Hi OCC-users,
I am reading again and again so much code-examples of you all folks. It looks just great.
Allow me one big question ? How in heaven do you visualize it ? Why can´t I find a really relevant hint in any of the manuals or so ?
Why this big secret and mysticism around it ?
I read about that AIS_Shape and viewer stuff and use it too, but there simpliy is no point. Nothing to see.
What is the secret ? I am using Linux and there is qt 2.3 and 3.1 installed on my machine.
I thought that OCC is that "big", that it has the ability to visualize, without a single line in QT, MFC or what the heck ever...
Is this wrong ?
Can anyone tell me how you finally get your results on the screen "VISUALLY" ???
It cannot be that eternally tough. Someone of you must know this ? Or does no one visualize anything with OCC, just numerics ?
Any hint is a great thing.

Hi,
perhaps you can show us a part of your code so we can search for an error? I don't understand your question - do you want to use OCC without an GUI or what?
Regards,
Patrik

Okay I am talking about the example on page 85 in the visualization's user guide of OCC 5.0
If you do not have it, although it is freely downloadable, I can send it to you afterwards.
Best Regards and Thanks.

No,
I have the complete package. But as already set the examples in the pdf files are just code fragments. So give some more hints.

Okay okay folks thank you, I solved it and also found the suspect Normal.SetCoord() Method, which is in the gp_XYZ-packages. The display works properly, and shows a polygon.
Now OCC 5.0 finally starts making a lot of fun.
Nevertheless, any tip or hint is welcome anyway, maybe there is a better way to display things via a purely AIS_Shape-usage...
Any additional hint is welcome indeed...
have fun...

Hi,
assume you have successfully created your AIS_InteractiveContext and built TopoDS_Shapes from your geometry - the only thing you have to do is:
anInteractiveContext->Display(new AIS_Shape(myTopoDS_Shape));
HTH,
Patrik
