MGED CMD in
[edit] Syntax
- in [-f] [-s] new_shape_name shape_type <parameters>
[edit] Argument(s)
- -f
- Optional. Does not draw solid.
- -s
- Optional. Send solid to Solid Edit Mode after creation.
- new_shape_name
- Name for new shape.
- shape_type
- Valid Shape Type
- <Parameters>
- Parameters required for defining new shape.
[edit] Return Value(s)
- No Return Values for this command.
[edit] Description
The "in" command allows the user to type in the arguments needed to create a shape with the name new_shape_name of the type shape_type. The command may be invoked with no arguments, and it will prompt the user for all needed information. The -s option will invoke the primitive edit mode on the new shape immediately after creation. The -f option does not draw the new shape, and therefore the -s option may not be used in conjunction with -f. The possible values for shape_type are:
- arb8 -- ARB (eight vertices).
- arb7 -- ARB (seven vertices).
- arb6 -- ARB (six vertices).
- arb5 -- ARB (five vertices).
- arb4 -- ARB (four vertices).
- arbn -- Arbitrary polyhedron with arbitrary number of vertices (plane equations).
- bot -- Bag of Triangles.
- dsp -- Displacement Map.
- pipe -- Pipe (run of connected pipe or wire).
- ebm --Extruded Bit Map.
- vol --Voxels.
- hf -- Height Field deprecated, see dsp.
- ars -- Arbitrary Faceted Solid.
- half -- Half Space.
- sph -- Ellipsoid (center and radius).
- ell -- Ellipsoid (center and three semi-axes).
- ellg -- Ellipsoid (foci and chord length).
- ell1 -- Ellipsoid (center, one semi-axis, and a radius of revolution).
- tor -- Torus.
- tgc -- Truncated General Cone (most general TGC).
- tec -- Truncated General Cone (top radii are scaled from base radii).
- rec -- Truncated General Cone (right elliptical cylinder).
- trc -- Truncated General Cone (truncated right circular cone).
- rcc -- Truncated General Cone (right circular cylinder).
- box -- ARB (vertex and three vectors).
- raw -- ARB (right angle wedge).
- rpp -- ARB (axis aligned rectangular parallelepiped).
- rpc -- Right Parabolic Cylinder.
- rhc -- Right Hyperbolic Cylinder.
- epa -- Elliptical Paraboloid.
- ehy -- Elliptical Hyperboloid.
- eto -- Elliptical Torus.
- part -- Particle.
[edit] Example(s)
- mged> in new1 raw 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0
- Create an ARB named new1 in the form of a right angle wedge.
