 | | Simple LDraw viewer code for Processing.org —Andy Lynch
|
| | | Well, in the interests of sharing, as this community does so well, here's the basics of a simple LDraw viewer that I wrote in the Processing language about a year and a half ago. It is by no means complete, but it will display small models (if you (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | (...) The neat thing about Processing is that since it is based on Java it is possible to export Processing programs (excluding some functions) as cross-platform applets that can be embedded in web pages. So, what Andy has created is the basis for (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

I would be very interested in this kind of app as it will make things much more easy to display models to the webside visitor (see my "personal OMR" at (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | | | (...) That is the key question. I have not tried a larger model yet (it takes some preparation first to inline the model). I think I first may try to address the question of how to efficiently enable part library access for the embedded viewer. (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | (...) That looks very good. I have also made an attempt to build a viewer, but it is also very limited in what it can do (very little files if you do not wait an hour, no optional lines, but it could read subfiles). As I discovered that it is quite (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

I tried to write a viewer once too (as a series of experimentation of maybe having done a CAD program for parts authors!) using Tcl and OpenGL, but it turned out to be *REALLY* slow, most probably due to bad subfile handling. While the Animal (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)
