Hello Daniel.
Hello Sean.
So, right now I'm going to do the following things :
1. Add *struct db_i * *to the signature of *ft_volume() *and change it's
usage everywhere it's used. Change all the rt_<primitive>_volume()'s
signature by adding *struct db_i * *there as well.
2. Write the function *rt_generic_volume() *and find a way to get the
object name that needs to be shot so that the geometry tree below it can be
obtained using *rt_gettree()*. I don't know right now how to do this object
name part -- any ideas / pointers?
3. Improve the function *analyze_volume() *in libanalyze so that it uses a
tolerance and stops on convergence wrt the tolerance.
These are the immediate steps that I see.
Now, according to Sean's comments : comb's *rt_db_internal* is a graph of
names (strings) -- so how will I get the *database instance* there is the
question to be solved. I'm looking into that right now. Also, the
prep()/shot() routine's for comb are not present. How am I going to
implement it? They are used by rt_shootray() I guess?
As Daniel said : I add *Volume()* function in Object.h/Object.cpp in rt^3
that uses the normal *ft_volume() *entry for primitives that have the
entry. If NULL, I use the function in libanalyze through *analyze.h*.
Which one is to be followed?
*rt_generic_volume() *calling the libanalyze function for primitives having
a NULL *ft_volume() *entry
OR
Directly write a function *Volume() *in Object.h/Object.cpp that chooses
what to do.
I hope I'm getting things correctly. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
With Regards,
Kalpit Thakkar
