How to create a custom datatype?
by Adam Hartshorne 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

I would like to know how to properly create a custom datatype for use within the OpenFlipper framework. Currently, I am using a fudged together datatype, basically an inherited version of an existing data type (SplatCloud). However, it is becoming too limited for my needs and thus require the ability to properly define a new datatype. I have checked the online documentation and there is just a "To Do" place holder. Any help would be much appreciated, Adam

OpenFlipper 1.1
by Jan Möbius 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, OpenFlipper 1.1 has been released. With this release we introduced the new renderer and post processor interfaces. The renderer interface allows a plug-in to replace the default rendering code with a specialized version, while the post processors can apply additional filters to the output of a renderer. A new file plug-in for reading and writing vtk files has been added and the script editor has been improved (online syntax check, line numbers, ...). Furthermore we fixed a number of bugs. A detailed list of changes can be found in the change log at: http://openflipper.org/Documentation/OpenFlipper-1.1/changelog.html Downloads are available in the download section and a Mac version is in the app store. As our new auto build and test infrastructure is online, we will offer daily builds from the svn repository at this URL: http://openflipper.org/Daily-Builds/ Regards, Jan Möbius -- Dipl.Inform.

Installed Windows OpenFlipper 1.0.2 on 4GB RAM Windows XP system today. Unable to load any files, have tried OFF, OBJ and PLY all generated by MeshLab. Have also tried PLY files generated by MeshConv. Sometimes there is a message about binary read errors and an illegal index. Other times, OpenFlipper closes without any message. OpenFlipper looks useful. Please help.

Problems with indices after deleting vertices or faces using garbage collection
by Marcel Makowski 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hello, my problem is, that after deleting vertices or faces using garbage collection, the indices aren't consistent to the indices before the deleting process any more. For example: we have 3 vertices: 0,1,2 we delete vertex 0 using garbage collection and we have vertices labled: 0, 1 and the vertex labled with 0 belongs to the vertex labled with 2 before deleting. A consistent numbering for me would be: 1,2 Is there any way to have a consistent numbering after deleting using garbage collection ? best regards, Marcel -- Dipl.-Math.
