Name
showtherm — ray-traces a BRL-CAD geometry file and as a region is hit the temperature of that region is looked up in a temperature output file
DESCRIPTIONS
showtherm is an interactive program that ray-traces a BRL-CAD geometry file that does not include air and as a region is hit the temperature is looked up in a temperature output file. This file may be either a PRISM temperature output file or a generic temperature output file.
showtherm then creates an output file that is readable by Analyzer2 (an X-windows program written by Glen Durfee), ir-X, or ir-sgi. These programs will graphically showtherm the image with temperatures being represented by different colors.
EXAMPLE
The following is an example from an interactive session.
$ showtherm test.veh.g vehicle
Type of output file to be read 0=>PRISM, 1=>generic.
0
Enter name of the PRISM output file to be read (26 char max).
veh.prm
Enter the number of regions in the PRISM file, must be more
than eight (not including the background).
18
Enter name of region # & name file to be read (26 char max).
veh.f.rnn
Enter name of output file (26 char max).
veh.dis
Enter the elapsed time to create graphical representation of.
4
Number of regions (including the background): 19
