  1. This directory contains test programs and demonstration programs for
  2. the SIPP library. The images here can be divided into two
  3. categories: the mere test images (boring) and the demonstrations
  4. images (impressive).
  5.  
  6. All the testprograms takes the following switches:
  7.  
  8.         -p      Render with PHONG shading.
  9.         -g      Render with GOURAUD shading.
  10.         -f      Render with FLAT shading.
  11.         -l      Render a LINE image.
  12.         -s n    Make the image (n X n) pixels big.
  13.  
  14. If no switches are given, the default is to render a (256 X 256) pixels
  15. big image with PHONG shading. Note that if "-l" is used, the resulting
  16. image will be a bitmap and have ".pbm" as extension instead of ".ppm".
