00:01.43starseekerfunny errors when building and installing, tk framebuffer does the same thing and now the libdm tk stuff wipes out
00:03.21starseekerso much for using the macosx dir with 8.5... plus it looks like it was something about the tcl/tk stubs that was causing the X* issues, not unix vs macosx
00:03.31starseekerso that whole trick might be unnecessary
00:03.38starseekerwhat a week
00:20.30CIA-38BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r37270 10/brlcad/branches/dmtogl/src/other/tk/unix/Makefile.in: Install script is always in the unix directory, so make sure the install rules know that.

03:27.18pooliobrlcad: I'm taking a graphics class this semester :D
03:27.35brlcadfantastic!
03:28.03brlcadshould be great, one of my favorite classes :)
03:28.44brlcadonly wish I knew what I know now about the things in BRL-CAD I could have used as a foundation for various projects we worked on
03:29.34brlcadfeel free to work on things you're learning in the repo if you care to make a working graphics tool that we don't already have ;)
03:33.42pooliowill do. Although I'm pretty sure BRL-CAD will have it all

03:41.57brlcadpoolio: nah, there is plenty we don't have, even from an intro course -- image processing filters, software rendering, various shaders, ..
03:42.11brlcadarticulation tools
03:42.24brlcaddepends what they cover, of course
03:52.18``Erikthe graphics course I went to was very heavy in opengl O.o but that was quite a while ago :)
03:52.32``Erikgraphics course at the school I went to, rather
03:52.46``ErikI didn't actually take it, but I looked over my friends notes and assignments
03:53.30brlcadthe second half of graphics, particularly the final project, is where I could have put it to good use
03:57.33brlcadwould probably want to demonstrate how it could be put to academic use for a given set of tasks, leaving many unimplemented -- like writing a new image filter tool, or a new shader, or a new primitive, or a new procdb, etc, showing how it can be applied to an academic setting
03:58.58``Erik*shrug* idle thought
04:02.40starseekerbrlcad: remind me to either disable the tk framebuffer for release or make it the non-preferred one by default - don't want to upset folk in the next release
04:03.05brlcadokay
04:03.22brlcadit's already not the default for mged, iirc
04:03.31starseekermight just turn it off in trunk and fight it out in dmtogl
04:03.32brlcadjust have to make sure it's not the default for libfb
04:03.36starseekerright
04:04.59starseekerdunno how much chance of success I have, but ever since that tkpng thing I've wanted to figure out how to do that right
04:05.13CIA-38BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r37273 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libfb/fb_generic.c: make sure the tk interface isn't the default
04:05.24starseekeroh, cool - thanks :-)
04:05.26brlcadtkhtml should be easy -- just make them an automake project and we're good
04:05.33poolio``Erik: yeah...this course looks like it's entirely opengl foo
04:05.50brlcader, non-libtool
04:05.53starseekerbrlcad: right, but need to make sure the TEA path magic and whatnot is preserved
04:06.09starseekeruh, non-libtool?
04:06.27poolioif anyone cares, see: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/academic/class/15462-s09/www/
04:06.28brlcadthe main problem was that they don't provide libtool archive libraries
04:06.37brlcadif they did, we would have been golden
04:06.45poolio``Erik: How bout industry acceptance? :P
04:06.59starseekerwhat about something like tkpng that needs to get config.cache values for things like libz from upstream?
04:08.07starseekerneed a general solution
04:11.25starseekerpoolio: perfect - to learn opengl, write a new libdm display manager based on togl ;-)
04:12.38starseeker<crickets chriping>
04:13.01brlcadif tkpng were a libtool project, it'd just get passed the libz.la as an ldflag
04:13.10brlcadthe issue all stems from not using libtool
04:13.23starseekerah, so we can integrate libtool at the configure.in level?
04:13.36brlcadvia chainsaw
04:15.17starseekerah, well - if it works it works, chainsawed in or not...
04:15.47Ralithstarseeker: togl?
04:16.01starseekerRalith: tcl/tk bindings to opengl
04:16.07starseekerhas a C and a Tcl api
04:16.15Ralitho
04:16.21starseekerkinda the "standard" widget anyone uses when doing opengl in tcl/tk
04:17.12Ralithread it as "to gl" and thought someone had gotten a nice tesselator working or something
04:17.17starseekerhehe
04:17.28starseekernot yet, although keep an eye on ``Erik
04:17.51starseekertogl is for once we have that tesselator (and faster wireframe rotating...)
04:18.17pooliostarseeker: heh, probably won't have the time. I'm probably just going to audit the course...really busy with research
04:18.30starseekerpoolio: cool
04:18.48pooliobut maybe in the future I'll have time :)
04:24.41``Erikheh
04:25.12``Erik(industry acceptance vs uni usage is an interesting subject... very much positive feedback loops)
04:27.24``Erikralith: src/librt/primtives/nmg/nmg_tri_mc.c is the beginnings of a marching cubes tesselator
04:31.49Ralithcool
04:32.14Ralithisn't marching cubes really bad on nonorganic shapes, though?
04:32.31``Erikprobably
04:32.46Ralithseems like it'd really bungle any hard edges
04:32.51``Erikyes
04:33.03Ralithand probably make non-aligned flat surfaces weird
04:33.11``Erikbut it's what I've been funded to work on, so *shrug* it's happening, and that's what starseeker was referring to :)
04:33.17Ralith'kay
04:33.34RalithI guess it doesn't have to be pretty to be a valuable modeling aid
04:33.40``Erikno, flat surfaces should be ok... provided the nmg decimate routine does a decent job
04:33.48``Erikbut edges will be sloppy
04:34.09``Erikstart seeing a sawtooth pattern, I'd imagine
04:34.18Ralith...oh, right, the algo interpolates
04:35.46``Erikpossibly sometime next week, the metaball primitive will be tesselating using the algo, shooting for the task to be 'done' in april

14:40.48brlcadthat seems to do the trick
14:40.54brlcadclean distcheck, ready to go
14:44.12CIA-38BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r37275 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: push some items down, not clear they'll actually get addressed in the next release. obj-g stalled, shelling ignored until marching cubes is done, dbfind isn't pressing.
14:46.57CIA-38BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r37276 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: and it was even documented.. by me. sunofabitch. shaders.sh is now fixed, albeit by undoing the view initialization that broke it. will have to see what else falls out.
15:57.04``Erikthe shelling fix was kinda shuffled cuz I think it'll fall out of the stuff I'm doing over the next two weeks... O.o :)
15:57.28``Erikand I have a feeling that I'm going to get annoyed answering questions about obj-g and just do it once I have that milestone met
