Hello Everyone!
The 2006 Christmas project is a moonlit field of snow with gently
falling snowflakes. The snowflakes are actual images of snowflakes
mapped onto polygons. The falling/rotating motion of each snowflake is
controlled using Rick Towler's quaternion object and the entire view is
his camera object. For IDL6.3 and up users each snowflake's motion is
controlled by a separate IDL_bridge object that calculates the position
and rotation in the background.
The snowfall.zip file can be downloaded at
http://www.kilvarock.com/freesoftware/objects/objects.htm
Just extract the files somewhere in the IDL path and type snowfall at
the IDL prompt. Feel free to pass it around for others to enjoy.
Thanks Again and Merry Christmas!

And I get a mess of
% Program caused arithmetic error: Floating underflow
followed by:
% IDL_IDLBRIDGE Error: Unable to set Win32 event object
% Execution halted at: SNOWFLAKE::INIT 96
/Applications/rsi/idl_6.3/lib/snowfall/snowflake__define.pro
% OBJ_NEW
% SNOWFALL::INIT 113
/Applications/rsi/idl_6.3/lib/snowfall/snowfall.pro
% OBJ_NEW
% SNOWFALL 171
/Applications/rsi/idl_6.3/lib/snowfall/snowfall.pro
% $MAIN$
If I .reset the session, or if I compile and resolve_all, it crashes
with:
% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.
% Execution halted at: SNOWFLAKE::INIT 94
/Applications/rsi/idl_6.3/lib/snowfall/snowflake__define.pro

Oh well, Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Ron
first time I can't watch a marvelous card greetings program because of
an platform dependend rsi idl bug or isn't it?
% OBJ_NEW: Dynamically loadable module is unavailable on this platform:
IDL_IDLBRIDGE
I whish you all the best for 07 and Merry Christmas!
cheers
