[geomview-users] Geomview on Cygwin

[Ken B. <kb...@co...>]

I have recently added geomview-1.9.5 to the Cygwin distribution.  I have 
also built (but not added to the distro) all the emodule packages 
mentioned in the README in the geomview source tarball:

* gvemod-cplxview
* gvemod-crayola
* gvemod-labeler
* gvemod-ndview
* gvemod-xforms-example
* gvemodules-xforms
* maniview

If anyone wants to try these, they can be obtained via Cygwin's setup 
program from my personal Cygwin repository:

   http://sanibeltranquility.com/cygwin/

There are instructions at that site.  Note: I have other packages there 
that you probably don't want to install, so be careful to just choose 
the emodule package(s) that you want (and let setup install any 
dependencies).

Most of the emodules seem to work OK, in the sense that something 
reasonable happens when I click on them in the emodule list.  (I'm not a 
geomview user, so I can't really test them properly.)  But there are a 
few glitches:

1. Clicking on "Crayola" yields the following error message in the 
terminal from which I started geomview:

Error in startup script: invalid command name "Ïúíþ`"
     while executing
"Ïúíþ`   H__PAGEZERO..."
     (file "/usr/libexec/geomview/tcl/Crayola" line 1)

This is due to the fact that /usr/libexec/geomview/tcl/Crayola is a 
binary file, not a Tcl script:

$ file /usr/libexec/geomview/tcl/Crayola
/usr/libexec/geomview/tcl/Crayola: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 executable, 
flags:<NOUNDEFS|DYLDLINK|TWOLEVEL|PIE>

2. The same thing happens with "Labeler".

3. Clicking on "NDdemo" yields

   sh: /usr/libexec/geomview/nddemo: No such file or directory

And indeed the gvemod-ndview sources do not contain a source file for 
nddemo or a Makefile rule for building it.

I assume all of these glitches are problems with the packaging of the 
emodules, but please let me know if there's something I can fix in my 
builds.

Re: [geomview-users] building dsTool was URGENT: Help: Geomview in RedHat8.0

[<llo...@ya...>]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } 
dsTool is definitely 32-bit only. I wonder how much code cleanup is needed for Tcl 8.6 and 64-bit.
The dsTool documentation is vague on how it communicates with Geomview. There are a couple of possibilities:
1. Like SaVi, it might run as a Geomview module and communicates in a pipe to do the sending. SaVi does that for realtime animation. geomview -run dstool-launch-script might do something. you cansudo apt-get install saviand play with geomview --run savi to see how that works.and the threeD(go) function in dstool_tk/tcl/threeD.tk seems to do exactly that, with supporting C in src/install/gv_install.cAlso look as the hidden .geomview file in savi's top level directory - how you list it as a geomview module. SaVi has more documentation on geomview interaction in its README, and dstool seems to use the same model.
2. it writes and saves an oogl file for geomview to load and render statically, which would be a cutdown version of 1.
I note that dsweb.siam.org/Software/dstool notes fixes to prevent crashes on saving/loading some files - perhaps not Geomview files though. so those code diffs might be useful?
hope this helps

 Dear Lloyd,
            I have successfully installed DsTool in Ubuntu 16.04(32 bit) 
 with 8.5 Tcl/Tk libraries. The screenshot is attached.
            Geomview 1.9.5 is also installed in Ubuntu 16.04 (32 bit) 
 however when I use the 'SEND TO GEOMVIEW' from DsTool it does not open 
 Geomview to show the plot. I have to still figure out why. Anyway, thank 
 you for the help.

Re: [geomview-users] building dsTool was URGENT: Help: Geomview in RedHat8.0

[Lloyd W. <llo...@ya...>]

I've stored some dstool material at
http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/DsTool/

which has a readable pdf of the manual - the Mac converter
built into it handled the postscript. 42 times bigger, but more than
42 times more readable.

I see there are a couple of unofficial variants of the
source code out there tweaked for redhat, and I took a look
at their differences -
diff -c5pr directory1 directory2
a lot of whitespace comment/noise in there, but some changes too.

fyi

I can't build Geomview under current 32-bit Cygwin because of the

./configure ino_t error that I posted to the list about.
This is possibly related to a similar problem from 2006:
http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/SaVi/running-under-Windows/cygwin-1.5.19-problem


Your reply suggests that you are in fact running dsTool.
How did you get it running?
 

Lloyd Wood
http://savi.sf.net


Dear Llyod [NO...]
            Thank you for the reply. Since you already have DsTool and 
Geomview installed I just wanted you to check if you are getting 
three-dimensional plots. The way to do is, go to Dstool -> click on 
Models -> click on Vector fields -> Click on 'Lorenz' system and load is 
done. Then you click on Panels -> three dimensional view -> a window 
pops up where you find SEND TO GEOMVIEW, click on that. If you are able 
to see plots in Geomview, please send a png because that is where I am 
stuck.

Thank you

Re: [geomview-users] building dsTool was URGENT: Help: Geomview in RedHat8.0

[Lloyd W. <llo...@ya...>]

Ananya

http://www.math.cornell.edu/~gucken/software.htmlsays
"Comments about the program or contributions to
either program can be sent to John Guckenheimer at jm...@co...."

Have you tried contacting John as dsTool's maintainer?

Now, this list is to support Geomview. (dsTool had some
Geometry Center involvement, so it's related). I helped you out
by indicating that I could build dsTool v3 on 32-bit
Cygwin, and how to do that (you need gcc, automake and Tcl/Tk
in the installer) and I then launch dsTool with
a script containing
export ARCH=linux 
export DSTOOL=$PWD 
exec ./bin/dstool_t
and that I could use dsTool, as the attached screenshot shows.

I don't know how dsTool interacts with Geomview, because I
can't print its postscript manual past page 46, or convert to
pdf, and the Geomview information is at the end of the manual.
Really, the manual needs to regenerate modern postscript from original
TeX, then generate a pdf from there, so that it's readable.

While I was able to build dsTool with Tcl/Tk 8.5 under *32*-bit
Cygwin, I have not been able to build it with Tcl/Tk 8.6
anywhere. I got lucky on my first attempt.
Not sure a program this old is 64-bit clean, would
recommend a 32-bit operating system. It's just segfaulted
when I built and ran it on 64-bit systems. So, deliberately
select Tcl/Tk 8.5.18 in 32-bit Cygwin, or install it
under a 32-bit Ubuntu.

Hope this helps.

Hi Lloyd Wood,

              It is very urgent. Did you get any result?

    I tried to install DSTOOL by the method you have listed. However, I 

guess I am going wrong somewhere. It will be great if you can list out 

the steps. Also, did you execute the tweaked commands at the terminal or 

modified the dstool_tk file? I think it will be great if you can list 

the steps out so that I can install it in Ubuntu.

    Also, I wanted to ask you if you can export data from DSTOOL to 

Geomview by doing the following steps:

1. Go to Models -> Vector Fields -> Lorenz System

2. Once this 3D system is loaded. I want to transfer the data to 

Geomview to see a three-dimensional plot. So Panels -> Three-dimensional 

View -> Send to Geomview.

    Please confirm if you are able to see the 3D plot. Screenshots will 

do. Please help! It is urgent.

Thank you

Ananya

Re: [geomview-users] geomview ino_t configure error on cygwin?

[Lloyd W. <llo...@ya...>]

Geomview under 64-bit Cygwin does not support piping from
external apps and has opengl problems, as described on

http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/SaVi/running-under-Windows/

(if you're still trying to build dsTool - it's an old program,
written before 64-bit machinery, 32-bit is a better bet)

[geomview-users] geomview ino_t configure error on cygwin?

[Lloyd W. <llo...@ya...>]

Well, this is a new one to me. On current 32-bit 2.8.0 cygwin with the geomview 1.9.5 source package:

$ cd geomview-1.9.5
$ ./configure

[..]
checking size of ino_t... configure: error: in `/home/lloyd/savi/geomview-1.9.5':

See `config.log' for more details 


$ tail config.log

any ideas?

Re: [geomview-users] Help: Geomview in RedHat8.0

[Lloyd W. <llo...@ya...>]

(damn email defaulting to html rendering...)

DsTool! that takes me back, as it was contributed to by Patrick
Worfolk at Cornell before he wrote the SaVi satellite package
I maintain. In user interface ways, it's SaVi's father.

Current DsTool is at:
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~gucken/software.html
and is the promised version 3 mentioned on the Geometry
Center pages such as at the bottom of
http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/dstool/
which should probably be updated to link to here. (v3 has the
same user-friendly Tk interface as SaVi, doesn't need the
obsolete xview.)


Out of curiosity, I downloaded and compiled DsTool v3 (Tk) on
a Cygwin system just now. Results are in the screenshot.
The Tk environment still works with Tcl/Tk 8.5. So compiling
on Linux Ubuntu with gcc, the tk-dev packages available etc,
following the spirit of the INSTALL instructions but
tweaked for the bash shell with something like

touch Makedefs.linux
export ARCH=linux
export DSTOOL=$PWD
make World


should be straightforward (if a bit slow)- I've just done it successfully,
as the attached screenshot shows.

So, do use the latest Geomview under Ubuntu, which you can install with
sudo apt-get install geomview
or from a package manager, then 
sudo apt-get install tk-dev
and compile the latest DsTool with gcc as indicated above.
And avoid using old rpms of old software. Use the source.

Hope this helps.

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } you installed version 1.8.1 from over ten years ago. current is 1.9.5, which can be installed under debian/ubuntu easily as a maintained package.

I don't know of uptodate rpms, and those old rpms should be removed from mention on the download page.

[geomview-users] Influence of Geomvew?

[<llo...@us...>]

I became interested in Geomview's influence over the
last twenty or so years.
The Cited By tab on the 1996 paper introducing Geomviewgives a list of other papers:https://doi.org/10.1145/220279.220327

and there are other mentions in arxiv papers:http://search.arxiv.org:8081/?query=geomview&byDate=1

but that's not the entirety; there's the odd biomechanicspaper...http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2003.08.005

and who knows what else. where else is worth looking?
having tracked where SaVi has turned up, I put togetherhttp://savi.sourceforge.net/papers/
to try and convince people that Some Sort of DifferenceHas Been Made.so there's probably also tracking influence of Geomviewin other related addons (qhull etc.) to get an ideaof influence, at least in the academic sphere.

Re: [geomview-users] Geomview : gif from multiple files

[<llo...@ya...>]

I've had good results with gifsicle in recent SaVi, producing coverage map animations such as the one on
http://savi.sourceforge.net/about/


using ppm2gif (part of the netpbm utilities) to generate a bunch of gif files that are stitched together

by gifsicle would appear to be one approach worth exploring.

In geomview,
(snapshot focus filename.ppm)
gets you a ppm file.

You could convert all OFF images to PPM format using Geomview's
"Save" --> "Save as PPM" command.  (There are three different commands.)
I'm not sure if this could be scripted from within Geomview.

Then, the PPM series could be converted to GIF using ImageMagick
or some other conversion software like gifsicle ( http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle ).

You could use the Antiprism off2pov peogram to convert each OFF file
to POV-Ray format and then render it with povray.

    http://www.antiprism.com/
    http://www.antiprism.com/programs/off2pov.html
    http://www.povray.org/

Here is an example script, that makes a rotating polyhedron animation,
that you could adapt to process your files.

    https://github.com/antiprism/antiprism/blob/master/share/extras/python/anim_spin.py

The resulting images can be made into an animated GIF with the
ImageMagick convert program.

    https://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php

With the example script I would run something like

    convert -delay 15 panim*.png animation.gif

Here is an example animation produced with these programs

    http://www.antiprism.com/misc/jit_cubo_oct4.gif

There are lots more exmples here

[geomview-users] Geomview : gif from multiple files

[Pierre E. <pie...@ho...>]

Dear Geomview users,

I've made a program which generates hundreds of OFF files. What I want to have is a gif, the k-th picture of which is a snapshot of the k-th file.

Is it possible ?


Sorry for my bad English, I'm French.

If I have understood, this issue is not occuring for me on Ubuntu 16.04.1
64-bit not run in a virtual machine.

I have attached a screenshot showing a couple of camera windows open.

Adrian.

P.S. In your launchpad bug report I couldn't see a link for your 
screenshot.

I've opened this as a bug on Ubuntu:

Would be interested in hearing if other distros have similar problems.

I've noticed that recently on stock Ubuntu 16 installed under virtualbox,

while sudo apt-get install geomview installs the geomview 1.9.5 package as you would

expect, the camera window/viewport lacks motif window chrome/widgets, and any cameras

are square and are unable to be moved. Because no window titlebar etc. The viewport

is stuck in place.


Any ideas?


(Also seeing 

OpenGL Warning: No pincher, please call crStateSetCurrentPointers() in your SPU

but texturemapping with SaVi works, that seems unrelated to a Motif(?) problem.)


suggestions appreciated.


thanks

[geomview-users] Antiprism 0.24 Released

[Adrian R. <ad...@an...>]

Hi All

Antiprism 0.24 polyhedron modelling software has been released

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/antiprism/KB1syvJLlgs

The programs all work natively with OFF.

There are some new conversion programs: off2dae will convert from OFF to 
Collada (DAE) format suitable for import into Sketchup and Blender, 
off2obj/obj2off will convert between OFF and Wavefront OBJ format.
