.SH DESCRIPTION |
20 |
.I Genclock |
21 |
produces a RADIANCE scene description of an analog clock showing the |
22 |
given hour. |
23 |
The hour may either be given as |
24 |
.I HH:MM |
25 |
or decimal |
26 |
.I hours. |
27 |
.PP |
28 |
The face of the clock will have a radius of 1.0 units, with the |
29 |
surrounding case 1.1 (2.2 diameter). |
30 |
The origin is at the center of the back, and the face looks in the |
31 |
positive X-direction. |
32 |
The 12 o'clock direction corresponds to the positive Z-axis. |
33 |
(The Y-axis direction is 3 o'clock.)\0 |
34 |
The |
35 |
.I xform(1) |
36 |
command may be used to resize and relocate the clock as desired. |
37 |
.PP |
38 |
Normally, |
39 |
.I genclock |
40 |
produces all of the materials necessary for its own description, but |
41 |
options are provided to specify alternate materials for the face and |
42 |
case. |
43 |
The numbers on the face are in dark lettering, so the face material |
44 |
must be relatively light for them to show up well. |
45 |
By default, the clock is given the name "clock," but this may be |
46 |
changed with the |
47 |
.I \-n |
48 |
option. |
49 |
.SH EXAMPLE |
50 |
To produce a 12 inch diameter clock showing 10:35 |
51 |
and hang it at 60 on a wall facing the Y-direction at Y=10: |
