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 |
mgf2inv.c - MGF to Inventor converter, complete |
17 |
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 |
|
21 |
The Makefile creates three useful items: |
22 |
|
23 |
mgfilt - a filter for MGF |
24 |
libmgf.a - the MGF parser library |
25 |
mgf2inv - a translator from MGF to Inventor (or VRML) format |
26 |
|
27 |
Before you compile, you should probably check to make sure that the |
28 |
compiler and flags you like are included. If you're like me and lack |
29 |
an ANSII-compatible C compiler on your machine, use the -DNOPROTO flag |
30 |
to take out function prototypes and get back K&R compatibility. |
