I decided to see what my (URL) TC-510> model looked like in different colors. So today I made up a few variations. (URL) That's the only one where I dropped a pilot in there. I also looked at (URL), (URL), (URL), (URL), (URL), and (URL). Which do (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.michlug, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Ah! I didn't realize that submodel level 0 was the "root" level. I guess as my file doesn't really have submodels I didn't think to try these settings. Thanks! And BTY, the link to the installer on you main page says it is for 2202 but it (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) If you're interested, LDView has two C++ classes that together allow you to write a PNG via libpng. They have the advantage of being much easier to use that libpng itself. Take a look in the LDView source at TCImage.{h,cpp} and (...) (20 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I just upgraded to Borland C++ Builder 6, and there is a good PNG library for it. I'll use that and convert LPub over to use PNG (instead of BMP and JPG?). Alpha channel will be nice, allowing for semi-transparency. Kevin (20 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Careful! A *Windows* color value uses the high bit to indicate that the rest is an index into the 'System Color Palette' and not a RGB value at all (In Delphi you have ColorToRGB() to get the RGB value from such a 'color').
