	  SoGui modules.

	  names and the one's in Python. (thx to Joe Newman for notifying
	  me) fixed examples to reflect the changes...

	* THANKS: added Peder Blekken.

2003-08-23 15:29  tamer

	* pivy.i: removed now obsolete ignores as unimplemented methods got
	  fixed in Coin-2 cvs by Peder Blekken.  added ignores for
	  SoGuiColorEditor (reported by Roland Schulz)

	  removed typemaps for unsigned char *. those are arrays and python
	  string functions obviously only read until a '\0' is encountered
	  like any other C function, too.  this renders SoSFImage.h useless
	  until array handling for unsigned char * is properly fixed in
	  pivy. will very likely map them to lists.

	* THANKS: added Roland Schulz.

2003-08-23 15:18  tamer

	* Inventor/: SbDPMatrix.h, SbMatrix.h: gcc 3.3 doesn't work with
	  the former workaround for the swig cast. refined it and made it
	  less ugly. reported by Roland Schulz.

2003-08-22 19:32  tamer

	* build_pivy.py: -w flag added that allows switching off the
	  suppression of SWIG warnings.

2003-07-28 02:33  tamer

	* pivy.i: added handling for unsigned char* -> PyString and vice
	  versa.

2003-07-28 02:31  tamer

	* build_pivy.py: moved -Ifake_headers before -I%s. As seen during
	  my visit at TU Muenchen (many greets to Christian Sandor btw. :))
	  there are people who really do install Coin into /usr/ instead of
	  /usr/local.

2003-07-10 01:44  tamer

	* Inventor/SoOffscreenRenderer.h: fixed writeToRGB() typo.

2003-07-05 03:10  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQtRenderArea.h: the QEvent bridge is complete.
	  chose not to depend on and link against libsip and libqtcmodule.
	  used a switch statement for autocasting.  by this
	  10.2.setEventCB.py and native event handling with PyQt now
	  works...

2003-07-05 01:38  tamer

	* examples/Mentor/python/10.2.setEventCB.py: removed now obsolete
	  FIXME comment.

2003-07-05 01:37  tamer

2003-07-05 01:31  tamer

	* examples/Mentor/python/10.2.setEventCB.py: final version of the
	  now fully working 10.2.setEventCB example.  SoQtRenderArea
	  patches to be checked in...

2003-07-05 01:21  tamer

	* Inventor/SbViewVolume.h: typemaps for projectPointToLine() and
	  projectToScreen(). only projectPointToLine(const SbVec2f& pt,
	  SbVec3f& line0, SbVec3f& line1) const; gets applied. to be used
	  as e.g.: p0, p1 = myViewVolume.projectPointToLine(SbVec2f(x,y))

2003-07-03 06:38  tamer

	* examples/Mentor/python/10.2.setEventCB.py: updated example to
	  reflect the changes in SoQtRenderArea which allows now to get
	  QEvent's in the way PyQt expects them.  open question: how does
	  one cast a QEvent to a QMouseEvent in PyQt?

2003-07-03 06:27  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQtRenderArea.h: the first brick for the pyqt bridge
	  is deployed. from the comments:

	  the next stunt here deserves documentation as otherwise i would
	  not know what is going on here by tomorrow morning!

	  What are we doing here? hacking in extremo! i had to find a way
	  to pass the QEvent instance we get to PyQt!

	  the approach i chose is to create a QEvent instance in Python
	  from PyQt (obviously to let this work the user had to import PyQt
	  beforehand. he has to otherwise he has no reason to create this
	  callback).  this gives us a fully and properly instantiated
	  structure as PyQt expects it without digging into sip or
	  depending on the sip library.

	  then i pass the instantiated structure over here and grab the
	  sipThis entry from the instance which holds a u.cppPtr which
	  turns out to be the real Qt Object in memory. *har, we are in
	  business now*

	  now i delete the current pointer and let u.cppPtr point to our
	  very own QEvent Object. amazingly enough this really works...

2003-07-03 01:45  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h: Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS, Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
	  macros around SoQt::mainLoop() were causing segfaults in examples
	  where e.g. mouse events were processed.  the non
	  multithreadsafety feature in Qt and Python said hello and took
	  revenge.  therefore i removed them and am starting to rethink a
	  proper solution to handle the dilemma where one would like to
	  start his program in a thread. (i heard sedatives and heavy drugs
	  might help... :() on to plan b, aka. operation 'mr. workaround
	  strikes back'!

2003-07-01 01:09  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h: Py_Exit() instead of exit() to allow python
	  call PyFinalize() on exit.

2003-06-30 23:39  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h: Pivy_PythonInteractiveLoop has void * as
	  return type and not void. so we really are supposed to return
	  something...

2003-06-28 03:46  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h: if SoQt::mainLoop() gets called from within
	  an interactive python session PyRun_InteractiveLoop() is getting
	  called in a separate thread.	therefore SoQt::mainLoop() isn't a
	  blocking call anymore allowing further manipulation of the scene
	  graph directly within the python interpreter without the need to
	  go through a thread.start_new_thread() workaround.  FIXME note
	  attached as Qt and Python are not mt-safe and nasty problems
	  could result out of this.  The non-blocking SoQt::mainLoop()
	  feature is dedicated to Morten Eriksen! ;)

2003-06-26 02:43  tamer

	* Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h: made SoQt::mainLoop() release the global
	  interpreter lock so that pivy can be used interactively from
	  within the python interpreter without the need to use PyQt and
	  qApp.exec_loop() as a workaround...

2003-03-23 22:24  tamer

	* Inventor/fields/SoFieldContainer.h: consistency: let types be
	  determined by SWIG descriptor or basename variables.

2003-03-23 22:23  tamer

	* Inventor/SbVec3d.h: added handling for operator* with methods
	  like SbVec3f_mul().

2003-03-23 22:22  tamer

	* Inventor/SbVec3f.h: added handling for operator* etc. with
	  methods like SbVec3f_mul().

2003-03-23 22:21  tamer

	* Inventor/SbMatrix.h: added handling for methods like
	  multMatrixVec() that return their value in the 2nd parameter dst.

2003-03-23 22:20  tamer

	* Inventor/nodes/SoSelection.h: fixed typo with deselect().

2003-03-17 07:50  tamer

	* Inventor/fields/: SoMFString.h, SoSFImage.h: fixed typo in
	  SoSFImage error message and added glue code for
	  SoMFString.setValues().  added preliminary currently segfaulting
	  version of a SoSFImage.getValues() method.

2003-03-12 04:42  tamer

	* Inventor/: SbVec3d.h, fields/SoSFImage.h: added pivy versions for
	  SbVec3d.h SoSFImage.h.

	  FIXME notes in SoSFImage.h as the way unsigned char * pixels for
	  setValue() is very breakable and not a very clean solution.
	  unsigned char * gets mapped to a sequence in Python. e.g.:
	  texture = (0xff,0x00,0x00,0xff)
	  mapTex.image.setValue(SbVec2s(2,2),1,texture)

	  FIXME for SoSFImage getValue().

2003-03-12 04:37  tamer

	* Inventor/SbVec3f.h: added __setitem__ method to allow assigning
	  from SoMFVec3f. keep in mind that double indexing like foo[i][2]
	  = bar does not work. the way it works is to calculate the offset
	  and add the coordinate you want to assign.  e.g. foo[i*3+2] =
	  0.15

2003-03-10 00:31  tamer

	* Inventor/SbRotation.h: added SbRotation_eq(), SbRotation_neq(),
	  SbRotation_mul() methods to support operator==, operator!=,
	  operator*.

2003-03-08 03:13  tamer

	* Inventor/SbTime.h: added methods SbTime_add, SbTime_sub,
	  SbTime_d_mult, SbTime_mult, SbTime_div to make operators
	  operator+, operator-, operator*, and operator/ accessible through
	  pivy for efficient usage. otherwise one would have to call
	  methods like SbTime.getValue() twice for operation and create a
	  new instance. e.g.  subtraction would have been done like so:

	  s = SbTime(); s.setToTimeOfDay() t = SbTime(); t.setToTimeOfDay()
	  r = SbTime(s.getValue() - t.getValue())

	  now can be achieved through: SbTime_sub(s,t) which removes 2
	  namespace lookups and one instatiation and calls the more
	  efficient code below.

2003-03-05 04:01  tamer

	* MANIFEST.in, THANKS, build_pivy.py: distutils is currently not up
	  to the task, so i created a build_pivy.py script that should take
	  care of the build process.

	  header files.

	* Makefile: updated to make it easy to build it under MacOS X.

2003-03-03 03:07  tamer

	* Makefile, pivy.i, examples/Mentor/python/10.2.setEventCB.py:
	  fixed up pivy.i to support the new classes in coin-2 (mostly
	  untested).  changed the C module name to _pivy.so as newer swig
	  versions do it and this is the more usual name for such things in
	  the python community. fixed already all headers in this regard.
	  made 10.2.setEventCB.py example more reasonable with SoQt and
	  added notification about it being not fully operational due to a
	  missing PyQt bridge.
