I am trying to use the sbinteg.c file that is distributed with the Spaceball gizmo. However, the integration file that provides a uniform user and program interface is not finished. If you define EULER to get access to the EULER angle operations, it does not compile. Has anyone out there, or in sgi, or at Spatial Systems have a finished sbinteg.c file ? Also, I want to access the spaceball outside of any graphics operations, now through the input queue. Is there any code to directly read the spaceball io stream directly ? I want to put it in a separate non graphics thread, hence no graphics. What is the native data mode for rotations from the Spaceball ? Are they direction cosines ? Quaternions ? Eventually I would like to make a driver for the Spaceball that would work with the 3space gizmo that is also a lot of fun...
