Dear Hans, I wrote to you

thank you for your latest effort to put u3d support in a working state, but

more thanks for more effort, but

May be a more robust way is to read first 3 bytes of the model file, since "U3D" or "PRC" signature is always there - that can be done instead of relying on file name extension or only in case it it not "u3d" or "prc".

you have implemented reading the file signature, but it is now almost useless, since if a file has extension other but U3D or PRC 3D annotation code will not be called by file inclusion mechanism and "io.readdata" routine is called local subtype, subdata = "U3D", io.readdata(foundname) or "" - what's that? One more point - preview bitmap images in 3D annotations are now disabled since necessary functionality of measuring XForms is missing - please, consider the following workaround. --- lpdf-u3d.lua.org 2010-03-26 18:24:44.000000000 +0300 +++ lpdf-u3d.lua 2010-04-14 14:24:28.000000000 +0400 @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ local cos, sin, sqrt, pi, atan2, abs = math.cos, math.sin, math.sqrt, math.pi, math.atan2, math.abs local pdfconstant = lpdf.constant +local pdfnumber = lpdf.number local pdfboolean = lpdf.boolean local pdfunicode = lpdf.unicode local pdfdictionary = lpdf.dictionary @@ -62,8 +63,7 @@ local function make3dview(view) - local name = viewname - local name = pdfunicode((view.name ~= "" and name) or "unknown view") + local name = pdfunicode((view.name ~= "" and view.name) or "unknown view") local viewdict = pdfdictionary { Type = pdfconstant("3DView"), @@ -311,9 +311,6 @@ for i=1,#nodes do local node = checkedkey(nodes,i,"table") if node then - local position = checkedkey(node,"position","table") - position = position and #position == 12 and pdfarray(position) - if position then nodelist[#nodelist+1] = pdfdictionary { Type = pdfconstant("3DNode"), N = node.name or ("node_" .. i), -- pdfunicode ? @@ -325,13 +322,18 @@ }, M = position, } + local position = checkedkey(node,"position","table") + position = position and #position == 12 and pdfarray(position) + if position then + nodelist[#nodelist].M = position end end end - viewdict.NR = true viewdict.NA = nodelist end + viewdict.NR = true + return viewdict end @@ -349,19 +351,19 @@ local activationdict = pdfdictionary { TB = pdfboolean(param.toolbar,true), - NP = pdfboolean(param.tree,true), + NP = pdfboolean(param.tree,false), } local stream = streams[label] if not stream then - local subtype, subdata = "U3D", io.readdata(foundname) or "" + local subtype, subdata = "U3D", file.readdata(foundname) or "" if find(subdata,"^PRC") then - subtype == "PRC" + subtype = "PRC" elseif find(subdata,"^U3D") then - subtype == "U3D" + subtype = "U3D" elseif file.extname(foundname) == "prc" then - subtype == "PRC" + subtype = "PRC" end local attr = pdfdictionary { @@ -423,12 +425,35 @@ local ref = stored_pr[tag] if not ref then -- weird, has to be a /Form and not an /Image so we need a wrap = true key - -- local figure = img.immediatewrite { filename = preview, width = width, height = height } - local figure = img.immediatewrite { stream = ".5 .75 .75 rg 0 0 20 10 re f", bbox = {0,0,20,10 } } + local figure = img.immediatewrite { filename = preview, width = width, height = height } + -- local figure = img.immediatewrite { stream = ".5 .75 .75 rg 0 0 20 10 re f", bbox = {0,0,20,10 } } ref = figure.objnum stored_pr[tag] = ref end - annot.AP = ref and pdfdictionary { N = pdfreference(ref) } + if ref then + local pw = pdfdictionary { + Type = pdfconstant("XObject"), + Subtype = pdfconstant("Form"), + FormType = pdfnumber(1), + BBox = pdfarray { pdfnumber(0), pdfnumber(0), pdfnumber(factor*width), pdfnumber(factor*height) }, + Matrix = pdfarray { pdfnumber(1), pdfnumber(0), pdfnumber(0), pdfnumber(1), pdfnumber(0), pdfnumber(0) }, + Resources = pdfdictionary { + XObject = pdfdictionary { + IM = pdfreference(ref) + } + }, + ExtGState = pdfdictionary { + GS = pdfdictionary { + Type = pdfconstant("ExtGState"), + CA = pdfnumber(1), + ca = pdfnumber(1) + } + }, + ProcSet = pdfarray { pdfconstant("PDF"), pdfconstant("ImageC") }, + } + local pwd = pdf.immediateobj("stream",format("q /GS gs %s 0 0 %s 0 0 cm /IM Do Q",factor*width,factor*height),pw()) + annot.AP = pdfdictionary { N = pdfreference(pwd) } + end return annot, figure, ref else activationdict.A = pdfconstant("PV") Also I try to remind you AGAIN and AGAIN about pdfboolean problem in lpdf-ini.lua (old code is not OK if b is "false" and default is "true") local function pdfboolean(b,default) - if ((type(b) == "boolean") and b) or default then - return p_true + if type(b) ~= "boolean" then + if default then + return p_true + else + return p_false + end else - return p_false + if b then + return p_true + else + return p_false + end end end Sincerely, Michail PS. And a great palliative way to deal with 3D annotations is via attaching a 3D PDF file made with LaTeX (by Asymptote, for example). But while your method of answering my messages in lua works OK for new code (updating minimals and making a diff with old code is not harder than checking e-mail inbox - "Your morning patch, sir!" ;), I can not deduce from existing sea of ConTeXt code the status of file attachments support.
