DIME sucks
Ethan Ethan

Here's what I wanted to do:

  1. traverse the entities; sort them by layer
  2. for each layer, visit all the entities of that layer; join lines, etc. Print out everything.

Here's what actually happens:

  1. traverse the entities; sort them by layer name (layers themselves are deleted or something after you visit them)
  2. for each layer, visit all the entities of that layer; print out everything.
  3. Crash horribly.

I could work on this converter more until I got around DIME's misbehavior, but for the time being I'll live with it. I've already spent too much time tweaking the converter -- this close to deadline, polish goes on the important stuff, not the tools.

DXF converter
Ethan Ethan

Converter's mostly done; I've been adding some tweaks to try and make it more "nicer"; whether these tweaks will be a net gain or a net loss, it remains to be seen. Right now I'm having segfaults. Joy!

Tomorrow I'm gonna try to finish up the DXF converter and see if I can't get some optimization done. Carl's been working on the station graphics, and it would be nice to have a fast engine to put the graphics in!
