RRT(nged)

🦋 RRT(nged) — the glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so this is a BRL-CAD User Command called rrt, and honestly it's giving "personal assistant for your other programs" 💅

---

🌸 NAME

rrt — runs whatever program you point it at with the options you hand it, and automagically tacks the current database name plus the list of currently displayed objects onto the command line. no cap. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

rrt {program} [options]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

So here's the tea ☕ — rrt executes the program you specify with the options you provide, and then it also slips the current database name and the list of currently displayed objects onto the command line. Basically it's out here executing:

program options database_name objects.

periodt. 💅

But wait, there's more — rrt also feeds the current MGED viewing parameters to that program on standard input. iconic. 🧚

A lot of BRL-CAD programs use the -M option to signal "hey, viewing parameters are coming in on standard input," so keep that in mind. iykyk.

You can straight-up simulate the rt command with rrt like this:

rrt /usr/brlcad/bin/rt -M -s50

…which works provided that perspective is not currently being used. ⚠️ lowkey important, don't skip that part.

And honestly? Any executable routine may be run using rrt. any of them. go wild. 🎉 However — and this is the main character caveat — it will always be run with the provided options followed by the current database name and the list of currently displayed objects. no exceptions, fr fr. 🔥

🎀 EXAMPLES

This example shows the use of the rrt command to execute the specified program and list the current database name and currently displayed objects. chef's kiss. 👑

⭐ Example 1. Execute a specified program and list the current database name and currently displayed objects.

Lists the current database name and currently displayed objects. that's it, that's the whole slay. 💜
