Paul,

For the first article we used, it's best to view that in a modern
browser (which I wasn't using at the time). Depending on your
browser, some of decorations render better in a good browser.

I have *no* idea why you are bringing that up. Really. No idea.

Maybe don't post OT stuff in an inappropriate forum, then. There must be
plenty of places where you can ask on-topic questions about openGL or
graphics matrix manipulations. Like stackoverflow.

Chris,

I didn't. I posted in a few newsgroups.

Its always remarkable that people complain, but somehow "forget" to supply a better way to do something. In this case, a better newsgroup.

about openGL or graphics matrix manipulations.

You have not understood the question. Although I've mentioned using
OpenGL, its absolutily not specific to it.

Like stackoverflow.

I rather dislike making one-off accounts.

But now you mention SO, while googleling for the answer (before even
thinking of posting a question here) I got a number of links to webpages presumably having to do something with my question.

But as I wrote to Paul, I first need to know where the coordinates are at.
SO and so many others didn't.

After that I would have liked a (possible) explanation of what really makes them different - beyond what I already mentioned that is.

Complaining is easy. Trying to answer a question is a lot harder.

And by the way : Answers on SO and most like it are often rather language-specific. *C{something}* language specific even. Guess what : I'm not using C{something}.

Rudy Wieser

None of which are on-topic. You knew this hence your [OT?] subject.

It's not for me to do your job for you, given this is not a topic I'm particularly familiar with. If you can't be bothered to identify the most appropriate ng, why should anyone else?

Well then, don't complain when you don't get the best answers.

But now you mention SO, while googleling for the answer (before even thinking of posting a question here) I got a number of links to webpages presumably having to do something with my question.

Correct. That's how google works.

But as I wrote to Paul, I first need to know where the coordinates are at. SO and so many others didn't.

Apparently, writing an on-topic post is hardest of all.

And? Improve your search criteria.

This sounds ideal for a chatgpt or claude conversation. It's actually very
good for helping on technical topics when you're not quite sure how to
frame the question. Look at Ollama if you don't want to create an account. Although, claude might not need one iirc.

When you've got the right framing you can't double check the answer with a google search.

Chris,

:-) Tell me, what does a question-mark normally signify ?

So no, I did-and-do not know. And your attempt to make it sound that I did know is not appreciated. Bluntly said: malicious intent is suspected.

must be plenty of places where you can ask on-topic questions

Brilliant ! The good old "there must be" claim.

It's not for me to do your job for you,

Correct. But you claim you know better than me. Its yours to prove.

If you can't be bothered to identify the most appropriate ng,

I already did. You have no idea on which grounds that I made my choices -
and you obviously don't care - but complain nonetheless. iow, all you're doing is sputtering "I don't want that here, sod off with it".

why should anyone else?

:-) Kiddo, you could get me outof your hair by telling me what you think is
a better ng to post my question in. I would take that as a damn good reason for it.

Well then, don't complain when you don't get the best answers.

Ah yes, the old "the thing you do not want to do is the *only* thing that could give you your answer" claim - supported by - again - absolutily
nothing. Stick it kid.

Complaining is easy. Trying to answer a question is a lot harder.

Apparently, writing an on-topic post is hardest of all.

:-) Kiddo, I *made* the topic. It *cannot* be off-topic with itself.

And? Improve your search criteria.

:-) Kiddo, again : you have no idea what I tried and obviously don't care, but won't let that stop you from complaining.

Helping someone finding an answer or even just improve himself ? Ah, no. Your only "addition" to this topic is to complain. Everything else is not your concern.

This sounds ideal for a chatgpt or claude conversation. It's actually very good for helping on technical topics when you're not quite sure how to
frame the question.

:-) You still have not understood what I was-and-am asking, do you ?

What is the chance that my question is the absolute best it could be (and understood by the majority here), but its your understanding that is lacking
? Why don't you put my question thru one-or-more of those AIs and see if
you like their phrasing better.

Besides, you, again, have no idea if I did not already put my question thru one-or-more of those AIs, and could not care less. All you want to do is to complain, an complain you shall. :-)

Rudy Wieser
