one thing that would be nice in the LDLite view dialog would be
the ability to translate the model's position... in other words, have the

I can safely say that this would be relatively easy to do.  I won't speak
for Gyug, but I wouldn't be surprised if this feature wasn't in the next
version of LDLite.

hmmm.. and didn't someone (i think it was in Steve's future plan for LDAO) have
the idea to code a routine to automatically center the model in the
viewport...lars did this well in L3P when it creates the POV file... probably
would mean parsing the .DAT once to determine the model's bounding box, and
then parsing it again to actually draw the elements (translated to fit
said bounding box within the viewport)... but still, it would be a nice
option...

I've been thinking about this, and it seems like it would be more work than
would be practical.  However, LDLite *might* use the -V command-line option
with two numbers, to indicate the size of the bitmap; then use scrollbars to
allow for really large bitmaps for any size window, and possibly even center
the bitmap from the start.

Seeing as Jeremy has written more code for the upcoming 1.6 release than I have, he's a pretty good authority on the subject. I'll try hard to get his ldraw-options-dialog-box in the next release. As for the bitmaps, a two-pass auto-sizing feature (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)

lately i've been playing with LDLite a great deal.. since i was compiling my mega-list of views that i posted, i've been going in a changing the current view from within LDLite (as opposed to changing the view in LDAO, launching LDLite, closing (...) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
