hi,
Here are some trivial bugs I found today with vtk. They
should be easy to fix.
1) Why are so many of the .cxx/.h files and other text files (in the
cvs tree) executable?
2) Why do we need executables/libraries in the cvs tree. The pcmaker
directory has the following files:
$ ls -l *.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 prabhu prabhu 905273 Oct 22 01:23 pcmaker.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 prabhu prabhu 147456 Apr 28 2000 vtkHTML.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 prabhu prabhu 147456 Jul 12 21:12 vtkParseJava.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 prabhu prabhu 155648 Jul 12 21:12 vtkWrapJava.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 prabhu prabhu 154624 Sep 30 00:07 vtkWrapPython.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 prabhu prabhu 172032 Oct 22 01:24 vtkWrapTcl.exe*
$
Why should these exist in the cvs tree?? Why do you also need
to distribute the tcl82/tk82 libs with VTK?
3) Why do the Makefiles insist on installing the libraries with the
execute bit on? For instance in Kits.make
----
install_python: install build_python
@echo "Installing libVTK${ME}Python${SHLIB_SUFFIX}"
${INSTALL} -m 755 libVTK${ME}Python${SHLIB_SUFFIX} $(LIB_INSTALL_DIR)/li
bVTK${ME}Python${SHLIB_SUFFIX}
---
And similar things elsewhere. Shouldnt this be ${INSTALL} -m
644 instead?
4) A small consistency question. In vtkViewport.h there is a function
to set the background color. Get/Set Backgroud(). Shouldn't this
function be called Get/Set BackgroundColor instead? Every other
Get/Set*Color function has a "Color" at the end.
Sorry if this sounds like nitpicking, but I thought these were
worth mentioning and might be of some use.
thanks,
prabhu
