| 15:24.30 | ``Erik | no, but if enough people mod up, the score goes up |
| 15:25.03 | clock_ | and then you can see the statistics how many people said troll how many relevant how many insightful etc.? |
| 15:25.28 | clock_ | interesting that projects like gEDA, BRL-CAD or Ronja usually have an easy discussion |

| 15:28.41 | clock_ | You mean realloc is slow when it has to move the block? |
| 15:29.50 | ``Erik | doug leas malloc does slight of hand to remap pages, so realloc across page boundries is pretty cheap... phkmalloc forces memory contiguous, so if you can't take the next page, it allocates in a completely new area, copies the old data, then frees the old area |
| 15:30.32 | ``Erik | the pathological case gives you a malloc/copy/free cycle every realloc |
| 15:31.24 | ``Erik | if you have a program that reads a file stupidly, like read a page, realloc, read the next page, ad nauseum... it shows :) (but if you were to, say, stat the file, allocate the size and read it... or mmap, it ain't an issue) |

| 15:39.04 | clock_ | actually I thought it should be possible to use BRL-CAD to produce some kind of industrial 3D rendered art |
| 15:39.25 | ``Erik | in what sense? |
| 15:39.34 | clock_ | I saw often posters for technical things including some kind of artistically processed blueprints, diagrams or wireframe models |
| 15:40.06 | clock_ | so one could either use rt-edge to produce such linedraw pictures, or straight rt to make colour pictures |
| 15:40.13 | clock_ | modeling of stylized technical elements should be easy |
| 15:40.17 | ``Erik | oh, sure, um, the plot routines generate rough wireframe, or you could tesselate and generate wireframe... and if you want to raytrace things, the shaders are fairly easy to write, check out src/liboptical |
| 15:40.46 | clock_ | can one write a script / little program to generate "landscapes" in ASCII? |
| 15:40.56 | clock_ | To make e.g. repeating changing patterns etc.? |
| 15:41.20 | ``Erik | um, there is a program to generate random dsp's |
| 15:41.28 | clock_ | what is a random dsp? |
| 15:41.31 | ``Erik | which are good for gnenerating terrain |
| 15:41.36 | ``Erik | dsp is kinda like a heightfield map |

| 15:42.09 | ``Erik | like if you generated a 2d plasma image and fed that to POV as a heightfield |
| 15:42.11 | clock_ | I mean for example a bunch of low cylinders with different colours, positions and diameters |
| 15:42.31 | ``Erik | oh, I'd imagine a tcl script could do that easily enough |
| 15:42.45 | ``Erik | or if you want to get fancy, a procdb |
| 15:42.51 | clock_ | can I specify the geometry in ASCII without trying to parrot the ASCII dump? |
| 15:43.23 | ``Erik | by 'ascii dump', do you mean the .asc form of a .g file? |
| 15:43.24 | joevalleyfield | write an mged script and pipe it to mged? |
| 15:43.39 | clock_ | that's an idea |
| 15:43.46 | clock_ | can I do just cat script | mged |
| 15:43.48 | clock_ | ? |
| 15:43.48 | ``Erik | mged -c is nifty :) |

| 15:45.48 | clock_ | wow |
| 15:46.19 | clock_ | hmm mged -c asks the user at start for something, is it gonna work? |
| 15:46.27 | clock_ | Or do I need to prepend an answer? |
| 15:46.37 | joevalleyfield | it should work |
| 15:46.47 | joevalleyfield | it should detect that the input isn't coming from a terminal |
| 15:47.13 | clock_ | oh yeah seems so and then it doesn't display the graphics |
