Welcome to the initial release of the MGF language and parser library. |
| 5 |
|
|
If you have not read it already, you should take a look at the documentation |
| 6 |
|
|
in the troff file "mgfdoc.tr". This can be printed out using the -ms |
| 7 |
|
|
macro package, or by sending the file "mgfdoc.ps" to a PostScript printer. |
| 8 |
|
|
The figures for this document are contained in "figures.ps", which may |
| 9 |
|
|
also be sent to a PostScript printer, or displayed with ghostview (if you |
| 10 |
|
|
have it). |
| 11 |
|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
Most of the source files go directly into the parser library, with |
| 13 |
|
|
the following exceptions: |
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
face2tri.C - C++ converter from polygons to triangles |
| 16 |
greg |
1.2 |
mgf2inv.c - MGF to Inventor converter, complete |
| 17 |
greg |
1.1 |
mgf2rad.c - MGF to Radiance converter, missing some libraries |
| 18 |
|
|
mgfilt.c - MGF to MGF filter, compiled in Makefile |
| 19 |
|
|
rad2mgf.c - Radiance to MGF converter, missing some libraries |
| 20 |
greg |
1.3 |
3ds2mgf.c - 3D-Studio to MGF converter, complete with below |
| 21 |
|
|
optray.[ch] - Triangle smoothing code used by 3ds2mgf |
| 22 |
|
|
vect.[ch] - Vector and matrix code used by 3ds2mgf |
| 23 |

The Makefile creates three useful items: |
| 25 |
greg |
1.1 |
|
| 26 |
|
|
mgfilt - a filter for MGF |
| 27 |
|
|
libmgf.a - the MGF parser library |
| 28 |
greg |
1.2 |
mgf2inv - a translator from MGF to Inventor (or VRML) format |
| 29 |
greg |
1.3 |
3ds2mgf - a translator from 3D-Studio to MGF |
| 30 |

Before you compile, you should probably check to make sure that the |
| 32 |
|
|
compiler and flags you like are included. If you're like me and lack |
| 33 |
|
|
an ANSII-compatible C compiler on your machine, use the -DNOPROTO flag |
| 34 |
|
|
to take out function prototypes and get back K&R compatibility. |
| 35 |

1.3 |
|
| 36 |
|
|
The exception to this is 3ds2mgf, which requires an ANSI-C compiler with |
| 37 |
|
|
prototypes. Because of this requirement, the program must be built |
| 38 |
|
|
explicitly with "make 3ds2mgf". |
