00:40.48 starseeker also a good example for the whole "generate drawings" discussion

11:48.26 brlcad hm, so starting to get some performance numbers from that nmg optimization
11:49.11 brlcad been running 5+ days (not finished) without the optimization, took approximately 3 days with it
11:49.51 brlcad so maybe cut the time in half for those bad cases, but they're still absurdly slow due to other order problems

12:12.10 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41328 10/brlcad/trunk/ (doc/deprecation.txt include/bu.h src/libbu/vlb.c): rename bu_vlb_getBuffer() and bu_vlb_getBufferLength() to bu_vlb_addr() and bu_vlb_buflen() to be consistent with the bu_vls routines. also make all sizes used by bu_vlb be size_t instead of int.
12:15.44 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41329 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librtserver/ (rtserver.c rtserverTest.c): update to rename calls of bu_vlb_getBuffer() and bu_vlb_getBufferLength() to bu_vlb_addr() and bu_vlb_buflen() respectively.
12:16.55 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41330 10/brlcad/trunk/include/bu.h: moved BU_VLB_BLOCK_SIZE into the header since it doesn't need to be public api.
12:18.12 CIA-48 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41331 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/vlb.c: in fact, remove the BU_ prefix so there's no confusion

14:57.54 brlcad neato
14:57.57 brlcad downloads everything
14:59.33 brlcad awesome, trimmed nurbs
15:06.39 starseeker hmm - this might be a good paper to print Quick Reference Cards on: http://www.amazon.com/Xerox-3R12363-Polyester-Paper-Sheets/dp/B0013C9AUK
15:11.11 brlcad aaand iges-g crashes.. lovely :)
15:11.20 starseeker brlcad: do we have an editable form of the quick reference card anywhere?
15:11.32 brlcad sure, but it's in indesign
15:11.49 brlcad adobe cs
15:11.50 starseeker urk
15:12.05 starseeker alrightie then
15:12.19 starseeker will try loading the pdf into inkscape tonight
15:12.29 brlcad also uses a specific font that's not common
15:12.46 starseeker commercial?
15:13.08 brlcad it might be useful to convert it to ODT if it can handle the layout
15:13.27 brlcad then it'd be committable
15:13.36 brlcad hits the road
15:25.27 starseeker huh, cool - http://www.taskjuggler.org/
15:42.01 brlcad awesome time lapse: http://vimeo.com/15780202
15:42.29 brlcad yeah, I looked at TJ
15:42.31 brlcad not too shabby
16:10.25 d-lo watching the concrete dry via timelapse is pretty awesome :)
16:34.29 willdye starseeker: if taskjuggler is too heavyweight for your needs (and if you're an emacs user), this might be of interest: http://orgmode.org/

18:23.11 starseeker looks like the best bet for Scribus import is to export the Indesign format to pdf, svg or eps and import it, if I'm understanding these docs right
18:23.42 starseeker (heh - looks like we found a group as picky as you are about fonts brlcad)

18:44.10 brlcad if they're doing desktop publishing, they better be
18:45.24 brlcad selecting proper fonts and maintaining clean alignment is NOT secondary or afterthought .. it IS the task...

19:36.51 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41332 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/other/tk/CMakeLists.txt: Wrap a few things in conditionals for Tk - this should be made more coherent, but for now it gets things going.
21:08.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41333 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: bob fixed the erase_all command so that 'who' command and subsequent rt calls yield the proper results.
21:22.17 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41334 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/other/tk/CMakeLists.txt: Break down the X11 libs a little more
21:37.01 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41335 10/brlcad/trunk/ (include/ged.h src/libged/rt.c): add a new ged_count_tops() routine that counts the number of visibile (top-level) objects.
21:39.13 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41336 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libtclcad/ged_obj.c: more MAXARGS elimination, use GO_UNLIMITED so we know when we don't even need to check maxargs
21:41.26 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41337 10/brlcad/trunk/src/ (libdm/dm-rtgl.c mged/cmd.c): use ged_count_tops() to get the size that we need to allocate so MAXARGS can be eliminated and code can be simplified.
21:42.23 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41338 10/brlcad/trunk/sh/conversion.sh: accommodate the Using debug statement from mged/libtclcad with a simple grep.
21:45.49 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41339 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libtclcad/ged_obj.c: alloc AND free.. and pass the right params.

21:53.40 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41341 10/brlcad/trunk/include/ged.h: ack, gd_rt_cmd needs to be a char ** for this to work, not an array.
21:58.51 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41342 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/ (malloc.c tcl.c): unbreak build due to type warnings. fixit.
