| 14:52.00 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: Changed the way dm-ogl and dm-wgl were handling zclipping (i.e. setting a value |
| 14:52.00 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: in the GL_MODELVIEW matrix). This adversely affected lighting if the window |
| 14:52.00 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: bounds were relatively big and was noticeable when viewing geometry in shaded |
| 14:52.00 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: mode. Added GUI components in Archer to control the front and back zclipping |

| 18:20.52 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: converted and regions attempted. Also added a count of the number of failed due |

| 19:41.56 | abhi2011 | is there a macro for testing if a floating point value is exactly 0 |
| 19:42.00 | abhi2011 | not just near 0 |
| 19:42.14 | abhi2011 | or is fabs(f) == 0 the only option |
| 20:05.01 | brlcad | abhi2011: there is no way you can portably guarantee that a floating point value is exactly 0 |
| 20:05.34 | brlcad | relying on that usually implies a flaw in the math/logic that doesn't account for the actual nature of floating point math |
| 20:06.58 | brlcad | fabs(f) == 0 isn't necessarily reliable either (and doesn't address the issue of wanting to rely on zeroness) |
| 20:08.19 | abhi2011 | well I want to check if the passed mass is 0 |
| 20:08.22 | abhi2011 | by the user |
| 20:08.54 | brlcad | so check with ZERO(), what's the issue? |
| 20:09.16 | abhi2011 | ok, there is a line about it not being recommended in the comments |
| 20:10.15 | brlcad | well it's not recommended, but it's certainly better than trying to fake it with things like fabs(f) == 0 :) |
| 20:10.32 | abhi2011 | yup, stuck that into the code now |
| 20:10.51 | brlcad | the issue is that you haven't defined how close to zero you have to be |
| 20:11.07 | abhi2011 | yeah, the epsilon |
| 20:11.14 | brlcad | that's why it recommends against it (instead favoring NEAR_ZERO() with the tolerance defined) |
| 20:11.32 | brlcad | is 0.0000000000000000001 "close enough"? |
| 20:11.54 | brlcad | how about 6 zeros, 3 zeros, 1 zero? .. |
| 20:12.05 | abhi2011 | ok, hehe yeah, bullet wroks with sngle point precision so it should be :P |
| 20:12.50 | brlcad | ZERO() still uses a tolerance |
| 20:13.12 | abhi2011 | yes it used near_zero(), well i think the less than and greater than comparisons should be fine |
| 20:13.27 | abhi2011 | for the == stuff ZERO() is good enuf |
| 20:13.30 | brlcad | it just uses a hard-coded platform-varying tolerance that should roughly equate to "roughly as precise as this hardware is capable of being" .. |
| 20:13.38 | abhi2011 | ah nice |
| 20:13.43 | brlcad | which is often not what the math actually affords, that makes it dangerous |
| 20:14.52 | brlcad | the hardware may be capable of 1e-40, but if you take a square root of something a few times, or use single precision, or pass through print specifiers, or divide, or ... you might end up with a "zero" 1e-7 |
| 20:15.02 | brlcad | and ZERO() will be false |
| 20:17.43 | brlcad | if bullet uses single precision (really? wtf..) |
| 20:17.55 | brlcad | then you should probably define your tolerance |
| 20:18.15 | brlcad | single precision is much looser than most hardware is cabable of ... |
| 20:19.01 | brlcad | I'd suggest something like 0.001 |
| 20:19.23 | brlcad | that's roughly sqrt(FLT_EPSILON) |
| 20:20.15 | brlcad | 0.0005 if you want to be consistent with the rest of BRL-CAD |
| 20:21.17 | abhi2011 | ok |
| 20:21.25 | abhi2011 | yes, bullet can be set to double precision |
| 20:22.00 | brlcad | that'd probably be better as a default |
| 20:22.15 | brlcad | maybe have a -f fast flag that will use single precision instead |
| 20:23.20 | abhi2011 | right ok, btw if 0.0005 is default , there should be a constant that defines it |
| 20:24.25 | abhi2011 | will have a look at vmath.h |
| 20:25.08 | abhi2011 | hmm ok FLT_EPSILON & DBL_EPSILON |

| 20:48.23 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: modified simulation code to persist velocities between each simulation step Now |
| 20:48.23 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: bullet does a single step of simulation and saves the state of rigid bodies as |
| 20:48.23 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: well as updates the transforms in the dbthis will allow rt to shoot rays in the |
| 20:48.23 | CIA-63 | BRL-CAD: updated model |
| 21:02.08 | brlcad | abhi2011: it's not a constant globally defined for that tolerance, each application defines the tolerance |
| 21:02.43 | brlcad | in your case, you're running as a libged command, so you can just use whatever tolerance is presently set |
