Name
euclid-g — EUCLID Translator (EUCLID to BRL-CAD)
DESCRIPTION
euclid-g converts the specified euclid_file to a BRL-CAD database.g file. The euclid_file is expected to be an ASCII file format that is the "decoded" version of the Euclid file. The decoded file represents each object as a series of polygonal faces. Each face may be one of either a simple face (no holes), a complex face (contains at least one hole), or a simple hole. This converter creates a region for each object ID number by unioning together all the objects with the same ID number.
The following options are recognized:
-d tolerance

-v
turns on verbose mode, for debugging; its output is to standard error
-i euclid_file_name

-o filename.g
