Hello!!Anybody can tell me that how can I open a STL files with 0penGL(on c++ builder 6)??

[.oisyn]

what's an STL file?

[monjardin]

Do you mean #include and STL header file?

[Faelenor]

I guess he means the "stereolithography" ascii file format.

Well, you open it just like any other file and you have to write a simple parser to read it. There is no file format supported in OpenGL, it's only a graphics api. If you want to read a specific file, you have to write the reader yourself.

yes,I mean "stereolithography"......
Can you write some code to help me??
let me to know that how to do.....
thank you very much

[monjardin]

Wow! What a great example of how to NOT go about getting get help from a forum. :blink:
Why would someone waste their time to do a bunch of work for you when you won't even type a decent post? Faelenor went through the trouble of deriving the meaning of your crypting question, and he even capitalized the first word of each sentence!
Maybe this link will help you out.

i love that link, never seen it before

:lol: You just bumped the catalyst for eddie's suggestion of my JwN meter!

Hopefully, wumath figured out how to render his "STL" files. He did say: "thank you very much"

[eddie]

I really wish your JwN meter was 'statically' imprinted on a page. It would be interesting to see if it went up or down in a given thread. :)

[monjardin]

Well... I could paste it into each post instead of using a signature....

:geek: That's a pretty sad thing to do with my time. :geek:

[ok, this is becoming totally offtopic]

Is it allowed to have an image in your signature? If it is, you can write a script that generates the JwN meter image using the referer header

[monjardin]

That's a great idea, but alas, images in the signature are verboten... :(
