NAME
objline - create metafile line drawings of RADIANCE object(s)
SYNOPSIS
objline [input ..]
DESCRIPTION
Objline takes one or more RADIANCE scene files and produces four
parallel line projections using calls to rad2mgf(1) and mgf2meta(1).
The output must be redirected to a suitable destination for metafile(5)
2-d graphics, such as x11meta(1) or psmeta(1).
The four projections presented are along the X-axis (displayed in the
upper left quadrant), along the Y-axis (upper right), along the Z-axis
(lower left) and an oblique view (lower right). If multiple RADIANCE
input files are given, they are shown in different colors and line
styles. (Materials are ignored, so materials files are best left
out.) If no input files are given on the command line, the standard
input is read.
EXAMPLES
To create a line drawing of the RADIANCE file "myfile.rad" and display
under X11:
objline myfile.rad | x11meta -r &
To create a line drawing of three objects in different colors and send
to the printer:
objline obj1.rad obj2.rad obj3.rad | psmeta | lpr
To create a line drawing of a room and convert into a 1024x1024
RADIANCE picture:
objline room.rad | meta2tga -x 1024 -y 1024 | ra_t8 -r > drawing.hdr
