OFF2POV(1)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the OFF2POV(1) page — the manual name is off2pov, and the command is literally off2pov - convert OFF files to POV format. That's the name section, short and iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

off2pov [options] input_files

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Convert files in OFF format to POV format for display in POV-ray. If input_files are not given the program reads from standard input. No input files? Standard input it is, bestie. ✨

🎀 Options 🎀

• -h, --help — this help message (run 'off_util -H help' for general help)
• --version — version information
• -v <rad> — radius of vertex spheres, or 'b' to have radius of balls of the maximum size without overlap (default: ball_rad/15)
• -e <rad> — radius of edge cylinders (default: vertex_rad/1.5)
• -V <col> — default vertex colour, in form 'R,G,B,A' (3 or 4 values 0.0-1.0, or 0-255) or hex 'xFFFFFF' (default: 1.0,0.5,0.0)
• -E <col> — default edge colour, in form 'R,G,B,A' (3 or 4 values 0.0-1.0, or 0-255) or hex 'xFFFFFF', 'x' to hide implicit edges (default: 0.8,0.6,0.8)
• -F <col> — default face colour, in form 'R,G,B,A' (3 or 4 values 0.0-1.0, or 0-255) or hex 'xFFFFFF' (default: 0.8,0.9,0.9)
• -x <elms> — hide elements. The element string can include v, e and f to hide vertices, edges and faces
• -n <elms> — show element index number labels. The element string can include v, e and f to label vertices, edges and faces
• -s <syms> — show symmetry elements. The element string can include x - rotation axes, m - mirror planes, r - rotation-reflection planes, a - all elements (same as xmr)
• -m <maps> — a comma separated list of colour maps used to transform colour indexes, a part consisting of letters from v, e, f, selects the element types to apply the map list to (default 'vef').
• -t <disp> — select face parts to display according to winding number from: odd, nonzero (default), positive, negative, no_triangulation (use native polygon display)
• -O <type> — output type, can be: 'a' all in one POV file (default), 's' separate files, 'o' objects only, 't' template only
• -i <fils> — include files (separated by commas) for every POV geometry
• -j <fils> — include files (separated by commas) for the POV scene file
• -J <fils> — include files (separated by commas) containing additional POV objects for the POV scene file
• -o <file> — write output to file (default: write to standard output)

🌈 Scene options 🌈

• -D <dist> — distance to camera
• -C <cent> — centre of points, in form 'X,Y,Z'
• -L <look> — point to look at, in form 'X,Y,Z' (default, points centre)
• -R <rot> — rotate about axes through centre of points, in form 'X-ang,Y-ang,Z-ang' (degrees)
• -B <col> — background colour, in form 'R,G,B,A' (3 or 4 values 0.0-1.0, or 0-255) or hex 'xFFFFFF'
• -P <pers> — narrow the angle of perspective (range 0-100, default: 2, recommend 4 for stereo option -S 1)
• -W — use lighting with shado
• -S <type> — produce stereo output, type is 0 (default) mono, 1 stereo with one image file, 2 stereo with two image files (use the POV-Ray +KFF2 option for output)

🔬 Precision options 🔬

• -d <dgts> — number of significant digits (default 17) or if negative then the number of digits after the decimal point
