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.

remap when I copy circle entities, in order to make the radius

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]
workplanes. And fix up our polygon normals, so that everything gets
shaded correctly (and so that later we can generate our STL files
with correct normals).
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1706]
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]
faces of the polyhedron. And shade the faces when I draw them, and
fix up our projection matrix so that the depth testing works
properly.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1703]
foreground and background colours are now specified separately, and
it's possible to insert half-line spaces. So now I have a window
that lets me show/hide groups, and select the active one.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1695]
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]
locked on to the XY plane. And simplify the handling of colors in
the text window: identify them by a character, not an integer ID,
since the character is easier to remember.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1687]
and point-in-plane. These work, but the equation is still stupid,
solving everything at once and not substituting trivial equations.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1677]
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.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1673]
expressions that we wish to keep around. And make the 2d coordinate
system (that causes points to generate 2 unknowns, not 3) an
attribute of the request, not the group, and add user interface to
change that.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1670]
the plane basis vectors) work, easy. Tweak the text window a bit,
for cosmetics, and start to add the symbolic expression code.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1667]
can use the high bits as an "import ID" for imported parts, for
hierarchy (that retains parametric capabilities).
Implement enought that I can draw a datum point or a line segment,
and drag points around in three-space. Still so much to do.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1665]
just for display, and any text entry will happen via some floating
text box, same as entering a dimension on the sketch.
Add the hover and selection mechanism, which now seems to work.
Still not clear how to do imported parts, for assemblies and
hierarchy. The handle formats may still have to change.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1662]
and I am assuming that many more operations will require lookups in
the IdList<>.
Add code to represent and draw a 2d coordinate system. The origin
is described by a point, and the orientation by a quaternion. So
now it does the same thing before, and draws the reference planes,
but with a lot more lines of code.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1658]
progress. I want to change the sketch.h stuff fairly significantly,
I think, before proceeding.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1657]
draw planes that I will use to do the datum planes. Still haven't
settled upon the request/entity/group structure, and that's the
dependency before doing much real.
