So I just want to make sure I have everything understood. To add new functions for a primitive I need to: - update the rt_functab definition in raytrace.h with new function pointers - update the entry for the primitive in table.c with the new functions is that all thats needed to make the new function accessible to the libs in mged and libged? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
