IRC log for #brlcad on 20121213

00:00.19javamonnbrlcad: how do I avoid this? Is that in a particular folder I should skip?
00:00.20brlcadyou need to add \( -not -regex '.*svn.*' -not -regex '.*other.*' \)
00:00.48brlcadyou do not want to traverse into any .svn dirs or the src/other dir
00:01.00javamonnohhhh
00:01.06javamonnthat would make sense, thanks
00:01.16brlcadthere's an .svn dir in every subdirectory with your version, you're modifying the pristine checked out version
00:01.37brlcadso when it diffs the edit version with checked out version, guess what -- they match because you modified both :)
00:02.32brlcadsvn can be configured to put them into binary blobs or even into a top-level dir ala git, but yours is older or just not configured that way
00:03.30``Erikbrlcad: maybe a gci task would be to crank beset on some geometries and make a gallery of neato images or something :D
00:04.02brlcadhah, i'd just added that to my list :)
00:04.59javamonnbrlcad: thanks alot, it makes complete sense now that you're explaining it, it's one of those things I'd never think of myself on my own though haha
00:06.02brlcadthat's what we're here for ;)
00:06.45starseekerbrlcad: do you think there's anything GCI scoped that might be done with http://www.tcl3d.org/html/docRtVis.html ?
00:07.46brlcadstarseeker: such as?
00:08.55starseekerif there's some rt option that would print out all rays fired, perhaps a tcl routine could capture that output and format it to be fed into rtVis?
00:09.35brlcador better yet, display them in mged
00:09.45brlcadhalf the things that tool does we already do
00:10.01starseekernods - sure
00:10.02brlcadcould use some documentation
00:10.38starseekerdoesn't know if there's any way to get at the full set of generated rays from the Tcl level...
00:12.27starseekeralways thought a "raytracing debugging" gui would be an awesome mode to have around in Archer...
00:14.01brlcadeven classic mged used to have the ability to show the rays fired
00:14.43brlcadthere are some really old cool videos that were even scripted up to animate them bouncing around the scene (within the mged graphics display)
00:15.38brlcadnow if only the gci students could tackle video encoding remotely!  sigh.
00:38.59starseekerwonders what the easiest way is to ask for OpenGL lines from a primitive...
00:41.00starseekerbrlcad: is there any "easy-ish" work in the libraries to remove calls to the Tcl C api?
00:41.23starseekerI know you've got libbu pretty well boiled down to the hard cases...
00:43.46starseekerand I know we hadn't decided on a proper solution to bu_getopt_long (or whatever) so converting functions to support >1 letter args isn't viable...

01:13.39Gmercer015So i just took up a project to create a unit test for complex.c. My understanding of this unit test would test all functions defined by complex.c on a set of numbers to make sure everything runs fine?

15:57.08starseekergrowls... at one time, I believe we did build with VS Express
15:58.46starseekerbrlcad: so that init function does need to stay put?  Or do we make those "tclcad functionality that depends on libbu?"
16:10.32brlcadit needs to stay put if we want to support the notion of libbu being independently loadable, it may even be required if tclcad does the work, but I haven't tested that

I have question about this task: https://google-melange.appspot.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8031203 I downloaded your's image of VM (from Get Started) and work on it but Sean wrote I'm scaning old source code and I should find help in Get Started (from I started...).

18:05.45brlcaddoesn't matter that you're in the vm
18:06.04brlcadbch: crazy buzy, fun :)
18:06.08brlcadGCI is abuzz
18:06.24bch"GCI"?
18:06.25brlcadMrowqa: so that's not the right revision, try "svn update" from there
18:06.42brlcadbch: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2012
18:07.20bchlike GSoC, but ongoing?
18:07.28brlcadnot really
18:08.11brlcadthey're 13-17 years old working on lots of short tasks, technically a competition
18:08.30bchsounds 'agile' ;)
18:08.33brlcadand unlike gsoc, the tasks can be pretty much anything, not just code
18:08.55bchcool. and brlcad is in?
18:09.08brlcadwe were one of only 10 orgs accepted (another gsoc diff)
18:09.30bchOh, I see the logo....
18:09.38brlcadif you click on our logo on that url, you'll see all of the open and already completed tasks
18:09.56bchwell done (1/10)!
18:10.11bchsees the best OS is also in there...
18:10.34brlcadwhich of the three are you referring to? :)
18:10.44bchNetBSD, of course.
18:11.12brlcadis very fond of Haiku
18:11.33bchisn't that an AmigaOS re-implementation?
18:11.41brlcadBeOS
18:11.46bchah right...
18:12.03bchI ran an officila BeOS x86 implemetation for a while
18:12.20bchthere help-desk was downright surly. No wonder they won't broke.
18:12.28bch*went broke.
18:13.13Mrowqabrlcad when update became complete what I must do to complete my task (doxygen cleanup)? Correct updated files again? :(
18:13.15bchnice to see the compiler challenges in there...
18:13.50brlcadMrowqa: so what do you mean again? :)
18:13.56brlcadwhat have you corrected?...
18:14.40Mrowqahttp://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8031203 look at uploaded patch - these files
18:14.57brlcadMrowqa: I'm familiar with the patches, that's why I"m asking you
18:15.02Notify03GCI: Arjun Govindjee: Implement a primitive centroid function ... for gridded volumes (VOL) - Thanks   Yeah after reading the code for a bit I understood. Having all the primitives in the raytracing library confused me a little bit, but now I understand how brlcad works as a whole. Its very different from other programs like blender, etc. http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7984221
18:15.10brlcadMrowqa: what have you *corrected* specifically? :)
18:15.18brlcadrunning doxygen isn't the task
18:15.22brlcadthat's just calling a command
18:15.30brlcadyou did set up the inputs to call libbu, that's good
18:15.42brlcadbut also not the central point of the task, cleanup is
18:15.56brlcadso in that last message, a handful of actual cleanup items was identified
18:16.04brlcaddo those and the task should be done
18:16.17brlcadif you spend more than an hour doing those, say something
18:16.28brlcadbecause everything listed there to me looks like 10 minutes work
18:17.30brlcadbch: that's not why they went broke... :)
18:17.52brlcadthere was a lawsuit that explained in detail how and why they went broke
18:18.08MrowqaI've been working more than 1 hour :P Must I only create doxyfile for new revision? (like this what I created?)
18:18.09brlcad(and they won big, but the company had already liquidated)
18:18.25brlcadMrowqa: doing those items listed?
18:19.05Mrowqawhich items?
18:19.15brlcadMrowqa: or are you saying that it took you more than an hour to learn how to run doxygen?
18:20.10Mrowqagenerally I worked more than 1 hour (correcting source code for doxygen input);
18:20.29brlcadMrowqa: you said you've been working more than an hour, but my criteria was whether you've been working more than an hour doing the cleanup items identified in the comment entitled "some cleanup needed"
18:22.01MrowqaI was correcting more files (some in include\ and all in src\libbn\)
18:22.05brlcadare you referring to doxygen_cleanup.patch?

18:23.25brlcadMrowqa: don't get me wrong, your work and efforts are appreciated -- we just have to make sure we're being fair too and that your time and effort is actually progress towards the goal, not just busywork or time you spend learning
18:23.30brlcadmake sense, right?
18:25.03brlcadthe changes in the patchfile look useful (there are several problems, but overall useful) .. but they look like you're adding comments, not *fixing* actual problems -- or am I mistaken?  were they causing some problem in the doxygen output?
18:25.08brlcadhelp me understand :)
18:25.12MrowqaI have some problems with translating your answer... (I'm polish); I want to only understand  what I exactly must do;
18:27.06brlcadMrowqa: okay, so I can simplify and explain or I can just itemize what's expected next
18:27.22brlcadI don't mind explaining more slowly and carefully, now that I know you speak polish
18:27.32brlcadi can be very patient :)
18:28.54brlcadwhat is expected: 1) run doxygen on latest sources (r54000+), 2) multipoly should be in libbn group, 3) axis group is empty, it shouldn't be
18:29.06brlcadthat's all that was identified because the first scan was so old
18:30.03brlcaddo those three correctly and we can mark the task complete
18:30.25brlcadsound reasonable?
18:30.39brlcadsound ok?
18:31.16Mrowqawhat exactly should be in axis group?
18:33.51brlcadMrowqa: if I knew that exactly, this GCI task would not exist
18:34.15brlcadi'd expect it to at least document the functions in src/libbn/axis.c
18:34.30brlcadwhich I think are declared in include/plot3.h
18:35.15brlcadBUT if they make sense in another group, like plot, then I'd expect the axis group to go away
18:35.31brlcadthat was the task, to figure that out and clean it up
18:36.51brlcadMrowqa: do you have any more questions?
18:37.43MrowqaI've already updated repo and I'm starting now with this task :)

18:48.41Silvrousbrlcad: I'm terribly sorry, but I've still been unable to finish the http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7979226 task due to unforseen circumstances out of my control (school). I'm working on it right now but it will take more than the 30 minutes left. Could I please get just another extension?
18:49.23brlcadSilvrous: once the timer runs out, you still have 24 hours to submit files
18:49.29Notify03GCI: Daniel Rossberg: Implement a primitive volume function ... for hyperboloids of one sheet (HYP) - The suggested solution sounds reasonable   I havn't checked every step but the approach with the integral shows how it should work.

18:51.31brlcadMrowqa: if you run "svn status" and there are files listed as C .. those are in conflict and must be fixed manually
18:51.35Mrowqabrlcad I knew that, but there are .mine and .r54056 files too... :/ (so I thought it doesn't update)
18:52.01brlcadMrowqa: so what is one of the files?
18:53.36Mrowqaas example src/libbn/list.c is marked as 'M' but there are .mine and .r56056 version too (doesn't added to repo, marked as '?')
18:54.15Notify03GCI: Andrei Tudorica: Compile BRL-CAD using Dev-C++ - ask   yes! I managed to compile it using cmake on ubuntu, but I didn't save it in a log and I don't know how I can do that :-?   so the task is almost ready.:d http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7945220
18:55.26brlcadMrowqa: so it sounds like you already edited the file (src/libbn/list.c) and fixed the conflict?  or have you done nothing?
18:55.52brlcadthe .mine and .r56056 files go away when you tell svn that you're done fixing the conflict
18:56.16brlcadsvn status src/libbn/list.c
18:56.17MrowqaI modified these files when I was working on task before the update
18:56.56brlcadright, but then you updated and got a conflict .. it'll be a "C" until you remove the conflict markers in the file
18:57.16brlcadif you copied your version of the file over, that would change it to M (and probably be wrong)
18:58.24Mrowqaduring the update svn detected conflicts and I chose 'p'; svn status is marking files now ? M C and A
18:58.26brlcadthat conflict also means the patch you made won't work
18:58.40brlcadA is added
18:59.23brlcadcan you show me the actual output?
18:59.29brlcadhttp://pastebin.ca/
18:59.30MrowqaI know (I worked with mercurcial wiht hedgewars :) but I don't add anything after update
19:00.15brlcadif the file lists with a "C", you have to edit the file and look for the <<<<<< ====== >>>>>> sections
19:00.32brlcadone side is yours, the other is the server, you have to merge

20:07.55brlcadjust it's a lot of work too :)
20:08.18brlcadandrei: there you can review artur's work ;)
20:08.33andreiI was doing that now :) t depends how you look at it, the reason I haven't been around( and I haven't done anything either) is that I sort of feel like giving up.
20:08.42andreinot giving up gci
20:08.53andreibut the whole effort of studying, coding, improving myself.
20:09.10brlcadthat sounds like a pickle
20:09.31andreiI'm not sure I understand you on this one
20:09.50brlcadsounds like a problem, a conundrum, something to sort out

20:13.56andreihis patch looks better but I would need to relog on linux to test it
20:14.50brlcadthe doxygen output is the most important
20:15.08brlcaddoes the html look right, is libbn neat and organized, did he fix the 3 things I mentioned
20:15.26brlcadif it does, then it's good to close
20:15.29andreithen I will log and check now
20:15.43brlcadyou don't need to log out to see the output

21:13.09Notify03GCI: Cezar: Enable walk_example for compilation - Task Claimed  I would like to work on this task. http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7966233
21:23.45Gmercer015how to i test the result of an add_test in cmake? could i use PROPERTIES PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION "answer" to test?
21:26.01Gmercer015wondering if i need to create my own test functions that divide/sqrt complex numbers in bn_complex that compare results
21:32.21starseekerhttp://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.44.5770
21:33.09starseeker(X-splines paper - curve version is what's used in xfig)
21:34.10brlcadGmercer015: that's a good question for starseeker but given how many functions are in that file, you can start with all the tests and test data internal to the test itself
21:34.20brlcadi.e., "one test" that tests all the functions in a variety of ways
21:34.42brlcadin which case, the only result is a good or bad return value from the tool
21:36.02starseekerhas always liked editing curves in xfig, but his curve editing skills may be obsolete... perhaps these days X-splines don't offer additional intuitiveness for most users
21:36.02Gmercer015my approach was adding a test that took 2 imaginary numbers plus the expected output from the two functions in complex.c
21:36.25Gmercer015and printing to the screen whether the test for each function passed or failed
21:36.55starseekerGmercer015: what do you mean "add the result"?  
21:37.24starseekerthere are a couple ways - one is to just encode the result in the test file itself, and base the final return value on a comparison between the stored result and the calculated result
21:37.57starseekerfor tests like vls, where we don't want to hard-code that in the C file, I've been passing strings as arguments
21:38.15Gmercer015that is what i am trying to replicate, i use command line arguments to pass the two imaginary numbers plus the expected results into the program
21:38.22Gmercer015since complex.c is only two functions
21:38.40starseekerok... that's fine.  Then the test program should return 0 if successful and 1 if not
21:38.43starseekerIIRC
21:38.51Gmercer015e.g. tester_bn_complex 4,5 2,3 (expected results for division and sqrt here)
21:39.01Gmercer015ok, so return -1 if anything is wrong?
21:39.11starseekerright
21:39.21starseekeror, basically anything that's not 0
21:39.45Gmercer015awesome, thanks! i actually understand a task
21:39.50starseekertests are pass/fail, specific error codes aren't captures
21:39.52Gmercer015pats himself on the back
21:40.07starseekercan look at any of the existing tests in libbu - they should all work this way
21:41.38Notify03GCI: Sean: Create BRL-CAD-to-Blender tutorial - echnically three questions   You'll post your tutorial here for starters and once it's looking good, you can migrate it to our wiki.  You can use one of our example databases (there are dozens included in an install), but know that some of them will not export to Blender. Look for the moss.g... http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7958232
21:41.56starseekersometimes, if what you're doing requires testing complex data (i.e. does a command generate a correct BoT geometry) you may need to have the test program internally create the "correct" answer to use for comparison, but at the libbu/libbn level that's unlikely to be necessary
21:42.13starseekerunless you're testing really BIG numbers, maybe
21:42.41brlcadGmercer015: yeah, don't return negative -- it's 0 if good and >0 if bad

21:43.41Gmercer015sounds good, the functions i am testing are at a moderate level that i can work out on some paper for the exact answer
21:44.35Gmercer015though the complex square root function seems to be a little confusing considering it takes two complex numbers, when square roots uses just one number
21:45.36brlcadGmercer015: that's the input and the output
21:46.41Gmercer015now it all makes sense (op output ip input), thanks
21:46.48brlcadnp
21:47.44brlcadwould have probably become apparent when you got to testing it and one ends up unmodified and the other gets wiped out and replaced with the square root of the unmodified
22:04.33Gmercer015how would i go about testing my unit test?
22:04.48Gmercer015would it require me building the source?
22:05.01Gmercer015me to build*
22:06.08andreinot entirely
22:06.16andreiyou can go to the respective library and run make
22:06.23andreior make "library name" in main folder
22:07.14Gmercer015do i even need to call the cmake command before hand? cmake ../brlcad-7.22.4
22:08.06andreiyeah, I think you need to
22:08.20andreibut that doesn't take nearly as much as the build
22:09.08Gmercer015that saves a lot of time, thanks

22:14.18Gmercer015strange error compiling, never had this before using cmake. I havnt modified those paths though
22:14.30Gmercer015or even touched the files inside, could it have been a bad install?
22:15.28andreihmm
22:15.36andreido you have X11 installed?
22:15.53Gmercer015that might be an issue
22:16.23andreiI'm not sure on specific details and you might want to ask someone else aswell, but as far as I know X deals with GUI in linux
22:16.43Gmercer015is that directX11 or something completely different
22:16.54andreino, it's not directX11
22:17.27andreiyou can read  a bit about it here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
22:17.49Gmercer015i see something on the software store about a lightweight x11 desktop environment
22:17.52Gmercer015that could be it
22:18.02andreiare you using a mac?
22:18.07Gmercer015ubuntu
22:18.18andreihmmm, then I might be able to help, hold on a sec
22:18.43andreiI think x11-utils is what you need to install
22:19.13andreiif you have trouble installing that package let me know, usually it should go with sudo apt-get install x11-utils
22:19.54Gmercer015says it is at the highest version, should i try using the UXterminal?
22:20.43Gmercer015description says it is an emulator for windows x
22:21.54andreinot really, it's quite strange
22:22.33Gmercer015let me try installing lxde, if not it could be just  a bad install and i can attempt to reinstall the source
22:22.51Gmercer015would it have anything to do with grabbing it using svn?
22:23.08andreiGmercer015: I tracked down a post with a similar issue to you ( identical in fact): http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4F8C3075.8090107%40uwaterloo.ca&forum_name=brlcad-devel
