 | | 8094 mod: automatic plotter (memorizes in control center)
|
|
Hi, I've been building the 8094 models recently with my 8485 (and spares.) Then I realized that the 8094's original plotter model really sucks: you can't really memorize a pattern to let the machine write for you since the pen needs to be lifted and (...)

Everyone, Being fair in the judgement in using a global watchdog flag to terminate a task. Honestly, when I have a multi-threaded process, I have always used a watchdog type of flag, mutex, semaphore, etc. to signal a thread to terminate. I hardly (...)

(...) Ralph, Very nice, both of them. I was big into military aircraft in high school (so many years ago) and these brought back some good memories. One of these days, I'll get around to building some modern war-birds. What did you use for the glass (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) If you can work out regions of identical colour I believe there is a theory that says you can fill it with no more than 2N (where N is the number of corners) triangles. This is probably a good way of doing it for complex shapes. If I ever get (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Keep in mind that doing it both ways is probably a lot more difficult than just doing it one way. For example, if you have a 1-pixel thick plus sign, you need at least 3 quads (to avoid overlap), and your algorithm needs to deal nicely with (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Sorry, long quads is really what I meant by a line. So, that's exactly what the program does. I should have an update out later today or tomorrow that combines pixels vertically as well. Thanks, Scott (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Scott, It will be better if you put adjacent horizontal pixels into a long quad rather than a line. The renderer POV-Ray does not support the concept of lines, so they are tossed when L3P converts you LDraw file to a POV file. Kevin (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)
