Two toys to play with

Spider SQL Viewer

Last night I got all excited. I saw that the "Surfaces" table in several of the SPL files included azimuth, tilt, width and height. And I thought to myself: "Yay, something to draw!"

But today, I see that there is no origin for the surfaces that I can find. So here is an image of all the surfaces - with each surface placed one unit above the other. ;-(

The example files gallery allow you to open any of the SQL files.

I will be looking into Chris suggestions tomorrow.

Spider CSV Viewer

There is one CSV file in the tests/result folder. So I got at least one thing to chart today. And, of course, it's much more fun to play with the data so it doesn't look like printed on paper data. . The data seems to be abstract things like temperature, so let's make it look like cartoon mountains. And the text is long and boring, it would be nice if it just disappears into the fog.

I will be looking into generating some new building models. Question: What time of buildings would be helpfule] for me to start with.

It made nice graphics! :)

I will be looking into generating some new building models. Question: What time of buildings would be helpful for me to start with.

The usual suspects will be helpful: rectangular, cross, H shape and U shape buildings are most likely the most desired.
