| 10:37.47 | cvds | Hello. It has been a long time since I have used brl-cad. Since then I have forgotten the command to open additional view windows, does anyone know what its called ? |
| 10:50.09 | cvds | basically what I want to do is open a new multipane window from the command line |
| 11:05.06 | kesha_ | hi cvds |
| 11:05.18 | kesha_ | on top of command window, there is modes option |
| 11:05.28 | kesha_ | in that there is Multipane option |
| 11:05.33 | kesha_ | Hope that helps u ! :) |
| 11:06.33 | kesha_ | 'Modes' from menubar -> 'Multipane' |
| 11:08.31 | cvds | kesha_: Hi there. Yup I found it there and it did change to the multipane mode. However I was trying to figure out the command line way to do it. Basically I am running mged with the -c in yakuake (a drop down terminal) and want to have a multipane view next to the default view on my screen. |

| 14:21.11 | brlcad | cvds: attach |
| 14:21.59 | brlcad | that will create new view windows |
| 14:22.23 | brlcad | multipane view is a separate issue, running the "gui" command will create the GUI windows from a -c session |
| 14:54.09 | kanzure | is there any "assembly diagram" mode of some sort? |
| 15:10.54 | brlcad | kanzure: mm, not yet a feature |
| 15:14.58 | kanzure | thank you |
| 15:15.04 | kanzure | i saw on the mailing list something about pre-existing swig wrappers |
| 15:15.25 | kanzure | what was with the focus on perl? do the swig wrappers only work for swig's perl target? or ...? |
| 15:20.15 | brlcad | you'll have to ask on the list about that, don't know other than tom writes a lot of perl |
| 15:22.18 | ejno | is there an existing portable macro/function to start another process (non-blocking)? |
| 15:24.01 | brlcad | ejno: not yet, but we've considered the need in the past |
| 15:24.04 | brlcad | something you need? |
| 15:24.37 | brlcad | or something you'd like to work on? :) |
| 15:25.23 | ejno | brlcad: ok, thanks. I am trying to start another process to kill the bu_semaphore single-threaded test. I tried cmake ctest timeouts without success |
| 15:25.36 | ejno | brlcad: sure |
| 15:38.21 | brlcad | ejno: ah! for that, you might want to instead look at alarm(2) |
| 15:39.26 | brlcad | basically, you'll set up a signal handler (a function) in main that will respond to a SIGALRM signal, and call alarm(#sec) before doing your work that might block |
| 15:39.59 | brlcad | if the program terminates quickly or reaches a point where you unregister an alarm handler, then the alarm is never issued and the test passes |
| 15:40.12 | brlcad | if it doesn't the signal handler is triggered and you make it exit for test failure |
| 15:40.17 | ejno | brlcad: thanks, but I actually tried that first. However, it is POSIX and wasn't available on Cliff's system |
| 15:40.17 | brlcad | man 2 alarm |
| 15:40.39 | brlcad | o.O |
| 15:40.55 | ejno | well, it seemed to not be available at least |
| 15:40.56 | brlcad | you sure you had the right headers? |
| 15:41.23 | brlcad | unistd.h and signal.h |
| 15:41.43 | ejno | oh! I didn't have signal.h |
| 15:42.19 | brlcad | shouldn't need it for just alarm(), but you can't use alarm without signal() .. |
| 15:42.52 | ejno | thanks, I'll try that! |
| 15:44.05 | brlcad | default signal handler is going to be to ignore that signal, so you'll want to call signal(SIGALRM, your_handler_that_bu_exits) |
| 15:44.44 | brlcad | you'll also need to wrap some routines for portability |
| 15:45.09 | brlcad | unistd.h is not on windows, so you have to wrap it in #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H .. #endif |
| 15:45.17 | brlcad | along with the calls to signal() |
| 15:45.53 | brlcad | you can do the same with alarm(), but then you're going to have to do something else on windows |
| 15:46.20 | brlcad | either use their version of alarm (i.e., SetTimer()) or just make the test do nothing (pass) |
| 15:47.02 | brlcad | just don't use a platform #ifdef .. toggle on the HAVE_UNISTD_H header |
| 15:47.54 | brlcad | good example of both in action: http://www.zemris.fer.hr/predmeti/os/pripreme/upute/misc/Unix2Win.htm |
| 15:49.25 | ejno | ok, thank you |

| 17:28.50 | ``Erik | kanzure: the swig .i file wasn't tested with perl... I think ruby, python, tcl and common lisp were tested, but I don't really remember.. we'll see what feedback we get once he uses it some *shrug* :) |
| 17:29.39 | kanzure | i see |
| 17:29.49 | kanzure | it sounded like there was some perl-specific stuff in the svn repo, from what i read in the emails |
| 17:29.54 | kanzure | but also, i had just woken up and i'm probably wrong :) |
| 17:30.44 | kanzure | ``Erik: i'm curious if swig is responsible for all tcl bindings? or is there a separate integration between brlcad and tcl? |
| 17:31.04 | ``Erik | yeah, I skimmed that, maybe he wants to build some perl module fu ontop of the swig generated interface? you'd have to ask tom :) |
