22:00.39 starseeker entertains radical notions of reworking mged to live almost entirely in tcl/tk land...
22:14.28 starseeker (know better, know most of the stuff in mged.c is there for good reason...)
22:19.17 starseeker but argh
22:55.33 ``Erik don't anger the keith, he likes his -c
22:56.19 starseeker ponders whether -c can be accomplished anyway...
22:57.07 CIA-40 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39479 10/brlcad/branches/dmtogl/src/libdm/dm-togl.c: try to be smarter about the name to use when packing a togl widget...
22:57.47 starseeker just stuff all the wrappers bridging mged commands and ged/other c libs into an mged package that can be package required...
22:58.34 ``Erik hrm, I guess my response would have to be http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/blazeomatic/citta/5bdxcx.jpg
22:58.53 starseeker must beware... he is beginning to embrace the notion of making the tcl/tk interface more and more "pure"...
22:59.18 ``Erik and I'll parry and counterpoint with cffi bits showing up. :D
22:59.31 ``Erik or mebbe just plain swig, but it gets confused by the goofy stuff we do in bu.h
23:00.33 starseeker O.o - how is that couterpoint? Making our tcl/tk stuff more like "traditional" tcl/tk apps is orthogonal to cffi...
23:00.42 starseeker (good picture :-)
23:02.12 ``Erik well, I surpose it'd push our core functionality into a more standardized common approach, but don't tcl/tk things tend to want to dominate software architecture to mkae everything 'the tcl way'?
23:02.36 ``Erik (just like smalltalk wants things the oo way, c++/java wants things the wrong way, and lisp wants thing the bk way?)
23:02.40 ``Erik :D
23:04.06 starseeker well, yes and no. it requires tcl/tk wrappers around C libs, but if you do that "right" I don't think it needs to intrude deeply
23:04.49 starseeker Archer uses straight bwish unless/until you tell it to use mged.c
23:05.29 starseeker I'd be curious what mged -c behaviors couldn't be accomplished from a non-tk tcl instance of bwish...
23:06.47 starseeker (I hasten to add I'm sure there are reasons for mged.c, but given that Archer can function reasonably well without it I'd be hard pressed to do a case for/against bwish/mged.c
23:07.14 ``Erik <PROTECTED>
23:07.31 starseeker hmm?
23:11.27 starseeker oh

23:17.06 CIA-40 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r39480 10/brlcad/branches/dmtogl/src/mged/dm-togl.c: The third else case results in an empty vls, which apparently AppendResult doesn't like... just do it in the two cases that work on vls
