Hey! I think I found an error in page 79 of the tutorial (http://brlcad.org/w/images/c/cf/Introduction_to_MGED.pdf) says:
Enter X, Y, Z, of vector C: .6 0 0<ENTER>
Enter radius of revolution, r: 1.45<ENTER>
but when I tried to run it, it asked me the radius of revolution first and then the X, Y, Z of vector C
Also, in page 100, it says that the tree of candle1.c is
candle1.c/
u base1.r/R
u eto1.s
u rcc1.s
u eto2.s
- rcc2.s
u candle1.r/R
u rcc2.s
u flame1.r/R
u part1.s
but since we typed "r base1.r u eto1.s u rcc1.s u eto2.s", eto2.s is not supposed to be part of rcc1.s, right?
Similarly, in page 109 it says that eto2.s is part of sph8.r
@Lucas Prieels those count as bug reports -- if you claim the bug report task, I'll approve it
I’ve already found the annot bug
@Lucas Prieels those count as bug reports -- if you claim the bug report task, I'll approve it
It would be great if we could submit several bugs ;)
added: Find and report any bug #2
added: Find and report any bug #2
Thanks!
there's also a #3
@Lucas Prieels I'm not understanding your second commend about eto2.s not supposed to be part of rcc1.s ...
oh, I see -- the indentation isn't right in the pdf
both cases... the color coding is right, it's just displaying the indentation wrong
in oed docuementation it says : "oed / object1.c/sphere.s"
but the usage has been change...now instead of slashes on "space" should be there...is it a bug?
If I'm not wrong, I think there's supposed to be two arguments after oed
Namely, a left path and a right path, with left_path being a combination or region that contains right_path, and right_path pointing to a primitive.
Reference: https://brlcad.org/wiki/MGED_CMD_oed
So I think in your command oed / object1.c/sphere.s
, the /
here is left_path, while object1.c/sphere.s
is the right_path
okk... i thought that object1.c is the left path and sphere.s is the right path
there's also a #3
Cool! I'll search for another one then :) I'll submit the second bug as soon as my current submission is approved. I've also finished the 404 modelling task
okk i got it....there should be space between fisrt slash and object.c... I was wrong... sorry
@Lucas Prieels even better than documentation bugs are bugs that you also fix ;)
@Mitesh yeah, @Jeff Sieu is right -- oed's usage is a little quirky in that it requires a left and a right and in that particular example "/" is the left followed by a space followed by "object1.c/sphere.s"
i.e., the doc is right
if anyone finds a documentation bug, you'll want to check the official sources in doc/docbook
for example, that oed guide is in doc/docbook/articles/en/oed.xml and the mged tutorials are in doc/docbook/lessons/en
I think I found another error in page 107, it says
for {set i 1} {i <= 1000} {incr i} {<ENTER>
r sph$i.r u sph$i.s <ENTER>
}
but BRL-CAD give me an error
And when I run
for {set i 1} {$i <= 1000} {incr i} {<ENTER>
r sph$i.r u sph$i.s <ENTER>
}
(with the dollar), it works
This is totally unrelated, but you can enclose your code in ` to make it more legible.
For example \`this\` gives this
and
\`\`\`
some function() {
}
\`\`\`
gives
some function() { }
... can't really get it to display properly but each "\`" stands for a `
Too late to modify it now, but thanks!
