[Radiance-general] saving a view from within rview

[Jack de Valpine]

Hi Ramana,

When you are running rvu/rview there are a range of interactive 
commands. Typing view or v in the window will enter into a "dialog" that 
let you control view parameters. You can try it out and just step 
through the parameters by hitting return, it will not change anything 
unless you type in something. When you get a view set up the way you 
want you can save the setting by typing:

    v my-viewname.vf
    or
    view my-viewname.vf

when you want to use a view that you have saved you would type the 
following:

    l my-viewname.vf
    or
    last my-viewname.vf

Hope this helps it can be a bit confusing early on but it is worth it. 
You may want to learn to check and explore the man pages as well for 
example:
