I suppose that's as good a reason as any. Actually It's kinda neat to
finally find a compelling reason for the single pass, render as you
go, ldlite parser. Pipes are just too cool!
On the other hand, the user won't be able to spin the model with this
approach because ldglite only enters spin mode when the model is done
parsing. Rats! I suppose you could do a 0 CLEAR and use a ROTATE
metacommand to get around this if you can figure out how to magically
calculate a rotation that will make the polygon visible.
The alternative is to use the polling feature. Then you can spin the
model after each write from your program. Oh well, I guess the stdin
feature is still worthless.
Anyhow, try this one:
http://ldglite.sourceforge.net/ldgliteexe_test.zip
You'll have to copy or rename the executable to ldglite.exe for the
stdin stuff to work (or use -ld on the command line).
Enjoy,
Don
