13:03.24csanyipalHi,
13:03.49csanyipalI try to insert ebm in to the model with MGED.
13:04.28csanyipalI have an image saved from the GIMP as .xbm file
13:05.38csanyipalI saved it as X10 bit format.
13:06.16csanyipalI can to open this file with an editor and can to see there in the file numbers.
13:07.23csanyipalThe numbers are eg.: 0xffff, 0x03ff, 0x7fff, etc.
13:10.11*** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=omg@unaffiliated/elite01)
13:11.32csanyipalWhen I type the following command at mged> prompt: in szoveg1.s ebm brl-cad.xbm 100 20 40
13:12.03csanyipalI get only an arb8 shape and not a text: BRL-CAD.
13:12.22csanyipalCan anybody help me with this?
13:29.20csanyipalWhen I add in the abowe mentioned command the real bitmap width and hight than I get an error message:
13:29.32csanyipalrt_ebm_import() file 'brl-cad.xbm' is too short 101097 < 192708

13:54.21brlcadcsanyipal: set your country?
13:55.05brlcadif anyone really cares, a quick search on your IP indicates somewhere around/in Serbia .. you mean on irc or in mged? :)
13:56.09brlcadcsanyipal: that's the same as I said before -- that's not the right file format, it's not an xbm (but that was a much better guess than a bmp)
13:56.57brlcaddid you try using the sample png I gave you?  try the png-bw on it? and try creating an ebm with that
14:12.15*** join/#brlcad geocalc (n=geocalc@lns-bzn-31-82-252-223-155.adsl.proxad.net)
15:28.48csanyipalbrlcad: for the country question: it's been posted here by my mistake.
15:29.12csanyipalbrlcad: finally, I have success with ebm! :)
15:31.07csanyipalbrlcad: I'm using the sample png You give me. Tried png-bw on it. Then tried creating an ebm with that..
15:31.31csanyipalbrlcad: and finally I have success.
15:33.22csanyipalbrlcad: It seems to me that that I must to type the real width and the real hight of the png in the command for inserting ebm.
15:44.43csanyipalbrlcad: well, I made a png image wit a X character, and image has white background and black foreground.
15:45.22csanyipalbrlcad: with this png I get in MGED the X ebm, but also that X char is in an arb8.
15:46.28csanyipalbrlcad: So it seems to me that that I must to edit this png in GIMP so I get the black background and white foreground and try with that png..
15:48.55brlcadyes, the ebm has to match the image dimensions, not the 3D dimensions you want to end up with
15:49.14csanyipalbrlcad: And finally, I get the X character as I wish!!
15:49.19brlcadgreat :)
15:50.02brlcadand yeah, values are zero->nothing, nonzero->geometry
