01:40.26 andromeda-galaxy I'm trying to convert lc.tcl to lc.c; is using db_search() with DB_SEARCH_RETURN_UNIQ_DP the right way to get directory entries which can have db5_get_attributes() called on them?
01:54.05 andromeda-galaxy Actually, since I need the parent as well, I belive that using db_search() with DB_SEARCH_TREE and using DB_FULL_PATH_CUR_DIR() on the resultant db_full_path structs should work. Is this correct?
02:10.51 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
02:15.49 starseeker that should give you enough info
02:16.56 starseeker and yes, if you need parents you'll need the full paths
02:17.31 starseeker if you want just the parent and its immediate children in the path, use the depth limiter
02:18.16 starseeker the seach man page should cover the various options
02:31.13 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: thanks!

04:40.16 *** join/#brlcad sirnam (~swetha@49.205.215.143)
04:48.15 brlcad andromeda-galaxy: yes, a variety of ways
04:48.36 brlcad pathp->fp_names[last-1]->d_flags & RT_DIR_REGION if you have a full-path for example
04:48.37 andromeda-galaxy brlcad: hmm... I've been working on converting lc
04:48.48 andromeda-galaxy to c
04:48.56 brlcad tr_op == OP_REGION if youhave a tree pointer
04:49.19 andromeda-galaxy The TCL version has an option to ignore entries that are subtracted from their parents
04:49.53 andromeda-galaxy After looking around, my current approach to that is:
04:50.19 andromeda-galaxy -> Use region_flag to determine if a region (because I need the rt_comb_internal for the next step)
04:50.38 brlcad I believe search manpage has an example on how to find objects within subtracted parents (which you could use to exclude such entities)
04:50.59 andromeda-galaxy -> Do essentially what db_tree_flatten_describe() does, making a copy of the comb, flattening it, and looking at each leaf
04:51.18 andromeda-galaxy would you prefer I use search? I found some other examples of application code using rt_comb_internal
04:51.44 andromeda-galaxy (mostly in libged)
04:52.09 andromeda-galaxy /mged/wdb
04:54.40 brlcad <PROTECTED>
04:54.44 brlcad duplication is really bad
04:54.55 brlcad especially when it's only "slightly" different
04:55.08 brlcad if it's signficantly different and nothing like it, then sure
04:55.10 andromeda-galaxy brlcad: agreed... I was thinking about that myself
04:55.38 andromeda-galaxy I was only trying to do it this way because I couldn't figure out another way...
04:55.55 andromeda-galaxy (didn't think of search, noticed that the TCL did it by using 'l', followed the path of how 'l' found out)

04:56.31 MarcTannous my irc chat instance closed down, could not get to see if you replied regarding the addition of tasks
04:56.48 andromeda-galaxy brlcad: but a better way to do it might be to just adjust the initial search string to skip any that are subtracted if the flag is given

05:09.28 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: search does have some capabilities when it comes to booleans
05:09.51 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: indeed, brlcad just mentioned that to me, and I converted it...
05:11.00 starseeker usually the reason to avoid using db_search these days is if you need extreme performance (i.e. the malloc/free of db_full_path et. al. is too much overhead)
05:11.17 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: ahh...
05:12.25 starseeker that's relatively rare - I've had to do it in the case of the Qt interface because some of the highlighting modes have to frequently analyze the entire .g file
05:12.43 Notify 03GCI:tannousmarc * 5819771786362880 Write draft of BRL-CAD application interface design guidelines: Task Claimed - I would like to work on this task.
05:13.35 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: makes sense...
05:13.43 starseeker but for most user commands it's usually not a deal breaker, and (hopefully) it's easier to deal with db_search than the direct tree walking/manipulation of db_tree_flatten et. al.

05:15.14 andromeda-galaxy starseeke: indeed... I didn't realize it could do what I needed it to at first, oh well.
05:15.50 starseeker nods - it's a bit non-intuitive, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the unix find command (me)
05:15.53 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: also, please tell me that preserving the exact error message behavior from the original is really important... I spent a whole bunch of time thinking about how to do that despite moving to bu_getompt()
05:16.19 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: I am used to unix find... I just hadn't expected brl-cad's to be as sophisticated as it was
05:16.38 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: heh - I'm not familiar enough with the command to say
05:16.57 starseeker our search actually uses BSD find code as its "engine"
05:17.03 andromeda-galaxy really... interesting
05:17.24 starseeker was Sean's idea, and I got sort of carried away implementing it...
05:17.58 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: ahh... well, having it be more powerful is probably better than having it be not powerful enough
05:17.59 starseeker major piece that we're missing at this point is -exec
05:18.24 andromeda-galaxy that's what I was just thinking of! with -exec, you could almost replace rt_db_walk with db_find, right?
05:18.56 starseeker you could, but it's quite possible that the raytracing core is another of those areas where performance really counts
05:19.01 starseeker even likely
05:19.13 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: true.
05:19.33 starseeker there are a number of MGED commands that can/should switch to using search as a back-end
05:20.02 starseeker it's a relatively recent development in BRL-CAD's history, so it's not widely integrated into things as yet
05:20.48 andromeda-galaxy hopefully soon!
05:20.53 starseeker my personal favorite is the new gdiff command - it can accept search filters to display subsets of output
05:21.48 andromeda-galaxy sounds useful
05:22.26 starseeker the trick when comparing two .g files (which may have a *lot* of differences) is how to display information in a useful fashion
05:24.13 starseeker that's one nice thing about CAD - no shortage of interesting problems ;-)
05:24.19 andromeda-galaxy indeed :-)
05:25.27 brlcad MarcTannous: I saw your list of tasks, thanks, will get some added
05:25.46 MarcTannous brlcad: thank you :D is the split layout a "doable" concept?
05:27.07 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: nice work by the way on those file conversions
05:27.17 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: thanks!
05:28.14 starseeker you were thinking the next task in that series should be how to translate the Fortran input handling?
05:28.23 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: I was
05:28.32 ignacio Good night everyone!
05:28.37 andromeda-galaxy I have the first of of naca465.c done, and then I ran into reading the input
05:29.11 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: is it a parsing problem (flex/bison style) or more a question of how to store what's being read in?
05:29.21 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: probably a little bit of both
05:29.40 andromeda-galaxy I think that using a parser generator is probably a bit overkill, though
05:29.49 starseeker OK :-)
05:30.10 brlcad MarcTannous: it's certainly doable, though I don't think it works for this particular list of do's/don'ts as optimally
05:30.14 starseeker was going to point you to perplex/re2c/lemon if that became necessary, but better to keep it simple if we can
05:30.33 brlcad i think that approach will be better for the topics I mentioned, where the do's have little/nothing to do with the don'ts
05:30.33 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: indeed.
05:30.58 MarcTannous yes, you are correct, I realised that pretty much at the end when testing
05:31.02 brlcad for style, you kind of what to see the good right next to the bad, so it's clear what the point was
05:31.25 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: remind me tomorrow if we don't get it posted, but it sounds like you aren't having trouble finding interesting things to do in the meantime ;-)
05:31.38 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: ok, I will

05:41.32 MarcTannous yes
05:42.01 brlcad okay, so then the answer is "it's very flexible"

05:50.15 brlcad the problem with the logo there is that it doesn't shrink down very well with those large inner pegs

05:56.38 brlcad because the goal was to end up with a version of the logo that is in our geometry format and even rendered with our tools :)

05:56.58 brlcad yeah, that was to get even more interpretations
05:57.06 MarcTannous did anyone submit yet?
05:57.19 brlcad we have 3-4 from last year that are interesting and maths22's was by far the most clean and directly applicable
05:57.27 brlcad I only had to fix a few things in it
05:57.52 brlcad there's been hardly any modeling activity this year, which is surprising
05:57.57 MarcTannous I'll give it a try, however my 3D modelling skills are sub-par, having not done it before in my life :)
05:58.15 MarcTannous could you give me a link of what maths22 did?
05:58.23 brlcad in the past, we've gotten interested from several students
05:58.49 brlcad no, i'll just post my version up and create a task to recreate the logo based off of it
05:59.47 MarcTannous will give it a try :D

06:49.20 andromeda-galaxy When I do the stub task I'll fix all the crashes that the fact that I couldn't test the code caused?

06:49.44 andromeda-galaxy (though it *looks* right, it probably doesn't entirely work)

12:56.33 andrei_ what do you mean, YashM ?
12:59.13 YashM_ he was doing an eliminating global var task yesterda
13:00.37 andrei_ he probably finished it
13:00.55 YashM_ he didnt
13:01.19 YashM_ i think putting the var in a common header file isnt eliminating
13:01.35 andrei_ is the task closed?
13:01.52 MarcTannous andrei_,yashm_ I put it on 'pause' for the time being as there were quite a few graphics task I could complete
13:01.55 andrei_ I don t have the task at hand, I just have a good idea which one you re talking about
13:02.08 MarcTannous and I also had no idea on where to add the function Sean requested without making it global
13:02.24 MarcTannous due to the fact that that exact array was being used in more than one folder of /src/
13:02.56 andrei_ MarcTannous: I don t think it's the case, but some global variables removal can be real tricky
13:03.53 MarcTannous andrei_, I also thought this was easy but it is being used in numerous files that have no common header, are in different folders and their "lowest" common "ancestor", if we were to think of the directory as a tree, would be /src/
13:04.19 MarcTannous so I think that declaring it non-globally would not work
13:04.30 andrei_ brlcad has a more in-depth view of the source code than me, this is why you need to discuss with him ..

13:13.57 andrei_ YashM, I think it depends on what kind of tasks you do as well
13:13.59 andrei_ also, don t worry
13:14.06 andrei_ sleep is important :)
13:14.35 andrei_ through some weeks during my college, I was averaging 3-4 hours per day

13:18.03 MarcTannous so it's not like they are all simple
13:18.30 andrei_ yeah
13:18.32 MarcTannous I just am trying to manage my time as good as possible. I considered Google Code in my priority for the following month, with sleep & school being secondary :D
13:18.36 YashM_ yeah the thing is i am not getting 8 hours a day somehow

22:28.22 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: I'm afraid I don't
22:28.39 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: oh well...
22:28.49 starseeker does the code cite any papers?
22:29.02 andromeda-galaxy Unfortunately, no
22:29.53 andromeda-galaxy b
22:30.11 andromeda-galaxy sorry, trying to switch buffer but didn't press C-x hard enough
22:31.13 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: this might be useful (not sure) http://geomalgorithms.com/a07-_distance.html
22:31.35 andromeda-galaxy I just found that myself, looking for the sc/tc variables used in the code
22:31.42 andromeda-galaxy I'll look and see if it seems like it's correct
22:34.26 starseeker http://paulbourke.net/geometry/pointlineplane/
22:36.29 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: ah, I think this was what I was thinking of: http://www.geometrictools.com/Samples/Geometrics.html#DistanceSegments3
22:36.58 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: looks promising
22:37.18 andromeda-galaxy the code near the end of http://geomalgorithms.com/a07-_distance.html looks pretty much the same as ours, al8so
22:37.18 starseeker Boost license, so OK to use - would have to be translated to our data types, of course...
22:37.37 Notify 03GCI:odyssey * 6339238148702208 Identify and eliminate dead code (100+ lines) #5: Claim Removed - The claim on this task has been removed, someone else can claim it now.
22:37.58 andromeda-galaxy so that algorithm is probably correct
22:38.56 Notify 03GCI:ello * 5001497033048064 Transcribe Geometry Model Data from a PDF report to an ASCII file Helicopter #2: Task Claimed - I would like to work on this task.

22:42.29 starseeker is almost tempted to make some GCI tasks to convert some of those algorithms to libbn algorithms...
22:43.09 andromeda-galaxy I think that the problem ma have been the fact that previously pdist = sc * magnitude(pdir) and qdist = tc * magnitude(qdir)
22:44.08 andromeda-galaxy I noticed that the algorithm described on the geomalgorithms.com page didn't include those terms, so I tried removing them, and it seems to be working better...
22:45.10 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: but further investigating shows that the function was doing the right thing, it's just that the caller was doing it wrong
22:45.23 starseeker ah
22:45.44 andromeda-galaxy the difference between what t should be for them to intersect and the actual distance to the intersection point can be somewhat subtle
22:46.21 starseeker feel free to add any comments/examples you think might help illustrate how to use it correctly :-)
22:46.45 andromeda-galaxy might be worth rephrasing part of the header comment, not entirely sure..
22:52.14 starseeker andromeda-galaxy: do you think the task of translating some of the GeometricTools (a.k.a WildMagic) C++ algorithms into BRL-CAD would be of interest as GCI tasks?
22:52.29 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: quite possibly...
22:53.09 starseeker they have a whole slew of interesting bits in there
22:53.34 andromeda-galaxy indeed
22:55.40 starseeker yeesh they even have surface fitting of some sort
22:55.59 andromeda-galaxy wow!
22:56.15 starseeker doubt it's to a closed solid, but still...
22:57.14 starseeker that oriented bounding box code might be interesting - would like to replace the code we currently use for that, if this is reasonably fast...
22:57.31 andromeda-galaxy hmmm...
22:59.21 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: the header comment for bn_isect_line_lseg() says that it returns the value of t for the intersection
22:59.28 andromeda-galaxy but it *actually* returns the distance to the intersection
22:59.35 starseeker OK, so that's a bug
22:59.39 starseeker (documentation)
23:00.01 andromeda-galaxy Since everything else is probably already built around that, I should change the documentation and the tests, but not the code, right?
23:00.04 starseeker or actually, might be worth checking if any code uses it
23:00.33 starseeker right, unless the code looks like it is assuming it's returning t (might be a source of more bugs)
23:00.43 starseeker s/code/calling code/
23:01.05 andromeda-galaxy pretty much just nmg_rt_isect.c
23:01.59 andromeda-galaxy isect_ray_lseg(), which calls, it does assume it to the distance along the ray (scans it into a variable called dist_along_ray)
23:02.16 starseeker OK, so yeah it's a doc fix then
23:02.42 starseeker O.o http://www.geometrictools.com/Source/Interpolation.html
23:02.53 starseeker yeow
23:03.48 andromeda-galaxy I think I did find a real bug in the function too, though
23:03.59 starseeker sweet
23:04.04 andromeda-galaxy isect_point was basically being set to the vector between p and the intersection
23:04.11 andromeda-galaxy instead of the intersection itself
23:04.28 andromeda-galaxy VSCALE(isect_pt, d_unit, dist1)
23:04.42 andromeda-galaxy i.e. d units along p in the direction of dist1
23:04.53 andromeda-galaxy it caused the return values to be wrong once in a while, I think
23:07.03 starseeker sounds like it might have been trying to return the parameterization after all then
23:07.28 andromeda-galaxy I'm not sure... the situation overalli s a little weird
23:08.11 andromeda-galaxy it just used the isect_pt to calculate how for off A and B were, to decide where on the infinite line around A<->B the hit was
23:08.17 starseeker if it is actually returning the value t along the ray, then to get the 3d intersection point will require another calculation step
23:10.04 andromeda-galaxy isect = t + p, right?
23:11.13 starseeker t is a parameterization along one of the line segments (if I'm understanding correctly) so you'd plug t into whatever the parametric equation is for that segment
23:11.44 andromeda-galaxy the function is given P and D, for line X = P = tD
23:11.58 andromeda-galaxy I mean, X = P + tD
23:12.14 andromeda-galaxy so if k (say) is the distance down the ray, then isect_Pt = P + k
23:12.26 starseeker so wouldn't p(intersect) = P + t(intersect)D ?
23:12.29 andromeda-galaxy (k is distance in the correct direction, thats's the d_unit scale ffrom earlier)
23:12.40 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: it would, if t is the parameter for intersect
23:12.49 andromeda-galaxy but the function is returning the distance (tD) not the parameter
23:13.08 andromeda-galaxy (which appears to be expected, the documentation must have been wrogn)
23:13.30 andromeda-galaxy the bug I found was that given all of that, it basically did isect_pt = tD instead of isect_Pt = P + tD
23:14.04 starseeker suggests constructing a few test cases where you know the answers to see if it all makes sense
23:14.35 andromeda-galaxy remembers that I should actually go fix those tests, since this whole thing came out of trying to fix the tests
23:16.35 starseeker heh
23:27.57 andromeda-galaxy when did the regression tests get integrated into make test?
23:28.41 andromeda-galaxy and.... They all pass!
23:33.05 andromeda-galaxy starseeker: over the course of the day, I've gotten the number of failing tests down to 5! (70, 575, 576, 638, 643)
23:39.29 starseeker awesome!
23:39.52 starseeker that's recent
23:40.03 starseeker to run just the non-regression tests, do "make check"
23:42.46 andromeda-galaxy ahh...
23:42.49 andromeda-galaxy that'll speed things ut
23:43.02 andromeda-galaxy *uep
23:43.48 andromeda-galaxy for me, two of the regression tests fail when run with 'make test', but don't seem to be a problem when run with 'make regress'
23:43.56 andromeda-galaxy any idea what's causing that?
23:50.07 andromeda-galaxy also, is there any reason not to just turn bn_vec_ae() into a call to bn_vec_aed?
23:55.04 Stragus That would mean more overhead, unnecessary computations
