/** @file rt/rtexample.c
 +
*
 +
* This is a heavily commented example of a program that uses librt to
 +
* shoot a single ray at some geometry in a .g database.
 +
*
 +
* The primary BRL-CAD ray-tracing API consists of calls to the
 +
* function rt_shootray().  This function takes a single argument, the
 +
* address of a data structure called the "application" structure.
 +
* This data structure contains crucial information, such as the
 +
* origin and direction of the ray to be traced, what to do if the ray
 +
* hits geometry, or what to do if it misses everything.  While the
 +
* application struct is a large and somewhat complex looking, (it is
 +
* defined in the raytrace.h header) there are really very few items
 +
* in it which the application programmer must know about. These are:
 +
*
 +
*  a_rt_i The "raytrace instance" obtained via rt_dirbuild()
 +
*  a_ray The ray origin and direction to be shot
 +
*  a_hit A callback function for when the ray encounters geometry
 +
*  a_miss A callback function for when the ray misses everything
 +
*
 +
* Most of the work an application performs will be done in the "hit"
 +
* routine.  This user-supplied routine gets called deep inside the
 +
* raytracing library via the rt_shootray() function.  It is provided
 +
* with 3 parameters:
 +
*
 +
*  ap Pointer to the application structure passed to rt_shootray()
 +
*  PartHeadp List of ray "partitions" which represent geometry hit
 +
*  segp List of ray "segments" that comprised partitions
 +
*
 +
* Most applications can ignore the last parameter.  The PartHeadp
 +
* parameter is a linked-list of "partition" structures (defined in
 +
* the raytrace.h header).  It is the job of the "hit" routine to
 +
* process these ray/object intersections to do the work of the
 +
* application.
 +
*
 +
* This file is part of the default compile in source distributions of
 +
* BRL-CAD and is usually installed or provided via binary and source
 +
* distributions.  To compile this example from a binary install:
 
  *
 
  *
  * A trivial example of a program that uses librt.  With comments.

/** @file rt/rtexample.c

*
* This is a heavily commented example of a program that uses librt to
* shoot a single ray at some geometry in a .g database.
*
* The primary BRL-CAD ray-tracing API consists of calls to the
* function rt_shootray().  This function takes a single argument, the
* address of a data structure called the "application" structure.
* This data structure contains crucial information, such as the
* origin and direction of the ray to be traced, what to do if the ray
* hits geometry, or what to do if it misses everything.  While the
* application struct is a large and somewhat complex looking, (it is
* defined in the raytrace.h header) there are really very few items
* in it which the application programmer must know about. These are:
*
*   a_rt_i	The "raytrace instance" obtained via rt_dirbuild()
*   a_ray	The ray origin and direction to be shot
*   a_hit	A callback function for when the ray encounters geometry
*   a_miss	A callback function for when the ray misses everything
*
* Most of the work an application performs will be done in the "hit"
* routine.  This user-supplied routine gets called deep inside the
* raytracing library via the rt_shootray() function.  It is provided
* with 3 parameters:
*
*   ap		Pointer to the application structure passed to rt_shootray()
*   PartHeadp	List of ray "partitions" which represent geometry hit
*   segp	List of ray "segments" that comprised partitions
*
* Most applications can ignore the last parameter.  The PartHeadp
* parameter is a linked-list of "partition" structures (defined in
* the raytrace.h header).  It is the job of the "hit" routine to
* process these ray/object intersections to do the work of the
* application.
*
* This file is part of the default compile in source distributions of
* BRL-CAD and is usually installed or provided via binary and source
* distributions.  To compile this example from a binary install:
*
* cc -I/usr/brlcad/include/brlcad -L/usr/brlcad/lib -o rtexample rtexample.c -lbu -lrt -lm
