Re: [Closed REQ 5552]: X-Geomview module pssnap trouble

["Stuart Levy" <slevy>]

Sorry about this.  There's a bug in the geomview libraries which can
occasionally cause this kind of trouble -- or frequently cause it, if you have
a hierarchy containing many small objects (like a LIST of many OFFs, as your
error message suggests.)  I'll try to fix this for the next release.

Meanwhile there is a somewhat awkward workaround (short of changing your
own software to consolidate the items directly).  Save the geomview object to
be printed into a disk file, say "old.oogl".  (If you use the Geomview
Save panel, be sure to use one of the "save as geometry" choices, not
"save as commands".)
Run the program "anytooff":
	anytooff old.oogl > new.oogl

Now run geomview on new.oogl, which will contain a single giant OFF
object.  PSSnap should have no trouble reading that.
