💅 VQUERY_RAY (nged) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the nged girlies club — this is <pink>vquery_ray</pink>, straight out of the BRL-CAD MGED Commands lineup, and honestly? she's giving "small command, big main character energy." 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

vquery_ray — takes your x and y, treats them like view coordinates (think <yellow>±2047</yellow>, yeah that scale), and converts them to model coordinates (local units) using a value of 2047 for view z before handing them off to nirt. literally the middlewoman of your ray-shooting dreams 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vquery_ray {x y}

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. two numbers, no cap. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: vquery_ray interprets x and y as view coordinates — like, the <yellow>±2047</yellow> kind — and converts them into model coordinates (local units) using a value of 2047 for view z. then it passes them right along to nirt. 🧚

that's the entire glow-up. no hidden lore, no secret flags, no plot twists. she does one thing and she does it slayfully. 👑
