It would be cool if ever 5 seconds there was a print of the cgal processing
sequence... same as xvid display when it is encoding.

i.e. vertices processed 897654J
number of combined primitives - 236 ...

i.e. in a cgal loop which counts vertices into memory, if (i == 1000) echo
the number of vertices and processing stats.

It would be cool if ever 5 seconds there was a print of the cgal processing
sequence... same as xvid display when it is encoding.

That would be nice to have.

However there seems to be no existing hook so it could be done by just
a user of CGAL. Implementing it in CGAL and sending a patch might work
(I don't know anything about their policy of accepting things).

As we don't recompile CGAL on all platforms for release, it could take
quite some time until that feature becomes available.

The plan? hope? wish? is to switch to some alternative library anyway.
Unfortunately that's not an easy topic either...

ciao,
Torsten.

Hi Torsten, i have written a feature request on the CGAL web page, and two
CGAL programmers have already offered solutions in the same day, however the
precise nature of the request is not very clear to explain, perhaps you can
add some wisdom at some time because it is already quite a confusing topic,
check here: https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/issues/341#issuecomment-140415456

Cgal does seem very robust, perhaps that it's speed is also makes it's
strength because it doesnt miss any kinds of multi triangle intersections.
perhaps it's cgal that makes openscad strength, it is slow and very
reliable.

Ahh, nice. Look like Marius already commented on the issue. After
quite some battles with CGAL, he knows it much better than me, so
I guess the topic is in good hands. I've subscribed to the issue,
let's see what happens...

ciao,
Torsten.
