Hello everyone in mosaic land, I've been lurking on these forums for many years and this is my first post! I have been a Lego fanatic for 30-odd years and as a very busy adult, the time I have been able to devote to Lego has declined quite a bit (...) (20 years ago, 28-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

| | Bricksaic and txt2dat?
|
|
(...) Hey. You know the bricksaic interface is also a really nice fit for a program to reproduce patterned bricks in ldraw. I gave it a whirl posterizing the only pattern I had a scan of and it did a fairly nice job. (URL) You could use a few paint (...)

(...) Happy to investigate autotrace input, if someone can point me to a spec, or even better some code to parse it ;) Some test data would be useful too... ROSCO (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) OK so a quick search reveals that (URL) autotrace> exports (URL) several different file formats>, none of which I know very much about. Does anyone else have any info? Note: txt2dat relies on the vector data being a series of closed contours. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I was actually thinking the best thing would be to paste your ldraw triangle generator code right into the output code of autotrace.

(...) This sounds similar to a past effort of mine called ldeco meant to help create decorated elements. It triangularized contours with colored seed points - see (URL) for a brief description (the page is very incomplete, I never got any further (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) Yeah, it sounds quite similar. Rosco's tx2dat program also uses the Shewchuk triangle library. Do ya think maybe it's about time to finish "publishing" your ldeco utility? I did a quick search and apparently you first promised to make it (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) Looks like that might be the best way to go. I haven't looked at autotrace yet, how does it handle colour? Even if bricksaic converts it to the ldconfig colour pallette, I imagine the colours output by autotrace will still need to be converted (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
