can anyone help with cgal and c++ stl iterators?

Clifford Wolf
Hi everyone,

I need help with the CGAL C++ api and thought maybe someone here is
motivated to help out..  ;-)

I'm working on a 2D subsystem in OpenSCAD [1] based on the CGAL
Nef_polyhedron_2<T> class atm. Unfortunately this class does (unlike the
Nef_polyhedron_3<T> class) not have a transform method. So in order to
perform a translation I have to create a new Nef_polyhedron_2<T> object
with all vetrices from the old one but with the transformation applied
to all vetrices (see the "FIXME" in transform.cc in current svn head).

There is a constructor for Nef_polyhedron_2<T> that looks like what I need.
Unfortunately the documentation [2] is not very verbose on this one:

  template <class Forward_iterator>
  Nef_polyhedron_2<T> N (Forward_iterator it, Forward_iterator end, Polygons_tag);
    The iterator range [it, end) defines a set point ranges, each of
    which defines the boundary of simple polygon.

I thought I could call this constructor like that (CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2 is
a typedef to Nef_polyhedron_2<CGAL::Extended_cartesian<CGAL::Gmpq>>):

  std::vector< std::vector<CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2::Point> > pdata;
  N.p2 = CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2(pdata.begin, pdata.end, CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2::POLYGONS);

however - this does not work as I was hoping.

Maybe someone with a bit more c++ skills (I'm still more the plain-C guy)
could look into this issue? The whole 2d subsystem thing is stalled since a
few days because I'm so frustrated with this issue already..

yours,
 - clifford

PS: I've already sent a mail to the CGAL mailing list a few days before
about this issue but haven't got an answer so far..

The obvious problem is that begin and end are methods which should be  
called, but that is perhaps just a typo?

A stand-alone (or OpenSCAD patch), almost compilable, example would  
help getting into it.

CSG rendering broken in latest Mac OS X snapshot & svn repo (using OpenCSG-1.2.0)

clothbot
Hey Marius and Clifford,

Any luck getting the "Compile and Render (CSG)" stage in OpenSCAD  
working?  I just updated to latest svn (r197), spotted the switch to  
OpenCSG-1.2.0, applied the patches and all I get is an empty screen  
after time spent rendering.

I see the same behaviour with when I try your openscad-2009.12.31 (Mac  
OS X) snapshot.  I have my own openscad-2009.12.26 build that works.

Known problem across all platforms, just Mac, or just me?

Thanks!

Andrew.

I haven't experienced such problems with any of those versions on Mac,  
and neither using OpenCSG-1.2.0.
Empty screen problems are the least fun to debug, but let's see what  
we can do..

To make sure all is well, please grab the latest build (2009-12-31),  
open a Terminal and send med the output of this:
$ otool -L OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD

Then, start OpenSCAD on the cmd-line:
$ ./OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD

Now, what exactly doesn't work?
o Do you get the same behavior with all view methods (F9-F12) ?
o Does it make a difference whether you use "Compile" (F5) or "Compile  
and Render (CGAL)" (F6) ?
o Are there any meaningful output anywhere which could give me a hint?  
I know there isn't much debug output going on atm..


Also, the output of 'glewinfo' could be useful, just in case.

Hi Marius,

Try this again; hit a file-size limit on my attachments.

I've attached the output from otool in openscad-2009.12.31.otool for  
your snapshot version on my system.

Using both your version and my svn compiled version I am able to  
Compile (F5) and see & interact with the resulting model.

Compile and Render (CGAL) takes time to complete as I expect, but then  
the view area goes blank upon completion instead of displaying the  
final rendered model.  I've tried dumping an STL file just in case the  
problem is only with displaying the model but that throws "Current top  
level object is not a 3D object."

See attached release-macosx.clothbot.sh for the diff I have to do to  
resolve library dependencies when compiling my own.

If you think it could help I can send you the results of the shell  
script executed, piped to file.  It was 36KB and pushed my previous  
message size over the 40K (encoded) limit.

When you build yours, do you include MDI or not? I did this time and  
hadn't previous times.  I'll try backing out the MDI-related patches  
and see if it resolves things in my compiled version.

Andrew.

Hi again Andrew,

I'm still at loss - could you also provide me with the model in  
question?

Regarding MDI:
I've been building both with and without MDI and haven't discovered  
any problems with either of them.
I'm mainly using the MDI build though, and the snapshots should be MDI-
enabled from now on as well.

ok - I'm a big step further now: still not performing the transformation
but creating one Nef_polyhedron_2 from another one:

--snip--
   typedef std::list<CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2::Point> point_list_t;
   typedef point_list_t::iterator point_list_it;
   std::list< point_list_t > pdata_point_lists;
   std::list < std::pair < point_list_it, point_list_it > >pdata;

   typedef CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2::Explorer Explorer;
   typedef Explorer::Face_const_iterator fci_t;
   typedef Explorer::Halfedge_around_face_const_circulator heafcc_t;
   Explorer E = N.p2.explorer();

   for (fci_t fit = E.faces_begin(), fend = E.faces_end(); fit != fend; ++fit)
   {
      pdata_point_lists.push_back(point_list_t());
      heafcc_t fcirc(E.halfedge(fit)), fend(fcirc);
      CGAL_For_all(fcirc, fend) {
         if (E.is_standard(E.target(fcirc))) {
            Explorer::Point ep = E.point(E.target(fcirc));
            // FIXME: Actually do the transformation
            pdata_point_lists.back().push_back(ep);
         }
      }
      pdata.push_back(std::make_pair(pdata_point_lists.back().begin(), pdata_point_lists.back().end()));
   }

   N.p2 = CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2(pdata.begin(), pdata.end(), CGAL_Nef_polyhedron2::POLYGONS);
--snap--

Next miracle: how to apply an Aff_transformation_2 to an Explorer::Point
object..

I didn't quite get what you're trying to achieve, unless this is some  
kind of workaround for missing functionality in CGAL for 2D primitives.
Maybe it would be easier to go to 3D and just set all z coordinates to  
0.

Disclaimer: I didn't read through the code and I don't know about  
CGAL ;)

yes. unlike the 3d nef polyhedron classes the 2d nef polygon classes do not
have a transform method.

> Maybe it would be easier to go to 3D and just set all z coordinates to 0.

with all z coordinates set to 0 it would have no volume and thus
not be a valid 3d new polyhedron.

sure you could work around that by simply linearly extruding the 2d data by
a constant length. but the main reason why I don't want to go there is that
the algorithms for 3d csg are much more expensive than the algorithms for
2d csg and it so it would be a waste of resources to use the 3d algorithms
for 2d operations.

Btw: I'm using that approach (extruding to 3d) already for the OpenCSG
preview of 2d data.

Hi Marius,

Ah, it does seem to be model-specific; the standard examples work.  
Clifford, you may need to test this one as well.

1. Unzip the attached multinozzle_20091231.zip

2. Open "multinozzle_20091231.scad" in OpenSCAD

3. Select "Design - Compile"

4. Confirm that the "bracket()" part renders with no warning messages

5. Scroll down to the line "render_part=10;" and confirm that it is  
set to "10"

6. Select "Design - Compile and Render (CGAL)"

This is where the new problem manifests.  Rendering finishes but I  
don't see the usual "Number of vertices/Number of objects" report.  
The output jumps straight to "Total rendering time: ... Rendering  
finished." without any warnings.  The time taken to render is the same  
as with earlier (working) OpenSCAD versions (55 seconds on my system)  
it just seems to loose track of its objects.

Aside: For kicks, if you set "render_part=0;" you'll see roughly what  
I intend to send off to ShapeWays for a test print in stainless  
steel.  I have an earlier version going through the system right now  
to test the general nozzle design. :-)

Andrew.

I don't happen to have a working Windows compiler toolchain set up
(and while I love UNIXy OSes, switching to another environment is not
an option at the moment).  Will this be available as a precompiled

atm we don't have snapshots for win32 (and afaik stefan has no plans in
making any ;-). so this fix won't be available for win32 until the next
release.

however: the last release binaries do not contain 2d support so they also
do not have this bug..

Oh.  :-(

Unfortunately, what I have been trying to do _is_ 2D extrusion from
DXF files made by QCad or Visio.  I can get the examples to work
perfectly, but not a single bit of a single file that I've drawn
myself from scratch renders, even if I drop it into a working example
(by changing the filename and layer name).  I'm trying to make an oval
medallion about 5-6mm thick by about 30mm x 55mm, with some "features"
on the face.  I can't get so much as a triangle to extrude.

The only Macs I have on-hand are G4 Macs running 10.4 (which is a
problem vs Intel Macs due to Python issues), so that's not really
helpful to me either since none of my RepRap/Makerbot environment is
set up there.

I'm a long-time C/Unix developer, so I was overjoyed to see a tool
like OpenSCAD, but I seem to be having enough difficulty even getting
test shapes to render that it's not been very productive for me.

could you post such a problematic dxf file and the scad code you are trying
to use?

btw: there haven't been any changes to the dxf extrusion code since the
last release afair - so you would not benefit from a snapshot build.

The DXF import capability is very picky about overlapping lines,  
duplicate shapes, points, etc.

Are you able to extrude the "M6_Nut.dxf" file in that multinozzle zip

Confirmed in my local build environment as well.  Now to try pulling  
that MDI and OpenCSG-1.2.0 back into the mix.

I'll look into that. I supposed a small script that builds openscad automatically and uploads the binaries to a webserver won't be that hard.
