[Plib-devel] PLIB Examples Notes

[Fay J. F C. AAC/W. <joh...@eg...>]

Gentlemen,

	First let me apologize for being such a nit-picker.  I think of it
as attention to detail, but I can appreciate where it gets tiresome after a
while.

	Second, I have been looking at the "plib_examples-1.8.1.tar.gz"
tarball.  While I am apologetic, I am unfortunately unrepentant and have a
bunch of issues to resolve.

(1) The "plib_examples" workspace file is looking for a "pw_pui.dsp" file
which is not included in the tarball.  Probably the person who created the
demo didn't get the file uploaded but did get the changes to the
"plib_examples.dsw" file.  Failing that, I can probably produce the missing
file myself.

(2) The "pw_demo.dsp" (project) file does not include the paths and library
file definitions needed to build properly.

(3) I added a line to the PUI "complex" demo that prevent it from crashing
in "freeglut".  Specifically, after line 215, I inserted "if ( !rspeedSlider
) return ;".  Steve needs to decide whether to keep it or whether to get
after the "freeglut" community to enhance its GLUT compliance.

(4) I also removed some cruft from the PUI "complex" and "PointPicker"
demos, removing all references to the "hel" and "tim" font variables.  Most
of them are commented out anyway.

(5) My copy of "pw_demo.cxx" changes the window size between 100x100 and
640x480 when the user presses "<" or ">".  It also turns the key auto-repeat
on and off when the user presses "a" or "b".  Is the larger community
interested in these?
