Description: Xmgf is an Interactive tool for displaying image feature files
in gf format. Xmgf has a viewing window and controls over the orientation
and focal point of a viewing camera. Xmgf written in motif is completely
interactive and buttons exist for most command line options.
Xmgf was written to complement xgf and to add 3D viewing properties. Xmgf
also includes some of the xgf 2D viewing primitives but allows them to be
projected onto a plane in the third dimension such that the observer can
move around and observe the sets from a new perspective.
Xmgf has already been used by for 3D surface representation,Model
representation, 3D line detection data representation, view-sphere data
representation and depth data representation.
Xmgf Auto-scales images,can have the viewing parameters stored in a file
produce Xfig and Postscript and MIF output as well as RAYSHADE data files
and PGM, PBM and XBM SunRaster and GIF image outputs.
Xmgf has Interactive file selection menus to allow greater flexibility in
finding files.
Xmgf can read other CAD or object file formats via filters. current formats
include NFF/OBJ/OFF/RAY/SLA/DXF/MINICAD/IGRIP. These filters do not cover
all the features available but they are a start.
You should read the README and MAKEBUGS in the tar file to find out what is
needed to be set before building.
New Features:
Xmgf 2.3 html online help Configure script Message
Box bug fix Depth Cue Patch Work Translation step on mouse
movement now an argument (default 5)
Xmgf 2.3.1 Resize Code Cracked for Motif1.2.X Icon Panel
removal from command line Xmgf -n fixed Stereo and Ortho views
fixed for Motif1.2.X
Xmgf 2.3.2 (Sorry such a quick release but many build problems with new
Configure) Configure problems -O -O2 problems CDEBUGFLAS =
-O by default no more GUI.c Scale widget bug args[n] problem
Checked cc build forgot to do before release
Xmgf 2.3.2.Beta (Sorry last should have been an alpha release)
Pixmaps.c char * unsigned char * problem for SGI Polygon
prototype on DrawDot,DrawCircle,etc.. removed
Xmgf 2.3.3.Alpha Adrian Hilton desired that autocommand scripts
didn't use such memory. XmgfMalloc and XmgfFree introducted to
remove problems of Malloc MALLOCDEBUG also used for people wanting
to trace malloc problems.
Xmgf 2.4 Resource minimization. A few bug fixes and now 1000 limit
anymore on object translation.
