- PVLIB 1.0 Library Description 6/22/92
- -----------------------------
-
-
- Purpose
- -------
- PVLIB was created to provide a standard set of C library func-
- tions to simplify coding of programs which create scene files for
- DKB Trace and/or POV Trace.
-
-
- Description
- -----------
- The PVLIB library was written in Microsoft C. However the source
- should be straight ANSI C, and you should be able to create the
- library for other compilers with the source provided.
-
-
- Usage
- -----
- Refer to the file PVLIB.REF for data structures and function
- descriptions. No data is passed directly to PVLIB functions,
- data structures are used to provide variables utilized by the
- main program and the PVLIB functions. A sample program is in-
- cluded which (hopefully) illustrates the use of pointers to the
- PVLIB data structures. Also, the PVGEN program (look for
- PVGEN10.ZIP on this BBS) utilizes the PVLIB library, and examina-
- tion of the code might be helpful.
