@Sean
Hey, could you take a look at my patch's current state?
https://gitlab.com/snippets/1706514
I think it is done, the C side is as polished as it can be and I did my best to update the manpages.

Peter Pronai (Apr 22 2018 at 14:54):

@Sean (not sure if the previous pm was sent properly)

Sean (Apr 22 2018 at 15:04):

@Peter Pronai okay, will do -- thanks!

Peter Pronai (Apr 22 2018 at 15:07):

@Sean btw, is write access to the DB necessary when printing colors? I found it weird that there was a check for that but I didn't mess with it because I assumed there is a good reason for it.

Sean (Apr 22 2018 at 15:32):

@Peter Pronai probably not but would depend if it has a way to set colors. definitely shouldn't be checking for write if all it's doing is printing

Excellent, looks like you actually DON'T have to have a topic. It's kind of annoying sometimes. :)

Hi Eshaa this side.Can anyone help me out in contributingto BRL-CAD.

Sean (Dec 10 2019 at 08:00):

Probably, but not without a problem and possibly details

How to open ogv file in cmd and run it?

Hey everyone, I’m just asking if the OGV (Online Geometry Viewer) works with MAC? Thanks 😊

Jeffrey Liu (Jan 16 2020 at 06:13):

I haven't done it myself (nor am I on MAC to begin with) but it looks like the OGV README has some instructions for building on macOS https://github.com/BRL-CAD/OGV-meteor/blob/development/README.md so I would assume it does work.

Sean (Jan 16 2020 at 06:19):

I haven't attempted it myself in quite some time. But in theory there's not anything inherently problematic.

ProCodec (Jan 18 2020 at 00:48):

Is there any mentor for DRL-CAD task in here???? '

Sean (Jan 18 2020 at 04:04):

Hi @ProCodec, yes there are several mentors (and other participants) in here?

Sean (Jan 18 2020 at 04:13):

If you have a question, best to just ask it, not ask if people are here or ask if you can ask a question. Someone will always respond.

Harpreet Singh (Feb 19 2020 at 15:02):

Hello ! I'm Harpreet. I'm new to open source and looking forward working with BRL-CAD.I've been reading the wiki and documentations. I've compiled the software and want to get started. while I was wandering through the Deuces I found my interest in "Solve fonts related bug in new wiki theme" but the link provided below doesn't seem to work. though if you guys have any other suggestion for me then i'll be super glad to know ^_^

Jeffrey Liu (Feb 20 2020 at 21:40):

Welcome @Harpreet Singh! Seeing as Deuces hasn't been updated in a quite while, it may be possible that some of the listed tasks are out of date. Is there anything about BRL-CAD that you are especially interested in (website development, documentation, coding, modeling, etc)?

Harpreet Singh (Feb 21 2020 at 01:29):

hey Jeffrey Liu.Actually to begin with i'm A Mechanical Engineering student. Having interest in 3d geometry and modelling as well as better understanding of most of the in's and outs of CAD/CAM ie. assembly, simulations etc in some of the advanced 3D cad design softwares , I think it might be bit helpful for me. though i've good understanding of HTML CSS and Javascript(basics). I won't consider my self a full-flenged developer but i'll try my best.

And i'm currently grasping python. i might say i have a very good hand at this. so think i'll be contributing for coding and modeling and most probably website development too. though i'm open to suggestions. i'll be happy to know.

Jeffrey Liu (Feb 21 2020 at 02:01):

Great to hear! In that case, it may help to familiarize yourself with MGED: https://brlcad.org/w/images/c/cf/Introduction_to_MGED.pdf or https://brlcad.org/w/images/9/90/Intro_to_BRL-CAD.pdf (both links are great introductions to MGED). Some of the more experienced developers may be able to provide some better insight regarding where to work after that.

Harpreet Singh (Feb 21 2020 at 02:16):

thanks @Jeffrey Liu i'll proceed with that

Hi everyone, I have one question. Font size and other UI of Archer on linux are too small to see. How to solve it?
code version: 7.32.7
OS: ubuntu 20.04

GregoryLi (Apr 26 2022 at 11:16):

GregoryLi (Apr 26 2022 at 11:18):

with 1920*1080 screen.

Sean (Apr 26 2022 at 15:35):

font size settings is on the options menu iirc...

GregoryLi (Apr 27 2022 at 00:35):

Yes, but this setting is useless after config, apply and even restart Archer on linux and windows. Screenshot-from-2022-04-27-08-13-26.png

GregoryLi (Apr 27 2022 at 00:52):

Well, I know why my font is almost invisible. My display scale is 125%, set system scaling=100% or 200% will make font size normal, but still can not be configed.
Similar problems exist on other softwares on Ubuntu. It's said that the root cause of these problems is that Qt has always had problems with non-integer scaling support, and Qt 5.6 later added DPI awareness to solve this problem, it's better to enable support (QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html)

Sean (Apr 27 2022 at 06:35):

Do you mean useless because it resets or because it didn't do anything for you? The settings are stored in a .archerrc configuration file in your home directory.

GregoryLi (Apr 28 2022 at 01:57):

It didn't reset. The only thing it changed is the the font size of the axes.
