NAME

       ifrit - a powerful tool that can be used to visualize 3-dimensional data sets

SYNOPSIS

       ifrit [qt-options] [options] [dir_name]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the  ifrit  command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

OPTIONS

       -8     accepts an 8-bit display

       -d     starts IFRIT with all windows docked together into a single window.

       -nf    does not show the splash screen at start-up

       -sw    uses small font to reduce the QT window size

       -rw    IFRIT is being used remotely.  This option can be  used  to  minimize  re-drawing  of  the  widget
              windows.

       -ni    IFRIT  is  not  idiosyncratic.   This  prompts IFRIT not to ask for a confirmation when exiting or
              running scripts.

       -np number
              sets the number of processors to use.  Note  that  only  some  parts  of  IFRIT  support  parallel
              execution so far.

       -i file_name
              loads the state from the previously saved state file filename.

       -b file_name
              runs IFRIT in batch mode, taking animation script from the file filename.  If filename starts with
              sign "+", standard directories (see ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ) will be prepended to the file name.

       -h -help
              show the list of available command-line options.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       IFRIT understands the following environment variables (all in capitals):

       IFRIT_DIR
              The main IFRIT directory where you keep the variable file ifrit.nam and options file(s) ifrit.ini.
              If this variable is not set, IFRIT assumes that current directory is the main directory.

       IFRIT_DATA_DIR:
              The  default  directory  for  the  data files. If not set, IFRIT will start searching for the data
              files in the current directory.

       IFRIT_MESH_DATA_DIR
              The default directory for the mesh data files. If not set, IFRIT will start searching for the mesh
              data in the default data directory.

       IFRIT_PART_DATA_DIR
              The  default directory for the particle data files. If not set, IFRIT will start searching for the
              particle data in the default data directory.

       IFRIT_VECT_DATA_DIR
              The default directory for the vector field data files. If not set, IFRIT will start searching  for
              the vector field data in the default data directory.

       IFRIT_TENS_DATA_DIR
              The  default directory for the tensor field data files. If not set, IFRIT will start searching for
              the tensor field data in the default data directory.

       IFRIT_IMAGE_DIR
              The directory where IFRIT will place image and animation files. If not set, IFRIT will  put  image
              files into the current directory.

       IFRIT_SCRIPT_DIR
              The  directory  where  IFRIT will place animation scripts. If not set, IFRIT will put scripts into
              its main directory.

       IFRIT_PALETTE_DIR
              The directory where IFRIT will place custom palettes. If not set, IFRIT will put palettes into its
              main directory.
