NAME

offconv - OFF file conversion utility

SYNOPSIS

offconv [-a][-b][-p][-n] inobj outobj

DESCRIPTION

Offconv converts objects in OFF (Object File Format) from ASCII to binary or vice versa. If no options are given, or if the -a option is specified, inobj is read in and then written as outobj in ASCII format. If the -b option is given, inobj is read in and then written as outobj in binary format. If the -p option is specified, the off file is packed, removing redundant vertices in the geometry list. If the -n option is specified, per polygon normals are computed and added to the output.

BUGS

Inobj can be the same as outobj. However, such usage is not recommended. In the event the process is halted (manually or by a system crash), the original file can be blown away.

Per-vertex colors and per-vertex normals are not packed with the -p option, so it should not be used on objects with per-vertex colors or normals.
