CloudCompare forum

I forgot something:

Once you have a scalar field, check the 'display scale' checkbox at the bottom of the cloud 'Porperties', in the 'SF Scale' section (left side of the screen). See attached example.

Hello, Color scale is only available for scalar fields (one floating point value associated to each point). The "Color ramp" tool is just a way to assign colors (R,G,B) to a cloud. Therefore, to do what you want to do: - you can indeed use the "height grid generation" tool, but b...

Ok, so it appears that it was a 'unicode' encoded text file (UTF8 exactly) while CloudCompare doesn't handle such enconding styles. It needs pure 8bit ANSI (such as what the classical Notepad tool generates). I'll try to figure out if Qt could help CloudCompare be more 'subtle'... meanwhile, don't u...

It works with my own ICM files, but please send me yours: daniel.girardeau@gmail.com (or add it as an attachment to your reply).

Oh, it may also come from your text editor. Can you still test this with the new CC version on the trunk? (or do you need an executable?)

Hello, are you trying to do this on Linux? I checked the code and I saw that the comparison between the first line in the file and what is attended (#CC_ICM_FILE) is a bit harsh (it includes also the 'carriage return' character (which is never a good idea, as it is not the same for Unix and Windows ...

Yeah, no problem. It's already in the trunk version. It will appear in the next release. I just had to strip the ",0,'f',3" arguments of the QString 'arg' methods, as it depends too much on your cloud dimensions/units. I prefer let QString choose automatically (it does this well generally)...

Hello, indeed, the CloudCompare 2.3 documentation is still a "work in progress" (for 2 years now!). In fact, the "compute density" tool is very simple and was just intended to give a quick and dirty overlook of the cloud density repartition: - for each point of the cloud, it just...

Hum, didn't you want to work in non-absolute mode? In this mode, the minimum and maximum are actually the true values. For the other issues, the color in each square is generally the color that you would get with the average value in this square. But for some specific values (0, min and max, etc.), ...

Hello Dimitri, here is a first peak on the new 'color scale' system. - I've found very neat widgets to handle intervales (Qxt library 'SpanSlider' - libqxt.org). It should help to better understand how the sliders work. - I've added options in the 'Display settings' dialog to handle the color scale ...
