14:59.19pooliobrlcad: I think the problem has to be in my fitness function, it looks like it's marking the same objects as having the same fitness when they shouldn't
15:03.58pooliobrlcad: hmm, the fitness might actually be right, is there a way to set the bounding box for "rt" ?
15:05.43pooliohmm, that was it. fitness was right, visualizations are wrong

17:11.25pooliobrlcad: is there a way to just kind of take a snapshot of the wireframes? and from a certain view? waiting for raytracing is taking a while and I don't need the pretty rt'd models
17:39.56poolioargh. I'm pretty stuck, now it's not even convering at all...

18:29.59pooliowhere's it saved?
18:30.10pooliooh dur
18:31.07poolioI just get a blakn window?
18:32.16yukonbob?do you have your model loaded -- when I have an object displayed, and "ps myview.ps", I get a postscript file I view w/ gv (ghostview)
18:33.25pooliohmm, lemme try gv
18:33.48poolioah hmm
18:33.52poolioguess it was evince
18:34.46yukonbobpoolio: so is that giving you what you were looking for?
18:35.04IriX64http://rafb.net/p/Xy5csa63.html <--- did an update yesterday, this started happening (non-coerced build)
18:35.20poolioyukonbob: and is there a way to automate this outsie of brl-cad? Do something like this:http://poolio.org/~poolio/mon_3spheres_good.jpg but do it with postrscript?
18:35.30poolioyukonbob: well, it is giving me what I'm looking for I just don't think it has the options I need
18:35.56yukonbobpoolio: ~poolio/mon_3spheres_good.jpg was not found on this server.
18:36.17poolioerr crap
18:36.23pooliosale DNS records still?
18:36.27pooliois poolio.org up?
18:36.49yukonboblooks like it...
18:36.51pooliooops
18:36.52poolioyukonbob: http://poolio.org/~poolio/mon_3sph_good.jpg
18:37.10poolios/sale/stale
18:37.58IriX64why does it collapse to two bars along the left side poolio
18:38.05pooliohuh?
18:38.14poolioclick it and make it bigger
18:38.21poolioit's just an image
18:38.30IriX64||  <--- like that its fine while loading but completes to that
18:39.02poolio...It's because your browser scales it down to fit in the window. if you use firefox click on it and it should restore to it's normal size
18:39.24poolioif you use IE hover over it and there's a button in the lower right that looks like a sunset image tha tyou can click to make it bigger, I think...been a while
18:39.55IriX64that works thanks
18:40.32IriX64conways game of life man ;)
18:40.33yukonbobpoolio: well, you could script the running of the relevant commands then collect the output, convert to eps, and load into nice pdf, for example...
18:41.05poolioI'm just thinking I might have to do that if I can't specify the bounding box for 'rt'
18:41.20poolioyukonbob: so there's a way to montage post script files?
18:41.47poolioalthough the ps file would be a lot smaller
18:42.14yukonbobpoolio: personally, I'd be including them into a docbook or LaTeX document and formatting them in there... ie: scaling and installing in tables, for example.
18:42.32poolioyeah I know nothing about any of that :\
18:42.57yukonbobmight be able to use imagemagick/graphicsmagick to montage ps as well... haven
18:43.04yukonbob*haven't tried.
18:43.21pooliohmm
18:43.26poolioyeah I'm using imagemagick currently
18:43.49poolioyukonbob: I guess I might as well try it :)

18:45.25yukonbobpoolio: I just did, and it seems to work nicely....
18:45.41pooliooh sweet, I'll try that out, just need to figure out how to call ps externally
18:50.29yukonbobpoolio: mged -f mydb.g 'e mymodel; ae 20 20 10; ps myoutput.ps'
18:51.00pooliowouldn't that be slower than using a backend though?

19:07.44poolioyukonbob: I think PS is just as slow as raytracing the objects...
19:08.01poolioslower actually

19:09.55yukonbobpoolio: what's the process you use to generate the iterations of sphere?
19:09.58yukonbob*spheres
19:12.02pooliohmm?
19:12.07pooliogenetic algorithms?
19:12.25poolioI don't want the entire PS view, I just need the wireframe
19:15.00poolioyukonbob: alright, I think I'll stick to my current methods, thanks though
19:42.53CIA-29BRL-CAD: 03poolio * 10brlcad/src/gtools/beset/ (beset.c fitness.c beset.h fitness.h): minor tweaks. still struggling on two spheres. i have my doubts as to whether the whole project will work...
