Name
pictx — combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X
DESCRIPTIONS
pictx is an interactive program that combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X . Ultimately it can read a temperature output file and display the image on the screen without having the user call two different programs.
pictx is designed to be run in an X-windows environment since it does call the program ir-X .
EXAMPLE
The following is an example from an interactive session.
$ pictx
This takes a BRL-CAD mged model with a PRISM
temperature output file and raytrace and/or
display it using X-Windows graphics. Make
your selection.
0 - raytrace & store file
1 - raytrace, store, and showtherm file
2 - showtherm file
1
Enter .g file to be raytraced (15 char max).
test.veh.g
Enter the number of groups to be raytraced.
1
Enter group 0 (25 char max).
