21:20.08 Emton anyone still here
21:20.09 Emton ?
21:20.22 yukonbob "still"?
21:20.22 yukonbob yes
21:20.32 Emton been trying to convert the pix via ImageMagick
21:20.43 Emton convert seems to give me problems tho
21:20.53 Emton have any of you tried it?
21:21.06 yukonbob can you ellaborate, Emton

21:21.55 Emton convert: Unexpected end-of-file
21:22.27 Emton whoops, old paste my.pix -> my.rgb
21:22.31 ``Erik convert won't know pix
21:22.39 ``Erik use pix-png
21:22.52 Emton hehe, yea i renamed to my.rgb
21:23.13 Emton it is rgb raw format no?
21:23.33 Emton i would use pix-png but it won't compile on cygwin for me
21:24.21 ``Erik hrm, what does it do when you try to compile it?
21:24.27 ``Erik missing png?
21:24.45 Emton problems w/dynamic constants yada yada..
21:25.08 Emton the libfb doesn't have a *.la and other things
21:25.17 ``Erik doesn't have yiddishcc, doesn't know the yadda error
21:25.18 Emton something is probably screwed up in my env
21:25.31 ``Erik sounds like libtool isn't clicking right
21:25.38 ``Erik in which case, rt shouldn't have compiled...
21:25.54 Emton no it didn't, i'm using the Win Binaries to run it
21:26.02 Emton i just tried to compile to get pix-png
21:26.06 ``Erik ah, those didn't come with pix-png?
21:26.15 Emton before i wiped it w/a make distclean i had a lot of it
21:26.22 Emton no
21:26.37 Emton pix-png is not in the win bin's
21:27.41 ``Erik lame
21:27.51 Emton yep
21:28.19 Emton i can load the pix into adobe elements and convert but i'd rather use imagemagick if it's possible
21:34.47 ``Erik hm, imagemagick changed their manpages, I'm wondering if the "RGB" format they list is the old SGI format that has a header on it
21:35.43 ``Erik well, n, here's the format page, hrm
21:39.01 Emton http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php
21:39.10 Emton RGB RW Raw red, green, and blue samples Use -size and -depth to specify the image width, height, and depth. To specify a single precision floating-point format, use -define quantum:format=floating-point. Set the depth to 64 for a double precision floating-point format.
21:39.49 Emton according to what i've read this is what the pix format should be with 3 channels
21:40.23 *** join/#brlcad Ralith (n=ralith@d142-058-080-053.wireless.sfu.ca)
21:42.01 Emton according to a tip i saw from *brlcad*, you can cat something like "P6 512 512 255" and rename to pnm
21:42.17 Emton this not working for me either tho
21:45.58 Emton and ya, first cat > file ..header.. then cat my.pix >> file
21:51.58 Emton anyway i guess nobody know since they probably have pix-png going good but imagemagick scripting is useful for animations anyhow
21:52.08 Emton if i find the answer i'll post it back up here
21:54.07 brlcad not quite that simple, I believe the P6 has to be on a separate line?
21:54.42 Emton hmm.. maybe that's why it didn't work - i'll try it
21:54.50 brlcad there is also already pix-ppm ...
21:55.04 brlcad pix-[tab][tab]
21:55.13 Emton hehe.. yea, i have problems w/my cyg-win environment
21:55.23 Emton cannot compile much
21:55.58 brlcad hm, pix-ppm only depends on libbu, which is one of the first of our libs to compile
21:56.40 Emton i would tell what worked and didn't but i did a 'make distclean'
21:57.00 Emton last night, then downloaded a bunch of new libraries and it now goes nowhere
21:57.38 Emton GOT IT!!!
21:58.11 Emton convert -depth 8 -size 200x200 -channel RGB rgb:moss.raw moss.png
21:58.18 Emton does the trick i was looking for
21:58.33 brlcad Emton: was going to just say that, heh
21:58.34 Emton what pix-png i suppose would do, i think IM can flip it too
21:58.40 Emton lol
21:58.45 Emton thanks anyway
21:59.08 brlcad that imagic magick has support for raw formats as well, they just call it 'rgb' to not confuse it with the newer "raw" camera formats
21:59.38 Emton yea, i read the descript and it looked similar enough
21:59.40 brlcad rgba if we added an alpha channel (which I so hope we do soon)
22:00.10 Emton yea, would be good but i think IM can convert and even swap a bg color for alpha
22:00.16 Emton for now anyway
22:00.27 brlcad so can we
22:00.50 Emton yea, its powerful i don't know half of it
22:01.04 brlcad pix format predates alpha channelling, so most all of our tools have a concept of a background color that is used as the alpha channel
22:01.27 brlcad just user-specified instead a convenient separate per-pixel channel
22:01.33 Emton that's good, yea i guess you need that to RT correctly
22:01.50 brlcad you really want a full channel, though, for proper blending and edge aliasing
22:02.06 Emton i see, so perhaps not too hard to break it out to RGBA
22:02.58 Emton do you know if the ANIM menu works?
22:03.08 Emton haven't found any documentation or a clue as to how to use it
22:03.12 brlcad saw someone use it a few months back
22:03.17 brlcad i'm just not very versed in it
22:03.39 Emton that's cool, is there a website?
22:03.40 brlcad and yeah.. docs for it are limited.. there are some old docs about it somewhere, but I don't think have been uploaded anywhere
22:04.25 Emton oh, yea i know some of this stuff like that tip you gave i only found thanks to our friendly (not sarcastic) ibot dropper
22:04.57 brlcad ibot dropper?
22:05.06 Emton here to be exact: http://purl.rikers.org/%23brlcad/20090512.html.gz
22:05.36 Emton whoops, thats a new one but he's got a good collection of channel copies
22:05.55 Emton yes, i think that ibot you see on the right is rikers bot
22:06.03 Emton to record the channel
22:06.11 Emton he should pop a search engine on there..
22:06.22 brlcad it is rikers' bot
22:06.25 Emton so ppl.. uh.. don't feel like crawling his site
22:06.41 Emton ok yea, i thought probly was
22:07.15 brlcad probably the most comprehensive multi-channeled bot on irc with the largest factoid database
22:07.23 brlcad really should clean up that website :)
22:07.32 brlcad search for starters .. definitely
22:08.13 Emton yea, i guess u can't really complain about er.. spidering w/out having that
22:08.24 brlcad we probably should create an extensive to have a drupal module just suck them in daily so they're indexed with the read of our content
22:08.34 brlcad wrapped in something a little more pretty
22:08.47 Emton would be good
22:09.06 brlcad google goes into .gz files, so you can just add site:rikers.org to search the existing logs
22:09.18 Emton i also found this, http://ftp.arl.army.mil/~mike/
22:09.27 brlcad yeah, that's mike's old page
22:09.28 Emton site of original BRLCAD architect
22:09.31 Emton yea
22:09.42 Emton didn't know he was the ping author
22:09.44 Emton hehe
22:09.48 brlcad I'm going to move that onto brlcad.org here some day
22:10.59 Emton yea, it would be good to snag it before the mil wipes by accident or o/w
22:11.35 brlcad it wouldn't be by accident, but there has already been issues with the potential "o/w" reasons
22:12.03 Emton really? is there pushback about having BRLCAD in public domain?
22:12.38 brlcad I already have a dump of all of the old ftp website, more just a matter of copying the files into place
22:13.02 brlcad brl-cad is open source, not the same as being in the public domain :)
22:13.24 Emton that's cool, as long as you have them perhaps u can just dump them for now so others can view them (perhaps painfully)
22:13.29 brlcad and that question has little to do with mike's old website ;)
22:14.00 Emton heh, this old website i posted?
22:14.10 brlcad right, his homepage
22:14.16 Emton they don't like the pictures and extra information or something?
22:14.39 brlcad I won't/don't speak for "them" :)
22:14.59 ``Erik shakes fist at "them"
22:15.18 Emton hehe, well - seems good people have "accidents" too often
22:16.36 Emton alrigth guys, back to wrok for me trying to make some BRL animations
