_I_R_I_S _S_h_o_w_c_a_s_e is a mixed media presentation system. It's very useful for
creating interactive or printed presentations, short documents, online-
help systems and much more. Showcase allows you to integrate 2D drawings,
text, raster images, 3D models, and audio.
By default, _s_h_o_w_c_a_s_e displays a blank page, the _M_a_s_t_e_r _G_i_z_m_o and the
_S_t_a_t_u_s _G_i_z_m_o. _T_h_e _M_a_s_t_e_r _G_i_z_m_o has a palette of objects that can be
created on the page. These objects include text, 3D scenes, images,
audio, filled and unfilled rectangles, ellipses, circles, arcs, polygons,
splines, and freehand shapes.
For more information please refer to IIIIRRRRIIIISSSS SSSShhhhoooowwwwccccaaaasssseeee UUUUsssseeeerrrr''''ssss GGGGuuuuiiiiddddeeee and the
online help.
The following options apply to _s_h_o_w_c_a_s_e:
----bbbb Run in singlebuffer mode. Useful if you are running on an Entry
Graphics system and wish to start up in Full Color mode.
----ffff Run in the foreground.
----nnnn Run with no borders.
----pppp Write the named file as PostScript. The output goes to stdout. Only
converts one file at a time.
----ssss Display the file in slideshow mode. No gizmos or menus appear.
<Alt>P starts the slide show, <Alt>H halts the show.
----vvvv Read only mode. No gizmos or menus appear. Most user interaction is
ignored with the exception of the page navigation keys. If the user
clicks on an object and that object is linked, the link will be
followed. If the object is an audio object, the audio will be
played. Scrolling text blocks and 3D objects can be manipulated.
----PPPPppppxxxx,,,,ppppyyyy
Set size of the page in points. ppppxxxx and ppppyyyy are the point sizes in x
and y direction. A point is 1/72" and _s_h_o_w_c_a_s_e displays each point
as a pixel. To create a page that is 5" by 4" use ----PPPP333366660000,,,,222288888888. The
default is an 8.5" by 11" page (612 x 792).
----VVVV{{{{NNNNTTTTSSSSCCCC,,,,PPPPAAAALLLL}}}}
Set size of the page to a video format. NNNNTTTTSSSSCCCC is 640 by 480 pixels.
PPPPAAAALLLL is 768 by 576 pixels.

right corner x and y. The default places the window in the lower
