideas list: Create a 3D geometry browser graphical interface using a common graphics engine (e.g. OGRE, Open Scene Graph, Crystal Space) -- isn't this the GUI that we've been making? |
| 00:12.34 | brlcad | that is the gui |
| 00:12.47 | brlcad | more specifically, that would ideally be a plugin in the new gui infrastructure |
| 00:13.45 | brlcad | more interestingly, it becomes a plugin in the gui infrastructure that talks to the geometry service for getting geometry |
| 00:14.10 | brlcad | this is a great article by a friend on the drupal dev team: http://webchick.net/embrace-the-chaos |
| 00:14.20 | mafm | I don't understand, isn't "browser" the view? |
| 00:15.06 | Malyce | You mentioned support for primitives |
| 00:15.20 | Malyce | a quick look reveals revolves, bsplines etc |
| 00:15.26 | Malyce | I can move this to C++ |
| 00:15.39 | Malyce | And I have worked with these before in SW |
| 00:15.51 | Malyce | So I have an idea of what to do |
| 00:16.04 | brlcad | Malyce: there's no moving |
| 00:16.20 | brlcad | you're creating a library that sits on top of libbu, libbn, librt, libwdb, libged :) |
| 00:16.32 | Malyce | that is what I meant. Sorry, my lingo sucks |
| 00:16.47 | Malyce | but, I can do that |
| 00:16.53 | brlcad | if working with entites is more familiar, then start there |
| 00:17.05 | Malyce | It seems like a big chunk of work |
| 00:17.17 | brlcad | absolutely |
| 00:17.23 | Malyce | coupled with hierarchy transversal, I think it will keep me occupied |
| 00:17.30 | Malyce | big enough objective ? |
| 00:17.43 | brlcad | you should post whatever you come up with onto the brlcad-devel mailing list, see if you can get rossberg to comment on your goals |
| 00:18.06 | brlcad | he'd likely be the mentor or d-lo if you worked on that project |
| 00:18.06 | Malyce | I think that covering all the primitives would be hard |
| 00:18.15 | brlcad | then maybe focus on just that |
| 00:18.29 | mafm | 2nd question: Create a ray-trace service daemon with a simple tcp communications interface (similar to remrt, but more of a persistent daemon) -- do you think that is it doable as gsoc project? I don't think that this raytracing is covered by geometry service |
| 00:18.37 | brlcad | traversal was just an easily demonstrateable point since there are already demos of both in both APIs |
| 00:18.58 | brlcad | mafm: ray-tracing is covered by the GS |
| 00:19.07 | brlcad | it's actually one of its critical requirements |
| 00:19.39 | brlcad | it's being developed specifically to callers to shoot rays at geometry and get back the results :) |
| 00:19.59 | brlcad | s/to callers to/so callers can/ |
| 00:20.34 | mafm | good, so scrap that one too :) |
| 00:20.52 | brlcad | so the task there, mafm, could be to work on the GS directly and work on the class(es) that get hooked into by the job manager that will issue rays |
| 00:21.03 | brlcad | that'd be a pretty hot topic |
| 00:21.10 | brlcad | why scrap it? |
| 00:21.15 | mafm | the 3rd one was a curiosity -- Implement or integrate a RenderMan-compliant interface (e.g. Pixie) to BRL-CAD's ray-trace library -- my gsoc of 2007 was with Aqsis, rival of Pixie :) but it was not about rendering, but multithreading |
| 00:21.41 | mafm | oh, I meant, if dlo or daniel are already working on it... |
| 00:21.49 | brlcad | pixie is all lgpl, aqsis has nasty gpl portions ;) |
| 00:21.55 | brlcad | otherwise, yeah, same thing |
| 00:21.57 | Malyce | devs@brlcad.org ? i think it might take too long for him to respond. Maybe I should proceed with writing this stuff down and submitting ? |
| 00:22.06 | brlcad | mafm: they're huge tasks |
| 00:22.18 | brlcad | collaborative efforts would be way cooler than independent efforts |
| 00:22.23 | brlcad | Malyce: no |
| 00:22.28 | brlcad | see the wiki |
| 00:22.32 | mafm | Malyce: you should submit the application nevertheless, otherwise you'll miss the deadline |
| 00:22.36 | brlcad | it has instructions in the gsoc pages on getting there |
| 00:22.53 | brlcad | yeah, you should submit asap just so you're in -- you can tweak and update afterwards |
| 00:23.01 | mafm | Malyce: you can edit the proposal later. also the address is wrong. |
| 00:23.11 | brlcad | I'd suggest submitting it as soon as you have it done, then post to the list for feedback |
| 00:23.21 | brlcad | and/or to a user wiki page |
| 00:23.35 | Malyce | I have more than 12 hrs, right ? |
| 00:23.50 | Malyce | just to be sure |
| 00:23.52 | Malyce | ? |
| 00:23.57 | brlcad | Malyce: *you* do.. but it would be nice if we could have some time to review and discuss it :) |
| 00:24.02 | Malyce | yes |
| 00:24.04 | Malyce | certainly |
| 00:24.06 | Malyce | I will do that |
| 00:24.31 | mafm | about rendermans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixie_(renderer) says GPL and LGPL, anyway BRL-CAD would not use them (but the other way around), so I don't kow why that would matter :) |
| 00:24.37 | brlcad | i mean we'll have the upcoming week, but its only going to get harder as the deadline approaches and there are a dozen half-discussed applications |
| 00:24.45 | brlcad | I expect a little bit of a flurry of discussion tomorrow |
| 00:24.48 | mafm | anyway, I didn't touch any renderman-specific part, so nevermind :) |
| 00:24.53 | brlcad | seems to be accellerating as the deadline approaches |
| 00:25.03 | brlcad | agree that it should have been a monday deadline instead of a friday one :) |
| 00:25.08 | brlcad | but therein is the planning |
| 00:25.20 | brlcad | mafm: okay |
| 00:25.48 | brlcad | it's not actually implementing renderman spec (though that is an option) .. as that is indeed a project in itself |
| 00:26.39 | brlcad | it's hooking into something like aqsis/pixie as either a lighting model or shader .. and making their code use librt to shoot at the geometry (instead of whatever they implemented) |
| 00:27.03 | mafm | I mean, I don't know how to map their operations to brlcad's :) |
| 00:27.11 | brlcad | so using their code to parse the renderman scripts, manage textures, etc, but use our ray-tracing |
| 00:27.16 | brlcad | fair enough |
| 00:27.35 | brlcad | it's a bit of a project to say the least -- would probably require modifying pixie to call our tracer |
| 00:27.45 | brlcad | unless they really made it that cleanly modular |
| 00:27.56 | brlcad | would definitely require hooks on our end, probably a new shader |
| 00:28.03 | mafm | I think that I'll settle in something between GUI and the GS, or some part of the GS |
| 00:28.46 | *** join/#brlcad BigAToo (n=BigAToo@pool-96-230-124-198.sbndin.btas.verizon.net) | |
| 00:29.34 | brlcad | getting the GUI talking to the GS and/or working directly on the GS are both pretty high-priority/valuable/cool projects |
| 00:29.43 | brlcad | pretty well-defined too |
| 00:30.14 | brlcad | I kinda like the goal of making the GS shoot rays for you |
| 00:32.25 | mafm | the GS would be a kind of remote daemon accepting commands via TCP, to perform operations on an open geometry |
| 00:32.41 | mafm | and sending data back and forth for visualization in the GUI |
| 00:32.42 | mafm | right? |
| 00:33.37 | mafm | so what we need is a wrapper in the thin client that it's the gui, a kind of couterpart of GS for the client (or clients) |
| 00:33.48 | brlcad | the GS has an example daemon already (gs0) |
| 00:34.24 | brlcad | you could hook it into the gui, or just make your own little daemon that just issues commands and demonstrates capability |
| 00:34.41 | brlcad | once you had it working, could then work on hooking it up |
| 00:34.49 | brlcad | and ripping out the libged components in the gui |
| 00:35.13 | brlcad | it already has enough hooks to open geometry and list objects |
| 00:35.41 | mafm | gs0 is the server/-ice part, right? or an example of how a client should call the GS? |
| 00:39.32 | mafm | I don't know if the client component talking to the GS would be better modelled as a separate process, as an object instantiable by the gui with mostly hardcoded API (functions), or with an interpreter that would validate commands before sending them over to the GS |
| 00:39.42 | mafm | reading the wiki, searching for that info |
| 00:40.11 | brlcad | it might be the server part, I forget |
| 00:40.18 | brlcad | either way, writing a client is trivial |
| 00:41.16 | brlcad | the point of the service is to not have to hard-code a list of commands in various places -- so you'd either just pass the command to the GS and have it tell you if it's valid or not, or have a routine on the GS that reports a manifest of valid commands |
| 00:41.30 | brlcad | probably better served reading the sources |
| 00:42.12 | mafm | imagine a db like mysql |
| 00:43.15 | mafm | notes: db, not proper rdbms :P ;) |
| 00:43.15 | Malyce | what are 'nmg's ? |
| 00:43.16 | brlcad | the GS is only accessible over a socket |
| 00:43.16 | brlcad | whether local or remote |
| 00:43.19 | brlcad | Malyce: nmgs are n-manifold geometry |
| 00:43.25 | Malyce | k |
| 00:43.38 | brlcad | for all intensive purposes, they're boundary representation geometry |
| 00:43.39 | mafm | the GS could provide kind of libmysql libraries, so the clients can use those libraries to talk directly to the rdbms, abstracting network operations and all that |
| 00:43.58 | brlcad | technically, they are an implementation of the radial edge data structure for representing boundary representation geometry |
| 00:44.17 | brlcad | there are links on wikipedia for all of those terms I used if you don't know what they are :) |
| 00:44.33 | Malyce | For some reason, the b-spline primitive seems to be quite big, compared to others. I assume, this is because other primitives build on it ? |
| 00:44.50 | brlcad | mafm: possibly, but for simplicity, only care right now about getting the socket communication working |
| 00:45.03 | brlcad | the geometry engine is the compiled library interface |
| 00:45.17 | brlcad | the service is a true service, you'll connect to a port and chatter |

| 02:15.58 | mafm | you can add that in the "Content" section of the application too, as past experience for instance |
| 02:17.53 | Malyce | allright |

| 02:26.05 | brlcad | also worth including in your proposal is what you hope to gain out of participating in GSoC and what plans for your project (if any) do you have after GSoC is over |
| 02:29.43 | Malyce | ok |
| 02:29.49 | Malyce | I will edit my proposal |
| 02:29.57 | Malyce | but I have already posted it |
| 02:30.02 | Malyce | iamtanmay |
| 02:37.00 | mafm | brlcad: you tell me to talk in the channel, but then ignore when I talk :P |

| 02:55.49 | Malyce | So, how to I get feedback from d_rossberg ? |
| 02:56.52 | brlcad | AlexandreGuedes: so you know, I generally don't answer "hello" messages in PMs -- but I'm more than happy to talk once you say something more than hello |
| 02:57.03 | brlcad | if it's a dev or gsoc question, though, it probably shouldn't be in private |
| 02:57.45 | brlcad | Malyce: post to the brlcad-devel mailing list, and ask for feedback from him or others (or leave it open-ended) |
| 02:58.17 | Malyce | can you give me the mailing list ? The one on the GSOC website was wrong |
| 02:58.25 | AlexandreGuedes | brlcad: I have a question about patch to gsoc acceptance.. |
| 02:59.00 | AlexandreGuedes | As sample patch I could implement an alteration that allows users to visualize the exported model. |
| 02:59.27 | AlexandreGuedes | That would be interesting and acceptable? |
| 02:59.41 | brlcad | Malyce: wrong how so? it shouldn't be |
| 02:59.45 | AlexandreGuedes | I should use glut and opengl functions. |
| 03:00.02 | brlcad | Malyce: it's also on our wiki under the submission guidelines |
| 03:00.30 | brlcad | AlexandreGuedes: we have a modeler and ray-tracing system for visualizing models.. :) |
| 03:01.02 | Malyce | where can I find info on the patch that we have to do ? |
| 03:01.11 | brlcad | plus, how are you going to visualize a boolean operation between an implicit ellipsoid and a torus? |
| 03:01.11 | AlexandreGuedes | brlcad: but is to visualizing exported models... |
| 03:01.44 | brlcad | Malyce: what do you mean? |
| 03:02.38 | Malyce | Do we have to write a patch as a prerequisite to GSOC ? |
| 03:02.39 | brlcad | you do whatever patch you want to do |
| 03:02.53 | Malyce | Is it necessary ? |
| 03:02.58 | AlexandreGuedes | brlcad: it is just to modes that were already exported |
| 03:03.02 | Malyce | Or is it complementary ? |
| 03:03.12 | brlcad | technically, no you don't *have* to .. but your chances will be massively hindered if you don't at least do something |
| 03:03.21 | brlcad | if you can do something impressive, that can *greatly* increase your chances |
| 03:03.54 | brlcad | AlexandreGuedes: native tounge portuguese or spanish? |
| 03:04.46 | AlexandreGuedes | portuguese |
| 03:05.11 | yukonbob | brlcad: "linkid" can be arbitrary string? |
| 03:05.20 | brlcad | basically you'll be considered whether you make a patch or not -- but most have submitted a patch and that *really* helps get a feel for how you code and where we're starting |
| 03:05.28 | brlcad | yukonbob: whatever you want it to be |
| 03:05.46 | brlcad | AlexandreGuedes: ah, okay .. I can only read that and not very well, fluent in spanish |
| 03:06.04 | Malyce | I could work on the Hierarchy Transversal Support |
| 03:06.18 | brlcad | so AlexandreGuedes -- I wouldn't suggest an exported model viewer, it's more important for us to import than export :) |
| 03:06.48 | AlexandreGuedes | ok.. |
| 03:07.04 | Malyce | would that be something acceptable ? |
| 03:07.17 | Malyce | if I could work on it and improve it somewhat ? |
| 03:08.18 | brlcad | AlexandreGuedes: how much time do you think you have for a patch? |
| 03:08.39 | brlcad | that can kinda steer how big of an idea you might be able to handle -- a couple hours, couple days? |
| 03:08.44 | yukonbob | brlcad: submitted |
| 03:08.48 | brlcad | ok |
| 03:09.14 | AlexandreGuedes | brlcad: i can submit my patch after 3 april ? |
| 03:09.20 | brlcad | AlexandreGuedes: yes |
| 03:09.35 | Malyce | Oh, that would be great |
| 03:09.35 | brlcad | just should let someone know if that's the plan, maybe state it in your proposal |
| 03:09.51 | brlcad | you have all the way up until we do final rankings and select |
| 03:09.56 | brlcad | but obviously the sooner the better |
| 03:10.11 | AlexandreGuedes | i have enough time |
| 03:10.11 | Malyce | Or maybe if you could suggest another idea, I could work on it faster |
| 03:10.16 | brlcad | as we'll be less inclined to bump you much higher/lower the closer we are to the deadline |
| 03:11.11 | brlcad | fixing bugs is always a great way to show your skill as it involves comprehending and navigating code more than writing it |
| 03:11.15 | brlcad | writing code is pretty easy |
| 03:11.35 | brlcad | reading it is hard |
| 03:12.07 | Malyce | where can I see the bug list ? |
| 03:12.07 | brlcad | yet with open source, unlike school work and short-lived commercial products, you usually end up reading code WAY more than you write code |
| 03:12.28 | brlcad | there's a BUGS file in the source checkout as well as a bugs tracker on sourceforge |
| 03:12.44 | brlcad | Malyce: I'm really getting the feeling that you've not read everything that you're supposed to read on the wiki |
| 03:12.54 | brlcad | most of this is even itemized there :) |
| 03:13.03 | Malyce | I've tried, sorry. |
| 03:13.08 | brlcad | the brl-cad wiki, not the gsoc wiki |
| 03:14.55 | AlexandreGuedes | brlcad: ok... |
| 03:15.06 | brlcad | so there's this: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Checklist as well as http://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/HACKING |
| 03:15.11 | brlcad | both good reading to get started |
| 03:15.19 | brlcad | the latter describes where the trackers are |
| 03:15.30 | brlcad | http://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/BUGS is the venerable bugs file |
| 03:15.39 | brlcad | https://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad has the trackers |
| 03:15.46 | AlexandreGuedes | i'll try fix a bug |
| 03:15.56 | brlcad | difference is basically internally reported bugs vs externally reported bugs |
| 03:16.38 | Malyce | You are right, I hadn't seen this page |
| 03:17.38 | brlcad | if you want to try a new code project, I suggest a simple importer that we don't have like obj-g, x3d-g, or vrml-g (but should still follow our HACKING guidelines) |
| 03:18.28 | AlexandreGuedes | brlcad: it is just i would propouse |
| 03:19.26 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03Sean 07http://brlcad.org * r1340 10/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Application_Guidelines: link to the checklist in a few more places |
| 03:19.48 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03Sean 07http://brlcad.org * r1341 10/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Application_Guidelines: silly preview |
| 03:20.08 | AlexandreGuedes | i'm writing my document ... |
| 03:20.33 | brlcad | Malyce: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2009 is where the checklist was principally mentioned |
| 03:22.21 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03Sean 07http://brlcad.org * r1342 10/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code: /* Getting Started */ |
| 03:23.07 | Malyce | The first bug: "Windows MSVC build files seem to have the project dependencies all |
| 03:23.08 | Malyce | <PROTECTED> |
| 03:23.33 | Malyce | It would be easier for me to fix. But, will it count as a good patch ? |
| 03:25.05 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03Sean 07http://brlcad.org * r1343 10/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Checklist: er, wtf.. send them to the subscribe page, not the archives |
| 03:25.29 | brlcad | Malyce: better than nothing, but would certainly prefer code over build system |
| 03:25.43 | brlcad | and that task is WAY more tedious than you are aware |
| 03:26.36 | brlcad | we have 400+ applications in BRL-CAD, about two-dozen libraries |
| 03:27.02 | brlcad | specifying dependencies for 400+ items is rather grueling :) |
| 03:28.07 | Malyce | I see |
| 03:28.09 | Malyce | * bot-bldxf fails in db_walk_tree(), interface may have changed |
| 03:28.10 | Malyce | ? |
| 03:28.18 | Malyce | too trivial ? |
| 03:29.39 | brlcad | m, I don't recall what that bug entailed |
| 03:29.48 | brlcad | so no, not too trivial if you figure that out and fix it ;) |
| 03:30.12 | Malyce | allright |
| 03:30.13 | brlcad | not too exciting a bug to fix, but certainly more useful than build system |
| 03:31.09 | jonored | Is there another branch that the brep primitive is being worked on in, or is trunk it? |
| 03:33.35 | brlcad | trunk is it |
| 03:34.24 | *** join/#brlcad jdoliner (n=jdoliner@c-68-51-76-57.hsd1.il.comcast.net) | |
| 03:34.30 | brlcad | and I just verified, the lists are not incorrect |
| 03:35.05 | Malyce | Thanks a lot brlcad. I will get some sleep now, and then work on the patch. |
| 03:35.08 | Malyce | Goodnight |
| 03:35.22 | brlcad | cool, cya |
| 03:40.10 | jonored | So writing rt_brep_norm and maybe rt_brep_curve would be a good patch? they seem to not be there in trunk. |
| 03:50.57 | brlcad | jonored: wow, and would be impressive if you actually did.. |
| 03:51.15 | brlcad | you know what is involved there? :) |
| 03:58.20 | jonored | The first one looks like it's not that bad... it looks like the uv coordinates are stored and passed back, and for the normal it seems like that should be either calling EvNormal or taking the cross product of the u and v derivatives... am I missing something entirely? Curvature would take thinking about calc, though. |
| 03:59.18 | brlcad | it'll hard to implement and verify without brep ray tracing being complete |
| 03:59.25 | brlcad | it only works on some basic shapes at the moment |
| 03:59.38 | brlcad | though I suppose you could use one of the test cases we already have that render correctly |
| 03:59.43 | brlcad | and get uv working right there |
| 03:59.57 | brlcad | hey, no -- that's cool -- go for it :) |

| 12:03.06 | brlcad | if they have triangles, you import as bot |

| 13:04.34 | hippieindamakin8 | starseeker, that shouldnt be a problem ! |
| 13:04.54 | starseeker | they specify educational, research and non-profit purposes |
| 13:05.05 | starseeker | that means other purposes do NOT have permission |
| 13:05.06 | hippieindamakin8 | :| |
| 13:05.25 | hippieindamakin8 | so i need to re write the proposal |
| 13:06.41 | hippieindamakin8 | starseeker, will get back to u in 5 mins. going to another lab in the next building |
| 13:07.13 | starseeker | I've got to get going myself |
| 13:07.21 | starseeker | just thought I'd point out the potential issue there |
| 13:09.21 | hippieindamakin8 | starseeker, any suggestions on how i should proceed ? |
| 13:10.08 | starseeker | are there any similar libs with clearer licensing? |
| 13:10.34 | starseeker | You might check with brlcad when he gets in - he has a broader knowledge of this sort of software than I do |
| 13:10.43 | hippieindamakin8 | yeah nlt starseeker |
| 13:11.18 | hippieindamakin8 | i have checked nlt too . but planned on using liDIA as it was already implemented in BOOLE |
| 13:11.53 | hippieindamakin8 | *ntl |
| 13:12.49 | starseeker | hippieindamakin8: do you have a link to BOOLE handy? |
| 13:12.55 | hippieindamakin8 | yeah |
| 13:13.04 | hippieindamakin8 | http://www.cs.unc.edu/~geom/CSG/boole.html |
| 13:14.06 | hippieindamakin8 | starseeker, if LiDIA cant be used then ntl(http://www.shoup.net/ntl/) can be used along with GMP |
| 13:15.15 | starseeker | NTL is GPL, not LGPL |
| 13:15.22 | hippieindamakin8 | http://www.cs.unc.edu/~geom/CSG/BOOLE-DOCS/copyright |
| 13:15.39 | starseeker | yeah, saw that |
| 13:16.06 | starseeker | you should ask brlcad about those license questions and whether they make using those in the project a non-starter |
| 13:16.31 | hippieindamakin8 | yeah :| |
| 13:16.55 | starseeker | ok, I gotta run |
| 13:17.11 | hippieindamakin8 | starseeker, thanks and cya |

| 14:25.21 | brlcad | and the point is to acquire new devs, not just get some code out of folks |
| 14:25.40 | ``Erik | we want the 20 year folk, yes. But we don't need the full grilling that those guys recieve... |
| 14:25.42 | brlcad | the short-term contract is just the mechanism to help kick things off and keep bills paid |
| 14:25.56 | hippieindamakin8 | as in LiDIA and boole's licences arent straightforward. if instead of LidIA ,ntl(which is just GPL and not LGPL) is used along with GMP how bt it |
| 14:26.27 | ``Erik | and I like to imagine that it's an important and fun project with nice and fun people, so there's a lot of imputus to stick around |

| 15:08.08 | hippieindamakin8 | prefers python for that |

| 15:09.32 | ``Erik | so, personally, the notion of python is not a showstopper in my mind... but I may be wrong, I defer to brlcad for an official stance |

| 15:10.13 | ``Erik | I've made all the comments I'm comfortable making :) my brain isn't 100% today... called in sick to work, etc |
| 15:11.03 | hippieindamakin8 | ``Erik, i am very comfortable with python so that is the reason i wanted to implement it with python |
| 15:11.16 | ``Erik | also; my proxy is farting on the ftp notion, so'z I can't view all the relevant data :( |
| 15:11.27 | hippieindamakin8 | ohh |

| 15:12.26 | hippieindamakin8 | ``Erik, for the gsoc i ll code in python and then port it to ruby once i get more familiar with ruby by the end of summers |
| 15:12.58 | ``Erik | make sure that plan is in your proposal |
| 15:13.03 | jonored | seems to remember something about someone doing a test and python coming out 400 times slower than C++, and 100 times slower than common lisp, on some basic numerical stuff... |
| 15:13.24 | ``Erik | micro-benchmarks tend to produce stupid numbers like that :( |
| 15:13.53 | ``Erik | I've seen some where common lisp blows c++ out of the water... |
| 15:14.13 | ``Erik | the caveats are critical :) |
| 15:14.55 | jonored | The only ones I've seen on that are where it's testing stuff that gets essentially compiled out... that one was (I think) just matrix multiplication. |
| 15:15.29 | hippieindamakin8 | jonored, for matrix multiplications fortran is much faster than anything else |
| 15:15.31 | ``Erik | fortran stomps C on naive matrix mults on modern hardware... |
| 15:15.35 | ``Erik | aint' sayin' much, yo |
| 15:16.50 | ``Erik | (and the ONLY reason fortan wins is because their multidimensional arrays are column major instead of row major, so it just happens to tweak the cache lines a little better) |
| 15:19.56 | ``Erik | is doing cl stuff in personal time due to the faster "time to market" aspect :) |
| 15:20.52 | jonored | is in general very keen on common lisp. The only irritation is that it doesn't have first-class continutions and scheme does... |
| 15:22.40 | brlcad | no python for gsoc with only a few exceptions (ged/ge/gs scripting and web stuffs) |
| 15:22.48 | hippieindamakin8 | ``Erik, listen so technically openNURBs library which is being used shouldnt be used is it ? |

| 19:20.35 | hippieindamakin8 | hey madant |
| 19:21.30 | madant | hey hippieindamakin8 |
| 19:24.45 | Malyce | hi madant. Can you tell me how I can find out what 'bot-bldxf' means. It was in the BUGS file, as in "* bot-bldxf fails in db_walk_tree(), interface may have changed" |
| 19:24.51 | Malyce | ? |
| 19:26.50 | brlcad | Malyce: by asking -- bots are "bags of triangles" -- bldxf is "build a dxf" |
| 19:26.57 | brlcad | it's a horrible name, but it means make a dxf from a bot |
| 19:27.13 | brlcad | if you're just getting started on that one, try for another bug |
| 19:27.34 | brlcad | there's another tool that technically makes bot-bldxf deprecated |
| 19:27.42 | Malyce | rats |
| 19:27.52 | Malyce | I was already in the middle of it |
| 19:27.56 | madant | Malyce, bot-bldxf and other dxf conversion tools are there in src/conv/dxf directory |
| 19:28.00 | brlcad | well, you are welcome to fix it |
| 19:28.00 | Malyce | I had read and understood the code |
| 19:28.05 | madant | oops.. brlcad beat me to it :D |
| 19:28.26 | brlcad | it's not going away right away, and still perfectly serves the purpose of the patch |
| 19:29.13 | brlcad | but the fact that it's missing a manual page means it was an unpublished/unfinished tool that never turned into a production tool |
| 19:29.50 | brlcad | and since then, there is now a bot_dump command that will export obj, dxf, vrml |
| 19:31.23 | brlcad | Malyce: what is your project? |
| 19:32.20 | Malyce | Extension of Core C++ Interfaces |
| 19:32.34 | Malyce | I said I would add primitive support |
| 19:32.46 | brlcad | so add another primitive to the core interface |
| 19:33.01 | brlcad | daniel just added another one today, you could use that as an example |
| 19:33.12 | Malyce | how much time did it take him ? |
| 19:33.19 | brlcad | ask him |
| 19:33.45 | Malyce | I am worried that it might take too long for the purpose of the patch. |
| 19:33.52 | brlcad | so ask him :) |
| 19:34.04 | Malyce | how ? The mailing list ? |
| 19:34.10 | brlcad | the code isn't that horribly complex, I can't imagine it was more than a day or two |
| 19:34.13 | brlcad | sure |
| 19:34.24 | brlcad | probably just a couple hours |
| 19:34.28 | Malyce | allright |
| 19:34.30 | brlcad | if even that |
| 19:34.50 | Malyce | I should probably alter my proposal then |
| 19:35.02 | Malyce | Because I estimated 10-15 hours per primitive |
| 19:35.03 | brlcad | you could implement the torus -- that should be fairly easy |
| 19:35.06 | Malyce | I wasn't sure |
| 19:35.15 | brlcad | why would you alter it now |
| 19:35.29 | brlcad | I don't know how long it'll take -- ASK HIM :) |
| 19:35.37 | Malyce | yes |
| 19:35.37 | Malyce | I am on it |
| 19:36.03 | brlcad | mine is just a guess, but I'm also very familiar with that code |
| 19:36.37 | brlcad | your first one would probably take a bit longer, but you'd be pretty familiar after a couple |
| 19:39.20 | Malyce | he added ellipsoid i see |
| 19:39.44 | *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=omg@unaffiliated/elite01) | |
| 19:40.32 | brlcad | yeah, I would have too |
| 19:40.40 | brlcad | he's probably working on tgc or torus next ;) |
| 19:40.50 | brlcad | you'll certainly get his attention with that patch ;) |
| 19:41.02 | brlcad | and he'd likely be the mentor for your project, so good to talk to him |
| 19:41.37 | brlcad | (though we do group mentoring, you can call on anyone -- he's just the lead on that area) |
| 19:42.14 | Malyce | Is it ok, if I send it to the mailing list ? Won't it spam everyone ? |
| 19:42.28 | brlcad | the dev list is pretty small |
| 19:42.45 | brlcad | the news and user mailing lists are the big ones |

| 19:44.17 | brlcad | howdy andrecastelo |
| 19:44.25 | andrecastelo | howdy brlcad |
| 19:44.27 | brlcad | how'd the applications go? |
| 19:44.35 | andrecastelo | i've sent only one, to blender |
| 19:44.45 | brlcad | cool, what for? |
| 19:45.15 | andrecastelo | blender's interface is being refactored and the way the inner data is accessed is changing |
| 19:45.29 | andrecastelo | and the big refactor will happen on version 2.5 |
| 19:45.55 | andrecastelo | with the refactoring, the python scripts will become incompatible |
| 19:46.08 | andrecastelo | so the application was to port some import/export scripts to the new system :) |
| 19:47.17 | andrecastelo | brlcad, how were the proposals this year? |
| 19:47.37 | andrecastelo | everyone was talking about a low number of proposals, i wonder why |
| 19:47.50 | madant | andrecastelo, blender sounds kewl :) how is school ? |
| 19:47.52 | brlcad | andrecastelo: curious actually |
| 19:48.02 | brlcad | our applications were down about 25% from last year |
| 19:48.19 | madant | is always reminded of "Catelo's Castle" whenever he sees the surname castelo :) |
| 19:48.34 | brlcad | bz's applications are actually up about 40% from last year |
| 19:48.37 | madant | brlcad: and quality-wise ;) ? |
| 19:48.45 | brlcad | quality is better for both |
| 19:48.50 | andrecastelo | madant, i'm currently in between semesters |
| 19:49.05 | andrecastelo | so, i'm free of them :) |
| 19:49.08 | madant | hmm.. bz beat us ( brl-cad - brlcad) :P |
| 19:49.10 | andrecastelo | and thus i'm a happy man |
| 19:49.32 | andrecastelo | madant, castelo = castle :) |
| 19:49.45 | brlcad | madant: the game has an quite an appealing advantage :) |
| 19:49.48 | madant | andrecastelo, i used to love both :) bunking classes and doing work in between semesters :P |
| 19:50.30 | madant | is not at all a gamer :D == feels stupid about pushing keys and moving the mouse imagining you are in a different world |
| 19:50.30 | andrecastelo | i felt demotivated this last semester, had some really bad teachers |
| 19:50.57 | hippieindamakin8 | madant, but u should try playing bzflag dude |
| 19:51.06 | madant | andrecastelo, aah.. nice :) well Dawn = dawn, Thomas = twin .. :P |
| 19:51.08 | andrecastelo | i tried bzflag but i do not have good reflexes |
| 19:51.36 | madant | is pretty sure he would suck at games too ;) |
| 19:51.37 | hippieindamakin8 | andrecastelo, neither do i . but it is fun with that arena and those options :) |
| 19:51.40 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34146 10/brlcad/trunk/ (8 files in 7 dirs): peanut butter release time, peanut butter release 7.14.6 with a baseball bat |

| 19:54.29 | pacman87 | you all up for a bzflag game? |
| 19:54.45 | brlcad | pacman87: hah, wish I could |
| 19:54.52 | brlcad | later today, sure |
| 19:55.00 | brlcad | pacman87: who all'd you apply to? |
| 19:55.06 | pacman87 | just here |
| 19:55.15 | madant | pacman87, hehe .. break from 6811 ;) |
| 19:55.20 | brlcad | ah, okay, cool |
| 19:55.39 | pacman87 | i realized the bzflag cheat prevention really needs the modularization of game logic |
| 19:55.46 | pacman87 | so the server can use the same code as the client |
| 19:56.25 | brlcad | it doesn't "really" need it, but it would greatly help it |
| 19:56.44 | brlcad | i had started more in-depth cheat preventions years ago with server-side dr and shot tracking |
| 19:56.57 | brlcad | but my goal was a networking optimization so I never committed it |
| 19:57.20 | pacman87 | unfortunate |
| 19:57.28 | brlcad | as there was a net problem with players teleporting across the server (it was a packet culling technique based on how close the other players were from you) |
| 19:57.41 | brlcad | made network use nearly linear |
| 19:58.11 | brlcad | would have allowed bzflag servers to support something like 100 players on a server that today can only support about 12 playesr |
| 19:58.20 | pacman87 | impressive |
| 19:58.26 | brlcad | if it wasn't for those damn teleporters :) |
| 19:58.36 | brlcad | then I got sidetracked before I finished implementing waypoints |
| 19:58.43 | pacman87 | you'd have to do something like Portal |
| 19:58.47 | brlcad | but the basic logic for server-side cheat checking was easily doable |
| 19:58.48 | hippieindamakin8 | brlcad, but the teleporters add much more fun to that game ;) |
| 19:58.57 | madant | grr... what is a good bzflag approach on TwinView :) windowed mode |
| 19:59.11 | pacman87 | madant: use top/bottom |
| 19:59.19 | pacman87 | and you can get the radar to fill the second screen |
| 19:59.21 | brlcad | madant: code up something better |
| 19:59.29 | pacman87 | set opacity to full |
| 19:59.35 | pacman87 | and size to max |
| 19:59.48 | madant | pacman87, :) seems like u ar sitting at a battlestation ;) |
| 20:00.06 | pacman87 | you may need to set the radar size in your conf file |
| 20:00.19 | madant | yeah i need to do some tinkering :) |
| 20:00.32 | madant | brlcad: :) hopefully when i get addicted to the game :D |
| 20:00.44 | pacman87 | if you want to play, let me know |
| 20:01.02 | madant | pacman87, sure :) brlcad plays a lot too ? |
| 20:01.16 | pacman87 | not that i know of |

| 20:08.17 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r34148 10/brlcad/trunk/doc/docbook/BRL-CAD_db_format.xml: Add content for spec up to tables in Padding and Length Rounding - need to check those more carefully before redoing. |
| 20:14.00 | brlcad | madant: used to play a lot (one of the best, actually), but not in a long time |
| 20:14.46 | brlcad | poolio: it's an open source project, meritocracy rules the code, devs do as devs do |
| 20:15.49 | madant | :) i got quicked out for jitter |
| 20:15.54 | madant | just now |
| 20:16.11 | brlcad | shakes head at starseeker .. next you'll be telling me that you don't know what "badger, badger, badger" means too |
| 20:16.33 | starseeker | eh? |
| 20:16.39 | brlcad | slaps forehead |
| 20:16.55 | madant | pacman87, unable to connect :) |
| 20:17.15 | pacman87 | madant: in bzflag? |
| 20:17.34 | starseeker | has the distinct sensation of being back in high school listening without comprehension to the slang of his peers ;-) |
| 20:17.36 | brlcad | you have some google homework, your lady will probably find it funny :) |
| 20:17.40 | madant | i mean i connected to bzf.bzflag.. |
| 20:18.00 | pacman87 | sorry, it's port 5161 |
| 20:18.08 | madant | ah ok :) |
| 20:18.56 | starseeker | I dunno... her sense of humor is not to be trifled with |
| 20:20.43 | Malyce | BRL, I can't seem to be able to post on the 'brlcad-devel@lists.sourceforge.net' list |
| 20:20.48 | Malyce | although I subscribed |
| 20:21.48 | Malyce | ah no, I see |
| 20:21.50 | Malyce | its ok |
| 20:25.08 | starseeker | Hmm - BNF description of VRML 2.0 - cool http://graphcomp.com/info/specs/sgi/vrml/spec/part1/grammar.html |
| 20:26.02 | starseeker | idly contemplates the creation of a BNF definition for .g files, wonders if the spec has enough info to make one... |
| 20:33.18 | brlcad | starseeker: sure does, but wouldn't likely be efficient in the least |
| 20:33.27 | brlcad | have thought about it before too, though |
| 20:33.32 | brlcad | would be neat in itself |
| 20:33.48 | brlcad | just not too incredibly practical for binary files |
| 20:35.02 | madant | pacman87, :) i guess my brain has to get used to watching 3d rendered motion :D ( last game i played was probably 5 years ago :P) |
| 20:35.12 | pacman87 | ah |
| 20:35.17 | starseeker | formality might be useful as a framework though |
| 20:35.18 | pacman87 | it's a good start |
| 20:35.25 | pacman87 | there's hope for you yet :P |
| 20:35.40 | madant | :P |
| 20:35.48 | pacman87 | madant: you could always just make your radar really big |
| 20:35.53 | pacman87 | and ignore the rest of the screen |
| 20:35.59 | pacman87 | then it's back to 2d motion |
| 20:37.55 | starseeker | distcheck good on the mac |
| 20:39.04 | madant | pacman87, yeah.. i feel like that is the best approach for me :d |
| 20:39.58 | pacman87 | try some of the big/popular maps at the top of the list |
| 20:40.03 | pacman87 | and don't get discouraged |

| 20:44.13 | brlcad | starseeker: cool, thanks |
| 20:44.29 | Malyce | hey BRL, I am having a problem compiling on Cygwin |
| 20:44.36 | Malyce | I ran the configure script |
| 20:44.49 | Malyce | And the first time, it told me that X11 wasn't installed |
| 20:45.22 | Malyce | Installed X11, reran script. It now says X11 is enabled, but Xi library was not found |
| 20:45.58 | Malyce | I followed the guide at: http://gears.aset.psu.edu/hpc/guides/cygwin/ |
| 20:46.50 | Malyce | Couldn't do the last step, since for some reason Cygwin setup didn't install the startxwin.bat file |
| 20:47.05 | Malyce | Workarounds ? |
| 20:47.10 | brlcad | install it by hand? |
| 20:47.28 | Malyce | The Xi library ? |
| 20:47.34 | brlcad | you can disable all X11 stuff if you don't mind not having a gui |
| 20:47.52 | Malyce | yes |
| 20:47.55 | Malyce | that would be great |
| 20:47.59 | Malyce | how ? |
| 20:48.06 | brlcad | --without-x11 |
| 20:53.23 | Malyce | ./configuration --witout-x11 ? |
| 20:53.25 | Malyce | without |
| 20:54.10 | pacman87 | ./configure --without-x11 |
| 20:57.16 | pacman87 | and you'll probably have to run 'mged -c' |
| 20:58.53 | Malyce | no, won't be running mged |
| 21:01.11 | *** join/#brlcad dreeves (n=IceChat7@67.130.253.14) | |
| 21:01.13 | starseeker | brlcad: OK, Good on 64 bit linux too |
| 21:05.13 | Malyce | "Warning: Neither YACC parser nor LEX scanner was found." Will this affect Core C++ Interfaces or librt stuff ? |
| 21:06.28 | Malyce | Also "Floating point implementation is not IEEE754 compliant. htond and htonf may be incorrect" |
| 21:06.53 | brlcad | Malyce: no |
| 21:10.04 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34149 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: keep with a lot of objects in mged isn't working right. just prints out a usage statement. I haz test case. reported by lee and verified. |
| 21:13.13 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34150 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: |
| 21:13.13 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: verified another bug in the facetize -n commmand with lee where it is giving |
| 21:13.13 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: spurious 'color index out of range' errors on (at least) some 3-manifold |
| 21:13.13 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: surfaces. the painting algorithm in nmg_manif.c seems incomplete/flawed. |
| 21:14.44 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34151 10/brlcad/trunk/ChangeLog: last thing, update Changelog with items since 2009-03-06, ready to tag. |
| 21:19.52 | Malyce | Warning: Can't figure out how to do Dynamic loading or shared libraries on this system |
| 21:19.54 | Malyce | Bad ? |
| 21:27.22 | brlcad | pretty bad, but not fatal -- did you run autogen.sh ? |
| 21:29.37 | Malyce | before ./configure ? |
| 21:29.39 | brlcad | yes |
| 21:29.41 | Malyce | I think I tried |
| 21:29.45 | brlcad | heh |
| 21:29.51 | Malyce | didn't work for some reason |
| 21:30.09 | Malyce | I am 'make'ing right now |
| 21:30.09 | brlcad | given you're on a relatively obscure configuration, that's probably why you're getting that message |
| 21:30.23 | brlcad | you need a set of the gnu autotools that has been made for cygwin |
| 21:30.36 | Malyce | should I stop, and restart ? |
| 21:30.48 | brlcad | plus, you should be working from svn, not a source tarball ;) |
| 21:30.51 | brlcad | I would |
| 21:31.01 | brlcad | you can keep struggling if you like |
| 21:31.11 | brlcad | see if you get enough built to test a patch |
| 21:31.22 | Malyce | right, so first I should get the autotools |
| 21:31.28 | Malyce | second, checkout svn |
| 21:31.31 | Malyce | and then retry |
| 21:31.33 | Malyce | ? |
| 21:32.24 | brlcad | yeah, ideally |
| 21:35.08 | Malyce | Autoconf, Automake and libtools, all three ? |
| 21:35.50 | brlcad | yes |
| 21:36.08 | brlcad | and they in turn will want m4 and perl, maybe other minor deps |
| 21:44.19 | Malyce | no pain, no gain |
| 21:46.24 | CIA-40 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34152 10/brlcad/branches/STABLE/ (2511 files in 220 dirs): merge trunk to STABLE from r33968 through HEAD r34151 for release 7.14.6 |
