03:06.51 maths22 take a look: http://beta.brlcad.org/wiki/Main_page
03:10.06 maths22 two thoughts:
03:10.06 maths22 Why is there no header? (I didn't see one in the screenshots either)
03:10.06 maths22 Also, the keyboard shortcut stuff seems a bit prominent/overwhelming.
03:10.29 maths22 Ignore the part about screenshots (the problem with copy-pasting from an email)
03:21.33 starseeker makes a note to study this paper carefully: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.186.8418

03:41.48 brlcad maths22: not to be harsh, but I think that looks terrible
03:42.02 brlcad what are you working off of?

11:21.42 pulkit-pc I am trying to understand the code but the major issue i am facing is that i am not able to find where the specific definition of structures are there.For eg I was going through arb8.c just to implement one of the functionality and i find things like rt_db_internal,RT_ARB_CK_MAGIC etc . I am not able to locate these definitions. Is there any specific protocol followed in the name of these...
11:21.44 pulkit-pc ...structures/function.

15:43.03 andromeda-galaxy does anyone know anything about rt_brep_tclget/tcladjust?
15:45.39 archivist in irc best to ask the real question not does anyone....
15:46.12 andromeda-galaxy archivisit: thanks
15:46.36 andromeda-galaxy a better question: does anyone think it would be a problem to remove rt_brep_tclget/tcladjust?
15:46.51 andromeda-galaxy they aren't used anywhere as far as I can tell
15:53.37 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 59894 brlcad/trunk/src/libdm/dm-osg.cpp: Update the viewer frame at the end of a draw.

16:13.37 maths22 oops :)
16:16.34 andromeda-galaxy maths22: do you know how calling Tcl_ListObjGetElements works if called on the result of Tcl_NewStringObj? I'm seeing that happening a lot in librt/primitives/
16:18.51 maths22 no, I dont
16:19.05 maths22 I don't know anythign about TCL, but maybe I should learn
16:25.13 andromeda-galaxy maths22: I am trying to learn some of the TCL that BRL-CAD is using so that I can remove it, but I am still stuck on some things
16:25.28 andromeda-galaxy (like the ListObjGetElements on a StringObj)

17:49.10 DarkCalf waves to brlcad
17:49.54 DarkCalf sorry we missed fogo!
18:34.47 *** join/#brlcad Anaphaxeton (~george@unaffiliated/anaphaxeton)
18:52.56 pulkit-pc can someone explain me what does RT_ARB_CK_MAGIC do, and why we are setting up tolerance?
18:59.01 brlcad DarkCalf: next time
18:59.41 brlcad pulkit-pc: that's a basic memory validation check, to make sure memory is not corrupted (that an initialized object is properly initialized too)
19:00.30 brlcad andromeda-galaxy: the rt_*_tclget/tcladjust routines are used by a variety of interfaces, notably ascii export
19:00.49 pulkit-pc Ohh..Thanks :)
19:02.08 brlcad pulkit-pc: that macro should be declared (along with rt_db_internal) in the top-level include/ directory
19:02.14 brlcad that's were all public API resides
19:02.40 brlcad more specifically, it'll probably be in either rtgeom.h or raytrace.h (rt_db_internal is in the latter)
19:04.00 pulkit-pc Also why are we setting tolerance and where exactly is the definition for it?
19:55.36 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 59896 brlcad/trunk/src/libdm/dm-osg.cpp: Remove ogl logic not needed here, use Tk functions instead of X functions for width/height defaults
19:57.17 andromeda-galaxy brlcad: where are those?
19:57.28 andromeda-galaxy brlcad: I grepped through all of source/ and didn't see any uses
19:57.58 andromeda-galaxy (grep rt_brep_tcladjust -R src)
20:48.02 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 59897 brlcad/trunk/src/libdm/dm-osg.cpp: Eventually we'll probably want a composite viewer for handling faceplate and other things that need to be drawn in the viewing plane.
20:48.35 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 59898 brlcad/trunk/include/dm/dm-osg.h: commit header too
