Q1. CGVIEW is quite slow on some PC. How should I do?
A1.
OpenGL looks like quite slow on Intel graphic driver.
Response will become reasonably quick by the following method.
Please try.
Disable accelerator function from windows flag.
1) Right click on desctop where there is no icon.
2) Select "Property" from the menu.
3) Select "setting" tab in display property window.
4) Click "detailed setting" (Windows XP) / "detail" (Windows 2000).
5) Select "Trouble shooting" tab in the window.
6) Move "Hard accelerator" tab in Hard Accelerator toward left end (=none)
or the second from the left end.
Q2. How do I know that graphic boad in made by intel?
A2.
1) Right click on desctop where there is no icon.
2) Select "Property" from the menu.
3) Select "Setting" tabb in "Property of dispaly" window.
Name of graphic board is shown under "display".
Q3. Is it possible to display pict file before 2006 July using
cgview 2.0.0?
A3. It will be displayed without any problem.
Q4. I created pict file using user code distributed in 2006 August.
The pict file could not be displayed by previous version of cgvew
(1.3.2). How should I do?
A4. Please update CGVIEW toward version 2.0.0.
Q5. I could not install cgview to linux. (2006-09-13)
A5. Please follow "installation" section of the manual.
The procedure has two ways depending on wheter your account has root.
Alternative way to handle library file is as follows;
o Copy the libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so to "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" (ex,
/usr/lib/gcc3.4.4/lib ) and creat a link to libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so.
Q6. Does CGVIEW run on Intel MAC? (2006-12-21)
A6. Please install Parallels Desktop for Mac(*1) to intel MAC.
Then Cgview windows version runs on intel MAC.
*1 Two versions are available.
a) Experience version. Free. Limited for 1 month.
b) Normal version. $79.99
Q7. Why does Linux version of cgview not run on Suse 9.1?
A7. Please try from acount which have Root capability.
Operation of cgview depends on the directory of cgview and access permission
to that directory. Please see A5 also.
Q8. How do I execute egs5 interactively from cgview?
A8. From cgview, File -> Open DOS window. Then, please execute cygwin.bat
from DOS window. DOS window is changed as cygwin window, and you can run egs5.
To execute cygwin.bat,please specify this file with directory name of cgview.
For example, please type in as
C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat.
Q9. cgview halted with a message of "swap buffer=halt".
A9. This happens when graphic accelerator=5. Please modify this as 2 or 3.
Also, please look at A1 for graphic accelerator.
Q10. Runs on Netbook?
On some netbook (MSI@Wind Netbook@U100 Vogue), No.
But runs on the same machine after some PDF related software (Ikinari PDF Professional 3 sold by Source Next Co.)
Q11. Does not run on 64 bit linux.
A11. We do not follow new version of linux. When Cgview does not run on your linux machine, please run cgview on
your windows machine, instead. If these machines are different in hardware, please share disk by using Samba. (2012.10.29)
Q12. Runs on Windows 7?
A12. Yes. Runs on both 64 bit and 32 bit. (2012.10.29)
Q13. On which OS, Cgview-3.0.0 run?
A12. Win 7 and later. MacOS user can run cgview-3.0.0 through windows emulator.
Q14. Number of cell is limitted in geometry set up window of Cgview-3.0.0. This is inefficient to use.
A14. By maximize geometry set up window, it is possible to increase number of cells.
If cells appears only half of geometry set up window, font size of PC display may affect it. If font size is changed from standard (100%) to other size, please return it to
standard size.
Q15. In Cgview 3.0.0, number of Body, number of Zone, number of body in Zone were extended.
Are there any necessary modification in EGS5-CG to correspond to this? (2016-09-14)
A15. Please modify following paramter in geom_common.f.
MAX_BODY Number of Body in Zone (including OR) Currently 100
--------------------------
MAX_ZONE Maximum number of Zone. Currently 500
MAX_GEOM Maximum number of Body in total. Currently 200
------------------
MAX_RPP etc; Maximum number of Body of coresponding shape. Currently 200
MAX_IZN To be set as the same value as MAX_BODY. Currently 200
Q16. Are there any possibility that CG input is properly read in and dsiplayed by CGVIEW and produce error in EGS5-CG
due to the length of line of CG input? (2016-09-15)
A16. Yes.
Please change line so that line length is less or equal to 250 column and continue lines by placing 5 empty columns in the beginging of the
continue line. Head of 1 region is judged by a letter of "Z" in the begining.
Please confirm that any line of CG input was read in properly by looking at output of EGS5-CG for input confirmation.
Also, CG input which contains long line can be converted to input file within 80 columns by outpuit using CGVIEW.
Please be careful for overwriting the input file.
Q17. Are there any modification is necessary for setting of CGVIEW to treat complex geometry? (2016-09-27)
A17. Maxmum number of Body in Zone is defined by the value of variable named "Max_Body" in CGVIEW.ini and
its initial value is 100. Please modify it when necessary.
If the value is too large, start up time may be extended or error may occur when start up.
Q18. How do I change Japanese or English mode?
A18. Please change following lines of cgview.exe.config as follows,
1) For English Version
2) For Japanese Version
Then, please run cgview.exe. Depending on the contents of gview.exe.config, cgview runs in Japanese or English mode respectively.
Please read "How to switch language between English/Japanese" for detail.
