added to the picture file name along with the standard ".pic" suffix. |

|
The standard views are specified by strings of the form |
| 587 |
< |
"[Xx]?[Yy]?[Zz]?[vlahc]?". |
| 587 |
> |
"[Xx]?[Yy]?[Zz]?[vlahsc]?". |

|
(That is, an optional upper or lower case X followed by an optional |
| 589 |
|
upper or lower case Y followed by an optional upper or lower case Z |
| 590 |
< |
followed by an optional lower case V, L, A, H or C.) |
| 590 |
> |
followed by an optional lower case view type.) |
| 591 |
|
The letters indicate the desired view position, where upper case "X" |
| 592 |
|
means maximum X, lower case "y" means minimum Y and so on. |
| 593 |
|
The final letter is the view type, where 'v' is perspective (the |
| 594 |
|
default), 'l' is parallel, 'a' is angular fisheye, 'h' is |
| 595 |
< |
hemispherical fisheye and 'c' is for cylindrical panorama. |
| 596 |
< |
A perspective view from maximum X, minimum Y would be "Xy" or |
| 597 |
< |
"Xyv". |
| 595 |
> |
hemispherical fisheye, 's' is for planisphere (stereographic) fisheye, |
| 596 |
> |
and 'c' is for cylindrical panorama. |
| 597 |
> |
A perspective view from maximum X, minimum Y would be "Xy" or "Xyv". |
| 598 |
|
A parallel view from maximum Z would be "Zl". |
| 599 |
|
If "ZONE" is an interior zone, the standard views will |
| 600 |
|
be inside the perimeter. |

|
Consult the rpict(1) manual page for a full description of the various |
| 634 |
|
view options, all of which begin with "-v". |
| 635 |
|
Just briefly, the "-vt?" option sets the view type, where "?" is |
| 636 |
< |
replaced by one of the letters "v, l, a, h or c", corresponding to |
| 636 |
> |
replaced by one of the letters "v, l, a, h, s or c", corresponding to |
| 637 |
|
perspective, parallel, angular fisheye, hemispherical fisheye |
| 638 |
|
and cylindrical panorama, respectively. |
| 639 |
|
The "-vp x y z" option sets the view position (eyepoint), where "x y z" |
| 1142 |
|
|
| 1143 |
|
The batch rendering view menu also selects the view or views |
| 1144 |
|
to use in producing a script during a dry run. |

|
| 1148 |
+ |
The "Number of processes" slider controls how many independent |
| 1149 |
+ |
processes are initiated by the "rvu" and "Start" buttons above |
| 1150 |
+ |
and below. |
| 1151 |
+ |
This should be set no greater than the number of virtual cores |
| 1152 |
+ |
on your system. |
| 1153 |
+ |
|
| 1154 |
+ |
For interactive rendering, the "new" command within rvu may |
| 1155 |
+ |
be used to change the number of processes running. |
| 1156 |
+ |
|
| 1157 |
+ |
For rendering in the background, the number of processes will |
| 1158 |
+ |
never be greater than the number of views if all views are |
| 1159 |
+ |
being rendered. |
| 1160 |
+ |
If only a single view is selected for rendering, rad |
| 1161 |
+ |
will call rpiece to render it in tiles using the given |
| 1162 |
+ |
number of processes. |
