as the difference between the cosines of the two angles. All of the
angle stuff generates huge expressions (Expr *), but doesn't seem
noticeably slow.

These are just a convenience, since it would be possible to get the
same result by drawing a construction line.

version of the code from SketchFlat, with all arbitrary limits
removed.
The TTF text is its own entity, and that entity includes the
font file basename and the text. That's an extra 128 bytes in the
entity, which is around a 50% increase, kind of a shame. It was
simple, though.

that to try to find them if we can't find them by absolute path.
This is intended to make everything still work if you copy an
entire directory tree of files that import each other.
Also add a mechanism to not paint the scene if we're not sure it's
consistent; otherwise got some crashes on startup. And disable both
text and graphic window when displaying a modal dialog, wasn't
doing that always.

The pitch (both axial and radial) gets specified by typing a

separate groups. The section is swept normal to the trajectory,
producing a mesh. I'm doing the triangles only now, not copying
over any entities.
Also fix a bug in the PNG export; rows are 4-aligned, so that was
breaking when the width of the image wasn't divisible by four. Also
fix a bug in lathes, where it generated overlapping triangles for
one segment.
And change the groups to record both "this mesh", the contribution
due to the extrude/lathe/whatever, and the "running mesh", that we
get after applying the requested Boolean op between "this mesh" and
the previous group's "running mesh". I'll use that to make step and
repeats step the mesh too.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1801]
an Expr *, since that complicates multiple units and also memory
management. Now it's just a double.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1791]
So fix that, and now I can simplify what's exported for an entity.
And add an extra measurement (face-face distance/angle), and some
other little stuff.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1789]

GW.showPoints is false, and zoom to fit before regenerating on file
open, because then we're at the right zoom level (and will use the
right pwl tolerance).

up remap list search with a hash table, other stuff.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1786]
and requests to a separate list. It's messy, because I have to make
a deep copy (e.g. of the remap list for the groups, or Expr *
stuff) of some things. Others (e.g. the polygon or mesh) will be
regenerated, so they should be discarded, but they must not get
double-freed.
In any case, works superficially. And fix a few memory leaks
unrelated to this, and remove some dead code.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1775]
BSP stuff works. The failures are reported with red stripes and no
depth buffering, and in a message in the text window.
Also improve convergence of point-on-line constraints, and don't
write triangles to export files with limited precision, because
that was making the coplanar tests fail.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1774]
becomes dirty when the user makes a change, and only the dirty
groups get solved. That's a huge effective speedup.
Also add delete function for groups. That has an interesting issue;
it actually ends up recursing on GenerateAll(), since GenerateAll()
calls ClearSuper(), ClearSuper() might need to recreate a group (if
all the groups were deleted), and that would activate the group,
which calls GenerateAll. The right solution is probably a deferred
execution mechanism, where you can schedule something to happen
before we go idle, but not do it right now.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1771]
in one place. And remove the ability to disable the solver, since
that's unlikely to be anything but confusing (and in any case, was
badly implemented). This is in preparation for selective solving,
of only the dirty groups.

csg ops; so the union of a red part and a blue part has both red
and blue faces. And some user interface to pick the color in the
text window.
The metadata also include a face, which will be an entity; I can
use that to constrain against. But none of that is yet implemented.

part, including all of its entities and the triangle mesh. These
are transformed by a rotation and translation, and appear in the
sketch; the transformation may be set with constraints.

nicely. And to do that, I've added the user interface to show an
edit control in the text window.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1749]
so e.g. a new extrude starts in free space, which is likely what
you want. And default to an in-workplane group, and tweak the
display of workplanes.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1748]
implement that. Also make solver work only between the first and
last visible group; earlier can just work from previous solve
result, and later don't matter.
There's some issues with the csg code; it will eventually produce
an open mesh, which is very bad. Not sure whether that's a logic
bug, or a numerical issue; still generating absurd triangles pretty
routinely.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1741]
as a constraint on the direction cosine, rather than driving the
dot product against a rotated vector to zero. The drawing is the
ugly part; to do that for skew lines, I gave up.
Also add a function to clear non-existent items on the selection
after solving, since that could have caused an oops().

list, and then adding a new entity to that list, and then looking
at that pointer again. Not okay; the add operation might have
forced a realloc. I have to watch for that.
And add a "distance ratio" constraint, plus a new kind of group
that comes with its own workplane. The workplane is not solved for;
it's generated explicitly in terms of elements that are already
solved.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1716]
translation; or equivalently, rotation about an arbitrary axis).
Those will be important for step and repeats, and for imported
parts.
Also fix a terrible memory corruption bug: I was freeing the remap
list after I loaded it from the file, but the code that put that
into the SS.group list made only a shallow copy.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1715]
constraints. And generate the constraint equations for entities
(e.g., that our unit quaternions have magnitude one). Numerical
troubles there, but it sort of works. Also some stuff to draw
projection lines with projected constraints, and to auto-insert
more constraints as you draw.

segments), add the toggle construction command, and color the lines
differently depending on what group you're in.
Also change dynamic memory stuff to use a Win32 heap for everything
(no malloc), and validate that often. I think I've seen it crash,
though I can't reproduce it.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1708]
vectors", represented by unit quaternions. This permits me to add
circles, where the normal defines the plane of the circle.
Still many things painful. The interface for editing normals is not
so intuitive, and it's not yet clear how I would e.g. export a
circle entity and recreate it properly, since that entity has a
param not associated with a normal or point.
And the transformed points/normals do not yet support rotations.
That will be necessary soon.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1705]
or taking partials (constant folding). Also keep a little hash
table to mark with params are used in each equation, in order to
quickly discard trivial partial derivatives. This is solving a
64x64 system in <20 ms. I suspect this is now much faster than
Sketchflat.
Slightly fake situation, though, since substitution solver has not
yet been written, and no partitioning. I'll do those next.

[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1694]
other entities. This requires a new point type, for a point that's
defined as a transformation of some other point. All works nicely,
I think. There's ugliness because entities are no longer guaranteed
to have a parent request.
Also speed up display of the text window, by caching brushes
instead of recreating for each character (!), and add a bit more
user interface in the text window.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1692]
workplane: a free constraint works in three-space (e.g. true
distance), and a constraint in a workplane works in that plane
(e.g. projected distance). And make the solver go automatically,
though solver itself has lots of pieces missing.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1691]
points are now entities like any others; so a line segment request
will generate three entities, the line segment and its endpoints. I
think that's cleaner.
When I do step and repeats (and imports, and other similar), I'll
need a consistent way to assign those entity ids. That assignment
must not change if the sketch is edited. I don't have a clean way
to do that; best thought right now is to keep a record of what maps
have been used previously, and not pick a new map as long as it's
possible to use one that was used previously.
This all means that more crap gets pushed in to the Entity
structure, so that they can keep track of what solver variables
define them. Still seems better, though. I'm closer to ready
to start solving.

to work from a table somehow. Move the quaternion stuff into its
own class, and add a fancy animated view when you orient onto a
csys.
