💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the cat page from BRL-CAD MGED Commands, filed under CAT(nged). The cat command shows a brief description of each item in the list of objects. Slay. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cat {objects}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

cat displays a brief description of each item in the list of objects. It’s literally giving “tell me about these objects” energy. 💅

  • If the item is a primitive shape, it displays the type of shape and its vertex.
  • If the item is a combination, it displays the Boolean formula for that combination — including operands, operators, and parentheses. No cap, all the parentheses stay. 😭
  • If the combination is flagged as a region, then that fact is also displayed, along with the region’s ident code, air code, los, and GIFT material code. Periodt. 👑

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

The example shows the use of the cat command to display Boolean formulas for two regions. 🫶

⭐ Example 1. Displaying Boolean formulas for two regions.

           mged> cat region_1 region_2
               Displays the Boolean formulas for region_1 and region_2.
