- !POVRun3
- ==============
- v 1.03 16/3/97
-
- This utility provides a Wimp front-end for the POVray executable,
- enabling a number of files to be traced. It requires the POV files
- available from
-
- http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/leenoar or argonet ftp in
- /pub/Acorn/PD/graphics/POVRay3.zip
-
- and the Toolbox modules, also available from argonet ftp
-
-
- Clicking on the icon bar icon opens the control window. The upper
- section will list the files to be traced. Dragging a text file,
- a POVscene (type &376) or a directory containing any of these will
- add them to the display.
-
- Files listed can be selected or added to the selection with adjust
- while MENU allows you to remove the selected files from the list.
-
- The size and quality of the output files are set in the lower part of the
- window. The files will be saved in a directory tga or ppm, in the same
- directory as the source file (so you must ensure there is room to create
- this directory if it does not already exist).
-
- A menu gives access to all the available ini settings, or a blank option
- to use none of these. The variable POV$Ini may be set in the !Run
- file to determine the default setting.
-
- A writeable icon is set up with sensible default values which can be edited
- if desired. Typing a ? in this icon restores the default.
-
- If there is more than a single file, 'Trace' generates an obey file in
- the Scrap directory, and then executes it, while a single file will be
- traced immediately. The obey file can be viewed or deleted from the
- iconbar menu.
-
- The tracing can be executed in single- or multi-tasking modes. If
- multi-tasking, output from POV appears in a report window, which may be
- closed if desired and re-opened with Adjust on the icon-bar icon.
-
- The icon-bar menu also gives access to the directory of include files and
- to the POV3 documentation.
-
- This program IS NOT supported by the POV team.
