34 greg 1.1 .SH DESCRIPTION
35     .I Objview
36     renders a RADIANCE object interactively using
37     .I rad(1)
38     or
39     .I glrad(1).
40     This program is merely a shell script that adds some light
41     sources to a scene then calls
42     .I rad(1)
43     or
44     .I glrad(1)
45     to make an octree and view the scene interactively.
46     .PP
47     If the default up vector (+Z) is inappropriate
48     for this object, then specify a different one using the
49     .I \-u
50     option to
51     .I objview.
52     .PP
53     Any number of material and scene files may be given,
54     but no in-line commands or standard input.
55 greg 1.4 .PP
56     There is also a Ruby version of objview (objview.rb)
57     available, primarily for Windows compatibility, but
58     the Ruby version also adds a luminaire viewer option.
59     .PP
60     If the user specifies the -l option, then a Radiance
61     luminaire description is the input to the program.
62     objview.rb will place the centroid of the luminiare at 0,0,0
63     and surround the distribution with a room that is 4' square
64     (in meters), with a view along the positive y. Scale the
65     room size with the -r option.
66     .PP
67     The number of processors to use may be specified with the
68     -n option.
