Hi all: Suppose there were a part such as a 3x9 brick with "Dave is Supercool" printed on the side, and let's call it part 65432. If that part did not exist in non-printed form, how would this be entered into the LDraw inventory? That is, would the (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I made a small change to the user interface for the Parts Tracker. Previously, the "Lookup" box (at the right end of the navbar) would only accept filenames for searching. If you didn't enter the name of a file currently in the unofficial library, (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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 (...)
