#33 Camera update fails

[Jerry Knight]

No operation on any camera object is successful.
This error is given:

Tcl: Error! invalid command name "..f3D.togl"

The graphical method of moving, etc. does not work,
nor does the transformation window. This seems to
only happen with cameras.

I'm running Redhat 7.1 and using the shared binary
distribution of ayam. It might be an issue specific
to my system (the camera object is rather important
and no doubt works normally), but I don't know how to
go about finding the exact problem.

Also, a minor issue: the About screen consistently
causes X to die.

Love the program though.

Hi Jerry,

yes indeed it seems to be impossible to "Apply" changes
to the camera property of a camera object. Well spotted!
Fix is in CVS.
About the camera not reacting to simple transformation
actions: this does not work because the camera object was
intended to just be safe place for view parameters that
might be destroyed too quickly and thus does not support
the standard transformations;
I will add warning messages to the transformation actions.
Note, that you can still edit the from and to parameters
of a camera with the single point editing actions (<e>).

About the crashing About-window: does it leave a core dump?
Can you possibly load that into gdb, type where and send me
the output?

best regards,
Randolf,

There does not appear to be any core dump from Ayam. The
X server just restarts (returns to the login screen).
It's probably a weird combination of X, gnome, tcl, or any
number of things.
