GiD forum

Hey, people

first beta release of GiD on Mac OS X, based on GiD 7.2:

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/download/doMAC_v7.subst

it uses the X11 window system and needs:
· Mac OS X 10.2.1 ( check http://www.apple.com/macosx for updates)
· X11 window system, for instance one of:
- Apple: http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11
- XDarwin: http://www.xdarwin.org

Once installed, GiD launches the X11 window system if it is not
already launched, prior to executing itself.

Dear All,

Could somebody write me back what means the 7th value of the ortholimits
of a geometry.
The ortholimits values are the same that those present in the file
generated by View-View-Save
and the 7th value corresponds to the "e" variable.

Thank you by advance.

the 'e' value from the 'View-save' file comes from:

lets say that the bounding box of the model is
Low(x,y,z) - High(x,y,z)

Big = MAX( HighX - LowX, HighY - LowY, HighZ - LowZ)

then

e = 0.5 * sqrt( 3 * Big * Big);

this value is used inside gid for the margins of the model
and other calculations.
