Even more on View Hints

[Roger H. <rog...@mi...>]

Thanks for the clarification, but

Houston, we have a problem...


In the original QD3D.h kQ3ShapeTypeLight is defined as 'lght', so we  
naturally have the same in Quesa.h

In Apple's QuickDraw3D meta file specification ( a copy is still at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/QD3D/ 
qd3dmetafile.6b.htm#pgfId=10116)
and also in all the files produced by QD3D which have view hints, there  
is a 'Light Data' sub object, and its
type is also 'lght', so when I try to register it as a class it fails  
because there is already a class of that type registered.

So the whole process of reading the data in a container breaks down  
when I try to read any lights as they
all have this as a sub-object.

As we never actually create any objects of class 'Light', only ambient,  
directional, spot and point lights,
would it be OK to redefine kQ3ShapeTypeLight to be something like  
'lghT' with a capital T or 'Lght' ?
