[PPusers] R: PPE integration w/ an existing Plib-SSG based app

[Paolo L. <p.l...@ci...>]

While successful in compiling the version 0.0.1 tarball w/ MS Visual C++
express (just few adaptations were needed for some FLTK functions, and =
some
more include somewhere), I got the following undefined w/ the cvs =
sources:

ssgBranch::mergeHNodes(void)
ssgVtxTable::compare(class ssgVtxTable *,int)
int g_noLoDs

The first two seem SSG extensions for PPE which are only declared in =
ssg.h,
while the third appears in ppeScene.cxx, and *only* there, in the form:

extern int g_noLoDs;

How can I deal with these?

Thanks in advance, greetings -

Paolo Leoncini

Oggetto: PPE integration w/ an existing Plib-SSG based app

Dear friends,

In my Plib-based VR application I'd like to introduce basic editing
functionality, such as:

- material editing
- structure view and little rearrangement (grouping, node deletion, ...)
- node view transformation editing
- normal invertion
- double siding

In order to pursue the "rely on other's work" approach, especially when =
I'm
sure to not being able to do it better, I'd envisage the integration of
(parts of) the old good Pretty Poly Editor into my app, or to create a =
sort
of link between these two apps - both sharing an instance of a SSG, =
which
is, at present, created in my app.

Could I kindly ask your valuable opinion about the feasibility of such =
an
approach, and, possibly, indicate some key entry point in the code to
consider for integration.

Just one more question: why there's a different appearance b/w GUI =
panels in
the doc and what I get off the Windows binary? E.g. the structure panel =
in
the doc seems horizontally-scrollable, while the binary app doesn't =
allow
it.

Kind regards -

Paolo Leoncini
