peeps[work]: Nice find. But now I'm wondering if that's properly considered a bug in how it processes, or a bug in how it reports it. Does loading from a cache really need to reproduce the same internal representation? Or should it instead be our duty to make all internal representations behave the same under subsequent operations?
<InPhase>
I guess one related question is would there ever be a performance difference with the type being the manifold type or not, under subsequent operations?

so a silly thought occured to me, can I just plug in the $vXX vars into the command line to get the same view as in the editor?

besides there are camera arguments .. --D $vpt=[20,20,0] should work - not sure if $vpt need to be defined first in the file
<invultri>
why do I get a random popup from openscad that just copies whatever window is on top of it?
<teepee>
invultri: probably because there's some issue with the font cache
<invultri>
does not sound critical
<invultri>
could be this dimension lib I use from 2012
<teepee>
just a guess, but nothing else comes to mind
<invultri>
2013*
<teepee>
that is system-font-cache - fontconfig
<invultri>
I understand, but I was not using any text to screen before

I guess there is no way to get the width of a piece of rendered text?
<teepee>
kintel: As far as I know, EGL should cover the X11 cases too, so I'd say we activate and see how it goes. We need the wide spread testing at some point.
<teepee>
invultri: in the dev snapshots you can ask for the text properties, getting the actual geometry: no - unless you dive into very experimental pull request code
<invultri>
I just would like to know the width to center it
<invultri>
I am on the nightly btw
<buZz>
my last consideration was shoe-horning GL4ES into openscad's tree
<buZz>
so i can build it for GLES2 only arm machines easily
<buZz>
without needing to rebuild whole QT
<dTal>
or you could just buy a decent computer
<teepee>
invultri: enable text_metrics() in the preferences, then you can basically call it like text() but it's a function giving data
<buZz>
dTal: nahhhhhhh
<buZz>
already have plenty of those, they're no fun
<teepee>
it's a race between the changes to the GL stuff in OpenSCAD and the lifetime of those old systems ;-)
<invultri>
XD
<dTal>
yes nothing says "fun" like grinding away in the internals of boring and obsolete software
<dTal>
(I refer to GLES2 of course)
<invultri>
teepee: "like text()" means "with the same parameters as text()" ?
<bozo16>
what I want to know: 1. Does it render in your scad? 2. What do you think?
invultri has left #openscad [#openscad]
<teepee>
renders fine and looks good
<teepee>
some sort of screwdriver bit?
<bozo16>
yes, it is for my bicycle suspension
<bozo16>
then 3. anything about 3d printing that have high resistance?
<bozo16>
I mean, I probably won't print it in metal
<bozo16>
looking good is not a mere detail
<teepee>
no idea, the carbon fiber stuff maybe? but that's tough on the nozzle too
<bozo16>
in my case, a too stiff printing probably results in cracking (it happened)
<bozo16>
xd the guys asked me: wow, you are 3d printing a mechanical part that is really going to be used
<bozo16>
I would need a kind of a bit more "soft" material that deforms without cracking
<bozo16>
since I am not very good at specifying "mechanical tolerances"
<bozo16>
I think it was printed not with a nozzle thing, but with a UV Lcd screen.. the piece just rised out of liquid like the Terminator in the movie
<teepee>
I don't know much about SLA printers, but from what I've heard the private used resin is not that good for mechanical parts
<teepee>
but things may have changed
<bozo16>
got it. Thx!
<bozo16>
any opinion on how I coded it?
<bozo16>
(it was a long time ago, I don't even remember how I did it)
