03:19.26 starseeker brlcad: the src/fb man pages appear to be missing 1 page (fb-cmap) and don't pass xmllint validation
03:20.21 starseeker I can clean it up, or we could add another task to start with that patch and go the rest of the way...
03:21.31 caen23 starseeker: i could do it :D
03:21.38 starseeker heh
03:21.57 starseeker keep an eye out for what brlcad decides
03:22.19 caen23 but if you'd like someone else to try their hands at docbook tasks, it's fine xD
03:22.34 starseeker if we're lucky, we'll actually end this GCI round with all of our man pages in docbook and validating
03:22.59 starseeker caen23: I'd be fine with you doing it, but I'm not actually officially acting as a GCI mentor this go-around
03:23.30 caen23 ah, alright :D
03:23.49 starseeker just helping out with things that fall into my wheelhouse - the DocBook CMake system is my fault, so I'm the one who gets to figure out what's going on with it
03:24.09 starseeker caen23: you're not tired of DocBook yet? :-{
03:24.13 starseeker :-P rather
03:25.01 caen23 it can get tiring, but it does have a learning curve, so i was thinking things would go faster :D
03:25.20 starseeker Oh, you'd undoubtedly mow through it at this point
03:25.34 starseeker come to think of it... is the src/util task unclaimed?
03:26.33 caen23 it doesn't appear to be open, so someone must be on to it

03:39.35 starseeker caen23: out of curiosity, which platform do you develop on?
03:41.21 caen23 starseeker: os x
03:41.46 starseeker cool
03:42.25 caen23 how about you?
03:43.13 starseeker Gentoo Linux
03:44.07 starseeker will be interesting to see if we get some Windows guys in
03:44.48 caen23 i tried it too a couple of years ago. but i like arch best. btw, what editor? :D
03:45.00 starseeker vim
03:45.07 starseeker my hands aren't flexible enough for emacs
03:46.09 caen23 yeah, i don't click with emacs either. especially moving around
03:47.01 starseeker caen23: if you have Windows in a VM on your mac, you could always take a stab at adding thread creation :-P
03:48.26 caen23 i could give it a shot, but it'll take me a while to set up the dev tools on windows ^^
03:49.07 starseeker caen23: heh - I wouldn't want to be guilty of encouraging you to drive yourself mad :-P
03:50.13 caen23 :D
03:50.20 starseeker caen23: do you lean towards web development?
03:52.05 starseeker caen23: actually, if you're interested in a documentation task - the libbn doxygen task looks like it's unclaimed
03:52.29 starseeker suspects if you can deal with DocBook, doxygen won't present any great difficulties
03:53.11 caen23 not necessarily. i started with web programming, but right now i like writing small shell tools in python, and i plan on learning about arduino, operating systems and compilers. i could complete web dev tasks, though
03:53.33 starseeker caen23: was just wondering which type of task you'd find "most fun"
03:54.17 caen23 i plan on focusing on code/documentation tasks for now :D
03:54.45 starseeker that's how I lean - I'm rather weak when it comes to web stuff
03:54.58 starseeker haven't messed around with it enough for it to be instinctive
03:56.06 caen23 during the summer i learned more about http and html5, and last month i started writing a web server in python, just to try and understand http better
03:56.23 starseeker realizes he doesn't have doxygen installed and corrects that...

21:22.36 matt_s hello!
21:23.26 matt_s I need some help checking a GCI project.
21:23.36 matt_s pretty basic help, actually.
21:25.33 *** join/#brlcad andrei (~andrei@188.25.160.152)
21:28.07 matt_s Basically, I'm not sure how to actually call the function the student built. It compiles fine, so that's good.
21:28.34 matt_s I just need to check the out put, and then it's good to go.
21:28.51 matt_s But I'm not sure how to actually do that from within mged...
21:29.07 matt_s feeling rather dumb at the moment.
21:30.46 andrei matt_s: couldn't you test it separately for some set of inputs?
21:31.40 matt_s How do you mean?
21:32.11 andrei is the function in a .c file ?
21:32.25 andrei you could write something similar to a test unit for it
21:32.34 matt_s Yeah, he's simply stuck a few extra lines in hyp.c
21:33.06 matt_s Programming is not my strong suit--working out the mathematics is.
21:33.46 andrei What I mean is that you create another .c file in that library where you call his function
21:34.09 andrei and you give a set of inputs for which you know the answer
21:34.12 andrei output*
21:34.39 andrei or is it a function that should compute something graphic like draw a polygon?
21:35.01 matt_s No, it's just supposed to return the volume
21:35.32 andrei Well then I suggest you use an alternate way to compute the volume( I assume you can do it with octave, for example)
21:35.53 andrei compute the volume for a set of points, then pass that set of points to the function the student wrote
21:35.55 matt_s I have already done it in numpy,
21:36.35 matt_s but what I'm stuck with is the actual semantics of how I pass the values to the student's function.
21:37.00 andrei I will have a look at it but I need to find hyp.c
21:37.22 matt_s The function itself is rather simple, just a one-line computation.
21:37.43 matt_s http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7987216
21:37.45 matt_s his
21:38.02 matt_s src/librt/primitives/hyp/hyp.c
21:38.43 andrei he uploaded the whole file, how is the function called
21:38.57 andrei rt_volume() ?
21:39.25 matt_s THAT'S exactly what I'm asking.
21:40.05 andrei aah, now we solved the misunderstanding. Hold on a bit please
21:40.10 matt_s Oh, look at that, his newest version (Dec. 1) does not compile..
21:41.57 andrei Matt, I found his function
21:42.21 andrei http://slexy.org/view/s21GA1Bw7C
21:42.26 andrei tell me if this is what you were looking for
21:43.00 andrei in his latest version, you can find it at line 1366 :)
21:48.04 matt_s yup, that's the version that does not compile.
21:49.28 matt_s 1375,1378c1375,1381 < struct hyp_specific *hyp_sp = hyp_internal_to_specific(tip); < fastf_t h = hyp_sp->hyp_Hmag; < fastf_t r1 = hyp_sp->hyp_r1; < fastf_t c = hyp_sp->hyp_c; --- > > fastf_t r1 = ip->hyp_bnr * MAGNITUDE(ip->hyp_A); > fastf_t _c = sqrt(4 * MAGSQ(ip->hyp_A) / MAGSQ(ip->hyp_Hi) * (1 - ip->hyp_bnr * ip->hyp_bnr)); > vect_t *hyp_H; > VSCALE(hyp_H, ip->hyp_Hi, 0.5); > fastf_t h = MAGN
21:49.36 matt_s hm, that's ugly
21:50.06 matt_s that's the diff bewtween nov 30 (works) and dec 01 (will not compile)
21:50.34 matt_s Not terribly important, the function is fundamentally the same in both cases.
21:50.41 matt_s Now, how to call it...
21:51.32 matt_s from within mged, that is.
21:53.41 *** join/#brlcad KimK (~Kim__@wsip-184-176-200-171.ks.ks.cox.net)
21:55.52 andrei Matt, I don't know how to do that but I suggested the following: the function returns avoid so I assume that the volume is returned in the first parameter " fastf_t *vol". You could see where "const struct rt_db_internal" is defined and just write a structure of that type manually
21:56.02 andrei a void, instead of avoid
21:56.54 matt_s sigh...
21:57.07 matt_s My C skills are so very poor.
21:58.05 andrei No worries, after all, nobody can have advanced skills in everything. I ll try and see if I can help
21:58.27 matt_s Dare to dream!
21:58.30 matt_s :-)
21:58.50 andrei that would imply that I would get to sleep, which rarely happens. :)
21:59.02 matt_s I hear that...
22:00.45 *** part/#brlcad jarray52 (~bigbear@unaffiliated/jarray52)
22:01.32 andrei I m trying to find where that structure is defined but grep throws out a lot of matches
22:01.48 Barakados what's the best way to check for errors
22:02.48 andrei Barakados : if you edited or added code, the first test is succesfully compiling brlcad
22:03.09 Barakados i'm checking grammar
22:03.19 matt_s Yeah, that's about as far as I got.
22:04.01 andrei I don't think there is a way to check grammar errors automatically, or at least not a simple way to do that.
22:04.05 matt_s This is a useful exercise for me though, as I've been meaning to figure this out for a number of weeks now.
22:04.37 Barakados well, i am on a mac, and i don't know how to apply a patch
22:05.09 andrei matt_s : I found the structure that your function uses in /include/raytrace.h at line 189
22:05.32 andrei Barakados: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Patches. Let me know if you need any help
22:05.56 matt_s andrei : KK, looking at that now.
22:06.32 andrei matt_s : what I am trying to do is sort of reverse engineer that structure parameter, since it determine volumes, it has to get a list of points somewhere. I imagine that if we would be able to give a list of points to that function we could compare that output with what you have
22:06.34 Barakados andrei, i'm correcting the pdf
22:08.31 andrei Are you able to edit it ?
22:08.48 andrei Because I don't think you were supposed to edit the pdf, I haven't looked at your task tho.
22:09.00 matt_s I just built a quick function in numpy that that computes the volume via http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hyperboloid.html
22:10.30 matt_s Which is the same thing Ben Bray has done.
22:10.39 matt_s In theory, anyway.
22:11.31 andrei <PROTECTED>
22:12.48 andrei The structure that contains data needed to determine volume is struct rt_functab(line 2004/raytrace.h) but I don't think you can manually set those values
22:14.16 matt_s What do you mean it's not defined by a set of point?
22:14.37 matt_s As in how one actually constructs one via "in:?
22:14.49 matt_s er, "in"?
22:15.04 andrei yes, you can define a cube by a set of 3d points, for example.
22:15.52 andrei I didn't realise what kind of geometric figure we have, so I imagined that the volume function must get a list of points as parameter
22:17.02 matt_s Ah.
22:17.43 matt_s No, this is sent some information about the asymptotes of the hyperbola and whatnot.
22:19.11 andrei I wanted to avoid using mged by adding the data manually(it isn't difficult to manually determine points for a less complex geometric figure)
22:19.38 andrei something like computeCubeVolume(float *vol, <List_of_points>);
22:19.53 andrei but it won't work for your figure, or I m not able to explain how
