What is the last argument "options" for SplintGen::generate()

[ywei]

Here's the definition for SplintGen::generate()

int generate(
double startDepth, // depth of top of 1st layer prior to rotation
double x, // x-component of vector perpendicular to splinter layers
double y, // y-component of vector perpendicular to splinter layers
double z, // z-component of vector perpendicular to splinter layers
int options);

Anyone has idea what the last argument means? My program keeps crashing in this function and I have no idea what's wrong. Thanks.

You can set that to _SG_OPT_ALLOW_NONCONVEX as defined in SplintGen.h.

Thanks. I'm still experiencing segmentation fault when generate() is called. Pretty sure I'm reading the pixel values correctly, so I'm thinking it's either something wrong with addLayer or generate(), but I had a hard time figuring out. Could you please take a look at this code? Maybe I'm packing the rgba to int incorrectly? Or any of my argument doesn't make sense? Thanks!

This is pretty much what I did:

// ........ read the pixels, and get xRes, yRes, channel size

Pixelux::SplintGen sGen;
sGen.initialize();
sGen.enableDiagnostics("/mcp/diag.txt");

int *texture = new int[xRes*yRes];
unsigned char r, g, b, a;
int offset = 0;
for (int y = 0; y < yRes; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < xRes; x++, offset++)
{
r = pixels[offset*channels];
g = pixels[offset*channels];
b = pixels[offset*channels];
a = 255;

//std::cout << std::setbase(10) << "\t\tpixel[" << x << "][" << y << "] = {" << r << ", " << g << ", " << b << ", " << a << "}" << std::endl;

int texel = 0x00 | r;
texel <<= 8;
texel += 0x00 | g;
texel <<= 8;
texel += 0x00 | b;
texel <<= 8;
texel += 0x00 | a;
//std::cout << "\t\ttexel = " << std::setbase(16) << texel << std::endl;

texture[offset] = texel;
}


int result = sGen.addLayer(
xRes, // width of the texture (in texels)
yRes, // height of the texture (in texels)
texture, // each 32-bit int is 1 texel (8 bits each of RGBA)
500, // the texture's full width in splinter space
500, // the texture's full height in splinter space
500, // thickness of this layer in splinter space
0, // x-coord of texture's left side in splntr space
0);
std::cout << "\taddLayer() = " << result << std::endl;

result = sGen.generate(
500, // depth of top of 1st layer prior to rotation
0, // x-component of vector perpendicular to splinter layers
0, // y-component of vector perpendicular to splinter layers
1, // z-component of vector perpendicular to splinter layers
SG_OPT_ALLOW_NONCONVEX); // ?? what does this option means

The weird thing is, if I just declare an instance of SplintGen and return, I get segmentation fault too.

int main(...)
{
SplintGen sGen;
return 0;
}

If I create an instance like this:

SplintGen *sGen = new SplintGen;
...
delete sGen;

The program will work correctly. So I think this is a bug in this class.
