Hi,
being offline from jscad for a while, I want to explore V2 now, because you added 3D hull lately.
I am slowly exploring V2 possibilities, sorry for any superfluous questions that result from that.
Some time ago (about a year?) I used a V1 environment for my work flow.
The environment used
python design code that creates jscad files with scad like syntax
jscad viewer, to display colored and transparent objects while designing
cli to compile jscad into stl files to be used for 3D printing
The viewer could be started as
desktop app
web browser with a static viewer html file
web server + web browser
stl output and stl viewer
The web server variant is kind of difficult to use in a scripted environment and stl doesn't provide colors and transparency, so I usually used the other two.
I have some questions about the status of V2:
which viewer interfaces are supposed to work?
which do you use yourself for testing new code?
the current viewer only works folder based? [EDIT: a single file works via drag and drop]
I already tried those and only got the web server to work, which doesn't fit well to my work flow (stateless). I guess it should still be possible to create a static viewer.html file (created on the fly by my scripts from a template) that can load and display a design. Any hint would be appreciated.
My V1 viewer template was like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

-->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>%FILE% - jscad v1 viewer</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="%STYLE%" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="%FRAMEWORK%"></script>
<!-- setup display of the errors as required by OpenJSCAD.js -->
<div class="jscad-container" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none;padding:0;margin:0;" >
<div id="header">
<div id="errordiv">ERROR: design could not be created or compiled</div><pre>%FILE%</pre>
</div>
<!-- setup display of the viewer, i.e. canvas -->
<div oncontextmenu="return false;" id="viewerContext" design-url="%FILE%"></div>
<!-- setup display of the status, as required by OpenJSCAD.js -->
<!-- set display: block to display this -->
<div id="tail" style="display: none;">
<div id="statusdiv">STATUS</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
It was derived from the files used in the web server.
What would be an equivalent for V2?
I already tried viewer-minimal.html, viewer-options.html, which didn't show my jscad file (the included example doesn't show up neither),
I also tried to adapt demo.html, but there is no obvious way to specify a file.
note, I hadn't time to dive into source code, yet.
