Macbook (m1pro) display issues

[Jay Sun]

Hi，I installed pychrono on the MacBook, ran the demo, found two problems, the first is the demo running window is like this. The second is that there seems to be no sensor module, so the sensor library cannot be run.

Looking forward to your reply!  Thanks so much!!!

Regard,

Jay

Hi Jay,

 

Both of these are MacOS issues, not Chrono.

• The Irrlicht rendering in only a quarter of the window is a known issue. See for example: https://irrlicht.sourceforge.io/forum/viewtopic.php?p=305617.  Having said that, it is not clear where the “fix” mentioned there went. Apparently not in the Irrlicht 1.8.5 package available for MacOS.  For C++ Chrono applications using Irrlicht, we have a work around for this problem: use the run_app.sh script. No such workaround is possible for PyChrono demos.
• The Chrono::Sensor module uses the OptiX library and as such requires an Nvidia GPU. Not available on the Mac anymore.
