19:02 <J25K56> buZz you sure could use a lib that already has these but starting your own is always a good thing. I wonder if we could agree on some basic forms to make some open.scad lib

19:03 <buZz> puredata (the programming language) has some library manager built into the stock GUI, thats so supernice, called 'deken'

20:17 <buZz> is stuff in .local/share/OpenSCAD/ directly includable in source?

20:17 <buZz> or is there some other 'library searchpath' that isnt . ?

20:18 <teepee> yes, both environment variable and built-in path. see Help->Library Info for the current list

20:23 <buZz> ah! i could have been self-helped if openscad would have mkdir'd 'libraries' for me in the local share folder :D

20:24 <buZz> but this is ideal, ty

20:24 <buZz> buzz@sp4:~/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries$ touch buzzcad.scad

20:24 <teepee> I think it would have done that with File->Open Library folder

20:24 <buZz> 99% of work is done

20:24 <buZz> time for a beer

20:24 <teepee> prost!

20:24 <buZz> :)

20:27 <teepee> J25K56: first part done... https://imgur.com/gcNBPNx - now for the most important 2nd part... xkcd colors :)

20:29 <J25K56> teepee: i think this is pretty amazing!

20:29 <J25K56> well done

20:29 <teepee> turns out sorting colors in 1D is pretty much impossible

20:30 <J25K56> you may use RGB as sorting

20:31 <J25K56> R or G or B

20:31 <J25K56> or you define an RGB vector and the colors are displayed in their distance to your vector

20:32 <J25K56> norm(color)

20:33 <teepee> according to this: https://www.alanzucconi.com/2015/09/30/colour-sorting/ rgb sorting is horrible, I have not tried with our color list though

20:35 <J25K56> some very colorful examples

20:35 <J25K56> maybe ask an AI to sort them following the rainbow

20:37 <teepee> just tried the local one :)

20:38 <J25K56> I think Hue but with selection of light medium dark colors

20:39 <teepee> yeah, that's roughly the "best" from that article, sorting by hue groups first, then by value and lightness

20:39 <teepee> results is a bit meh

20:40 <J25K56> i mean you have RGB selection .. just add some delta to have more range around that selected color

20:41 <teepee> selection?

20:41 <teepee> mistral pointed to https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/index.html which looks interesting

20:41 <J25K56> in your image/build there is selection by name and rgb

20:42 <teepee> that is just going to be the one you click

20:43 <teepee> to give some extra info, similar to the font window

20:52 <teepee> not bad, but not good either: https://imgur.com/Dt1SrDp

20:53 <teepee> eh, better link https://imgs.openscad.org/image/b079165e-daf8-41a6-841c-8fc7d9610d05.png :D

20:58 <J25K56> make 3 bars .. light .. med .. dark

23:34 <TylerTork> I have a question about import. Using 2025.07.25 (git 6a8ab04bf), importing an SVG file created with Inkscape and using the id parameter to specify an object. For instance, I'm using the value id="OVAL" and such an object does exist and is a simple path, as shown here: https://prnt.sc/QJl9Qv7zUdvc

23:34 <TylerTork> But when I try the import using this code:

23:34 <TylerTork> echo(path);

23:34 <TylerTork> import(path, center=true, convexity=5, id="OVAL");

23:34 <TylerTork> I get no error message, but nothing is imported. If I leave off the id parameter, I do get the whole image. Any clues what's going on here? Is there a preference setting to enable the ID parameter, or what?

23:35 <teepee> it's a filter, so no match -> no error

23:35 <teepee> I don't think what you list there is the svg-id

23:35 <TylerTork> But as the screenshot shows, there is a match. Am I understanding what value is wanted as an ID?

23:36 <TylerTork> How might I get Inkscape to cough up this information, if the ID is something other than the name I assigned it?

23:37 <TylerTork> Ah, I see. There's an ID and a Label

23:38 <teepee> yep, example: https://imgs.openscad.org/image/be732a33-765f-4285-86e4-cebfd6f8ecd9.png

23:39 <teepee> the object-id is only shown in the object-properties dialog

23:40 <TylerTork> thanks
