10:44.25 d-lo aren't Binary distros for *nix platforms rare? Doesn't 'the average *nix user' prefer source? (Honest question since I am a *nix newbie)
11:07.08 Maloeran The average user usually prefers binaries, it's a lot faster to install
11:07.53 Maloeran Compiling from source can take a while, and few need the extra flexibility... or the tiny bits of extra performance

18:07.20 RProgrammer Can BRL-CAD do blueprints?
18:15.15 tofu RProgrammer: it can do partial blueprints, but not everything you probably want
18:15.42 tofu more specifically, doesn't yet support annotatations so you have to label and add measurements manually to an image
18:15.55 tofu it will, however, give you the hidden-line renderings common with blueprint visualizations
18:16.18 RProgrammer What command do I use?
18:16.26 tofu rtedge
18:16.31 RProgrammer thanks
