Local Availability

There is a copy of POVRAY version 3 available on the lab machines. You do not have to setup a path in order to access it. But, you do need a path for including POVRAY's header files. Because our jobs are not big ones, a single command line would be good enough. The following is an example:

povray -i$1.pov -o$1.tga +L/usr/local.csl/povray3/include +a +j +v +w640 +h480

After tracing your image, you can use ImageMagick or xv to view your result. If you prefer to use ImageMagick, which is simpler, then issue the following command line:

display  test.tga
where test.tga is the output from running POVRAY. In display, use left-button to bring up a menu or right-button for a short-cut menu.
