STEREO-SCOPIC EDITOR
This page contains:
STEREO-SCOPIC EDITOR (old LINUX version with sources)
Here are the source C++ and binary ELF files of the stereo-scopic editor.
It may be used to design three-dimensional graphs and meshes of triangles.
The perspective may be exported to
xfig
format and the three-dimensional
mesh of triangles may be exported to the
POVray
input format or as the
OFF and/or SKEL format for the
Geomview.
The program also enables simple animation.
You need color glasses to use the editor.
The left glass should be green or blue and the right glass should be red.
You may also change the colors and swap the colors with the
``swap'' button of the editor.
There are some problems with older versions of Lesstif library
(older than 0.77).
To use the program unpack the file in some directory on your disk and type
./edg -bg grey
If you have down-loaded the source files you need to type:
make
to compile the program.
If there are are any problems with compilation you have to adjust the
makefile.
The program may need to allocate more than 30 colors. If you have too many
other processes running it may be impossible.
You may also need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have an access to Motif
library.(For example on SUN you may need to type:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/dt/lib/
before starting the program.)
STEREOSCOPIC EDITOR - new binaries for LINUX
HERE IS THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE STEREO-SCOPIC EDITOR
THAT IS COMPILED FOR LINUX WITH
LESSTIF
0.82. IT IS LICENSED: FREE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE.
THE FILES
(tared and gziped binary programs only.
After down-loading the file to your 'bin' directory execute
the command:
tar zxvf file_name.tgz
Only one file - the binary program- will be extracted.
You need the Lesstif library to run the program):
The new version has following advantages over the previous one:
- There are new view modes that let you display the designed object
in colors. (The best one is the BSP shade view mode.)
The binary space partition trees are used.
- There are four independent cameras, that let you set four
views of the edited object, and switch from one view to another.
- The perspective exporting to xfig is sensitive to current view
mode. You may obtain color and shaded perspective in xfig
by exporting in BSP-shade mode.
- The coordinates of vertices of the mesh of triangles exported
to POVRAY
are NOT transformed to the observers coordinate system.
Instead the POVRAY camera is transformed to get the same view that
we had during exporting.
It enables you to merge the the mesh of triangles from the exported file
with other Povray input file without troubles with coordinates
of the vertices.
- All vertices contained in the subset #LIGHT# are exported as the light
sources to the POVRAY format.
- Only the currently visible subset is exported to all other
formats.
- You may shift the cursor in either X,Y or Z direction by given
distance just by typing the value of the distance followed by + or -
in the appropriate cursor coordinate window.
- You may find with the cursor the point that is intersection of
a plane and a line. (Use the INTERSECT button and a cursor to
indicate the two points of the line (E1 and E2) and three points
of the plane (T1,T2, and T3).
- You may scale the OBSERVER RECEIVER. This does not change the designed
object.
- You may insert transparent triangles to split the space so that
the BSP tree in BSP view modes becomes smaller. It requires some
knowledge about BSP trees. The transparent triangles are used
before any other triangles in the construction of BSP tree.
- The latest version works in both True-color and Pseudo-color modes.
STEREOSCOPIC EDITOR - DOS version
