NAME

readwrite - Convert Imagine files to/from ASCII text  

SYNOPSIS

readwrite [options] [input_file] [output_file]  

DESCRIPTION

ReadWrite will read either Imagine object files in their binary (TDDD) or ASCII (TTDDD) formats, or will read an Imagine staging file. ReadWrite will output any of the above as well.

By default, all Turbo Silver "EXTR" objects are read in and "internalized" so that Imagine can use them, since Imagine does not support "external" objects.

When extracting a frame from a staging file, all objects described in that frame must be accessible for reading in to create the new Imagine output file.  

OPTIONS

-tddd

Output a binary TDDD file, ready for input into Imagine.
-merge

Optimize the points and edges of all objects by removing reduncancies (i.e. identical points and edges).
-frame
#
Extract information from the input staging file about the scene described in frame number "#" and output an Imagine object containing all of the contents of the described frame.
-v|-V

Verbose. Show information such as unknown IFF chunks.
