formats, with the proper color and width. This may need a bit of
cleanup for stuff like the hidden line removal, which currently
loses the style.
Also fix a bug in the test for arcs of a circle. A second-order
Bezier with collinear control points really is an arc, but it's an
arc with infinite radius so stuff tends to blow up. So return false
for that one.

surface's domain of u, v in [0, 1]. Cache the starting guess when
projecting a point into a ratpoly surface, to avoid brute force
searching for a good one every time. Split edges even if they
aren't quite inside the trim curve, since the trim boundaries are
pwl, not exact; unnecessary splits won't hurt, but failure to split
when necessary will. Make the triangulation code use a better (but
not perfect) epsilon, to avoid "can't find ear" failures on very
fine meshes.
And turn on compiler optimization! I had somehow forgotten about
that, and it's a ~2x improvement.

a method that works on the piecewise linear segments, and then
refines any intersections that it finds by Newton's method. So now
I support cubics too, and circle-circle intersections, and the code
is much simpler.

uv points. This is inconsistent, unless the surface happens to be a
plane square with side length one.
So modify the SBspUv tests to take a surface, and measure distance
linearized in that surface. That fixes at least one
mis-classification bug, and doesn't seem to break anything.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2005]
Otherwise, we might merge in ways that make things slower (because
the bboxes aren't as tight) or less robust (because the
intersection needs to be split in more places, and that might fail).

chain. That's much faster than going edge by edge.

bad seems to happen when a trim curve's u or v coordinate goes even
slightly outside [0, 1]. And since I considered the bbox of the pwl
segments when merging coincident surfaces (and not the true
curves), that happened. So add a bit of slop, which seems to make
things happy.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1999]
the arbitrary-magnitude dot product, to classify regions (inside,
outside, coincident) of surfaces against each other.
That lets me always perturb the point for the normals (inside and
outside the edge) by just a chord tolerance, and nothing bad
happens as that distance varies over a few orders of magnitude.

problem or a tendency to generate backwards edges or both, need to
debug that. But it generates the curve, and begins to work.
And change the edge classification. Now instead of testing for
point-on-surface using the results of the raycasting, test for
point-on-surface as a separate step. That stops us from picking up
the additional numerical error from the surface-line intersection,
which may be significant if the ray is parallel or almost parallel
to the surface.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1991]
boundary points, at least. That required some changes to what gets
passed around (for example because to project a point onto this
inexact curve, we need to know which two surfaces it trims so that
we can do a Newton's method on them).
And fix stupidity in the way that I calculated edge normals; I just
did normal in uv space, and there's no particular reason why that
would be normal in xyz. So edges in long skinny surfaces failed,
for example.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1990]
empty (no trims) surfaces. It will generate a screwy bounding box,
which will make things break numerically later.

xyz point that I subtracted off had been refined to lie exactly on
our edge's curve, and the uv point that I started with had not. So
normals got randomly screwed up.

with multiple outer contours generates multiple advanced faces.
Also turn the default chord tol down to 1.5 pixels, seems more
likely to make the exact surface Booleans work.

and I don't have the stuff to handle holes or multiple outer

of revolution, and put them in the same form as if they had been
draw by an extrusion (so that we can use all the same special case
intersection curves).
And add code to merge coincident faces into one. That turns out to
be more than a cosmetic/efficiency thing, since edge splitting
fails at the join between two coincident faces.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1965]
separate polygon of coincident (with same or opposite normal)
faces; I instead test all the edges against the other shell, and
have extended the classify-against-shell stuff to handle those
cases.
And the normals are now perturbed a bit numerically, to either side
of the edge, to distinguish tangency from a coincident surface.
This seems to work fairly well, although things still tend to fail
when the piecewise linear tolerance is too coarse.

stuff for Boolean operations and step and repeat, so it's
relatively clean.
Still need to add the stuff to make a mesh vertex-to-vertex, and to
export sections of a mesh.

a grid of quads, with adaptive spacing. The quads that lie entirely
within the trim polygon are triangulated and knocked out from the
polygon, and then the polygon is triangulated.
That works okay, though rather slow. But there are issues with
surfaces of revolution that touch the axis, since they end up with
a singularity. That will require some thought.

our specified section plane; we then split them according to the
start and endpoints of each STrimBy, using de Castejau's algorithm.
These sections get projected (possibly in perspective, which I do
correctly) into 2d and exported.
Except, for now they just get pwl'd in the export files. That's the
fallback, since it works for any file format. But that's the place
to add special cases for circles etc., or to export them exactly.
DXF supports the latter, but very painfully since I would need to
write a later-versioned file, which requires thousands of lines of
baggage. I'll probably stick with arcs.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1936]

Also get rid of the meshError stuff; will just use the nakedEdges
mechanism for that. And I won't run the interference test
continuously, have added a menu item for that.

well.
But that shows that tangency has other problems; need to classify
edges correctly (whether they point to a coincident surface) in
curved surfaces too. I need to tweak SShell::ClassifyPoint().

* Rewrite surface handles in curves, so that Booleans beyond
the first don't screw up.
* If an intersection curve is identical to an existing curve
(as happens when faces are coincident), take the piecewise
linearization of the existing curve; this stops us from
screwing up when different shells are pwl'd at different
chord tols.
* Hook up the plane faces again.
* Remove coincident (parallel or anti-parallel) edges from the
coincident-face edge lists when doing Booleans; those may
happen if two faces are coincident with ours.
* Miscellaneous bugfixes.
It doesn't seem to screw up very much now, although tangent edges
(and insufficient pwl resolution) may still cause problems.

surface subdivision on a chord tolerance, and that seems okay now.
And print info about the graphics adapter in the text window, could
be useful.

with the heuristic on when to stop and do Newton polishing.

split an edge, we can refine the split point to lie exactly on the
trim curve, so I can do certain Booleans on curved surfaces.
But surface-line intersection is globally broken, since I don't
correctly detect the number of intersections or provide a good
first guess. I maybe should test by bounding boxes and subdivision.

left and right of each edge, and keeping the edges if those regions
(2d, surfaces) classify different.
Still screws up with edge-on-edge intersections; but if I make the

straightforward to use that info.

no need to fix the directions before triangulating.

Add stubs for functions to perform Booleans, and get rid of mesh
stuff, including the kd tree accelerated snap to vertex (which
should not be required if the shell triangulation performs as it
should).
Also check that a sketch is not self-intersecting before extruding
it or whatever. This is dead slow, needs n*log(n) implementation.

Adjust the ear clipping so that it generates strip-like

And rearrange deck chairs on the bridge-finding code, which is
still pathetically slow. It may not be possible to get reasonable
performance without kd tree type acceleration.
