Radiance objline program

OBJLINE(1)                                                          OBJLINE(1)

NAME

       objline - create metafile line drawings of RADIANCE object(s)

SYNOPSIS

       objline [input ..]

DESCRIPTION

       Objline takes one or more RADIANCE scene files and produces four paral-
       lel line projections using calls to rad2mgf(1)  and  mgf2meta(1).   The
       output must be redirected to a suitable destination for metafile(5) 2-d
       graphics, such as x11meta(1) or psmeta(1).

       The four projections presented are along the X-axis (displayed  in  the
       upper  left quadrant), along the Y-axis (upper right), along the Z-axis
       (lower left) and an oblique view (lower right).  If  multiple  RADIANCE
       input  files  are  given,  they  are shown in different colors and line
       styles.  (Materials are ignored,  so  materials  files  are  best  left
       out.)   If  no  input files are given on the command line, the standard
       input is read.

EXAMPLES

       To create a line drawing of the RADIANCE file "myfile.rad" and  display
       under X11:

         objline myfile.rad | x11meta -r &

       To  create a line drawing of three objects in different colors and send
       to the printer:

         objline obj1.rad obj2.rad obj3.rad | psmeta | lpr

       To create a line drawing of a room and convert into a  1024x1024  RADI-
       ANCE picture:

         objline room.rad | meta2tga -x 1024 -y 1024 | ra_t8 -r > drawing.hdr
