DATHeader feature request

[Willy Tschager]

Mike,

it would be great if DATHeader could check if there are present cond. lines overlapping with edges:

2 24 14.24 11.29 -0.5681 14.14 11.95 -1.059
5 24 14.24 11.29 -0.5681 14.14 11.95 -1.059 12.97 11.75 -0.8606 14.51 9.55 -1.457

Thanks, w.

I remember that I thought about this some time ago. Because I did not yet integrate this functionality into DATHeader there must have been a reason why. I also remember about a discussion of this, but could not find it yet. There might have been circumstances that allows this kind of overlapping.
Does anybody remember that thread?

[Philippe Hurbain]

I don't remember... and don't see why it could be useful to have such overlap. Suggested correction is to delete overlapping condline.

[Max Martin Richter]

Maybe it will cause in problems with the condlines of cylinders, which are placed at a sharp edge?!

Datheader shouldn't go down into primitives, so this kind of overlap (indeed existing) should't be seen.

[Michael Heidemann]

Yes, this was in one of the earlier discussions. If we can agree not to look into linetype 1 content it should not be a big deal.

[Michael Heidemann]

As there is no complain so far, I think I should incorporate this into the next version.
