IRC log for #brlcad on 20121117

00:21.27 starseeker brlcad: It's more that I want a bib file for things that aren't specifically BRL-CAD related (early raytracing papers, MAGIC, GIFT, NURBS papers, etc...)
00:22.29 starseeker I can just make my own, but I thought since most of it relates to CAD topics in some fashion or other it might be reusable...
01:17.13 brlcad starseeker: but if you were to write a description of what is covered, what would it say, where would the line be drawn for what is included or not included?
01:17.41 brlcad "This is a random collection of papers Cliff ran across." ? :)
01:18.08 brlcad those are all related to brl-cad underpinnings, but then so are a couple hundred more :)
01:18.46 brlcad it's worthwhile, it's just something that'd be hard to make complete -- though that would be a great set of GCI tasks...
01:19.52 brlcad care to add them? :) e.g., identify all of the algorithms and papers referenced in libbu and summarize them in libbu format
01:20.16 brlcad maybe libbu+libbn
01:21.26 brlcad another for nurbs, another for nmg (radial edge), another for other sets of prims, another for csg/booleans, etc...
01:24.16 brlcad format all of the referenced papers in "
01:24.18 brlcad Practical Parallel Rendering"
02:30.30 louipc ``Erik: mged new db dialog has a 'save' button
02:32.24 louipc doh missed the scrolling
04:32.02 starseeker brlcad: I'll see if I can add a few, but you'll probably want to retarget their categorizations...
04:33.00 starseeker should probably recommend using jabref

05:50.11 brlcad starseeker: whatever makes it dead easy and doesn't require explanation ;)
05:51.58 brlcad would think they go under documentation

14:39.02 brlcad looks like I'm down to just one more bug before this single-precision build is complete
14:39.10 starseeker sweet!

15:03.47 starseeker brlcad: where are there paper references in libbu?
15:06.05 starseeker puts up the NURBS one - that's pretty easy to define
15:11.55 brlcad that are documented, probably not -- but that's part of the task -- identify the algorithms used (based on bu.h)
15:12.19 brlcad find one or more papers for each algorithm
15:14.32 starseeker urm
15:16.26 starseeker isn't sure that's a two hour task for any of the libs - they have a lotta stuff, and some of the papers for the fundamental ones are probably classics dating back many decades...
15:54.33 *** join/#brlcad Stattrav (~Stattrav@unaffiliated/stattrav)
16:21.16 brlcad two hours to read through a header and look up algorithm papers on arxiv.org? seems doable to me
16:21.21 brlcad most high-school kids are more versed in that than adults
16:21.45 brlcad finding absolutely everything, sure maybe not but could also say "find 10 unique references, format in bib format
16:21.56 brlcad or whatever XX

18:55.19 jarray52 Has anyone used this http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?12,14558,15121
18:55.21 jarray52 ?
18:56.14 jarray52 I ran the make file and it generates a .brlcad file.
18:56.23 jarray52 I'm wondering what to do with the file.
19:37.30 jarray52 How does one run the following brlcad script file? http://dpaste.com/832609/
20:02.14 louipc jarray52: run that with mged
20:03.33 jarray52 louipc: mged -c mydatabase.g "in body.s rpp 0 16 032 048" can run one command on mydatabase.g. How does one run an entire file on a database?
20:08.04 jarray52 Oh...
20:08.07 jarray52 I see.
20:08.30 jarray52 mged -c mydatabase.g "source geegaw.brlcad"
20:09.44 louipc you can use output redirection too
20:12.07 jarray52 louipc: What's the command?
20:13.14 louipc cat filename > mged myfile.g
20:13.44 jarray52 louipc: Thanks
20:15.02 louipc jarray52: lot of programs can be used with this feature of bash
20:15.19 jarray52 Thanks
22:02.15 brlcad jarray52: this shows several ways to invoke MGED commands: http://brlcad.org/wiki/SGI_Cube
22:02.47 brlcad louipc: that should have been "cat filename | mged myfile.g" no? :)
22:03.40 brlcad lots of ways to feed mged commands
22:03.59 brlcad echo "command1; command2" | mged test.g
22:04.18 brlcad mged teswt.g <<EOF
22:04.18 jarray52 brlcad: Thanks.
22:04.22 brlcad command1
22:04.23 brlcad command2
22:04.25 brlcad EOF
22:04.32 brlcad mged test.g "command1; command2"
22:04.36 jarray52 brlcad: I'm starting to get the hang of this
22:04.49 brlcad mged test.g <script.mged
22:04.56 brlcad cat script.mged | mged.test.g
22:05.06 brlcad mged test.g "source script.mged"
22:05.08 brlcad ... ;)
