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
