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
