Hi Kevin, I'm really sorry if any of these have been brought up before but I have some problems with certain LPub features. a) When generating web pages, LPub references the images as <img src="C:\...\filename.png">. This is, to my knowledge, (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

I had added support for callout instance_count support, and when debugging it (for all possible placements around the callout image) things got very messy. I decided to retreat and try again. I rewrote my step packing code (used by both callout and (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) And this works. I use it often. (...) Why are step 8 and 11 unachievable in the current model of LPub using sub-models for callouts? Why do you want a different way to to what you can already do? (...) Can you please explain, in hypothetical (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

Kevin, Settings to the Page Number Font (font, size and color) are not written to and/or loaded from the config file. Jaco (19 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

| | Callout a single part
|
|
Would it be possible to create a callout for a single part instead of a submodel? This would be useful for decorated parts that are positioned in the model so that you cannot see the pattern. Or parts that are partially "hidden" or that you want to (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) John, I've wanted this feature too, especially a few years ago when I was doing a book for a specific set. It would also be handy for "alternate models" like wanted for his train book. I'll add this to LPub. You provide the reference set, and (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Anders thank you so much for your suggestion. It may not get me all the way but it is a big leap from where I am currently at. :-) Is LDRAW or MLCad open source? If it is I may look into trying to add the functionality to the program if it is (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I would suggest (at least initially) to keep it simple. Only support reduction by a factor of two, and then simply average each group of 4 pixels. This should produce a dramatic quality improvement, and be very easy to implement. --Travis (19 years ago, 10-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
