Name
overlay — Plots the specified UNIX plot_file in the MGED display.
Synopsis
overlay {plot_file} [name]
DESCRIPTION
Plots the specified UNIX plot_file in the MGED display.
Phony object names are created for each part of the plot file that is in a unique color.
The names are created by adding a color to the specified name, or to
_PLOT_OVER if no name is provided. The color suffix is built by converting the
RGB color to a six-digit hex number. Each color corresponds to 2 hex digits, so that
white becomes "ffffff," red becomes "ff0000," green is "00ff00," etc.

Example 1. Plot a UNIX plot file in the MGED display.
mged>overlay plot.upl tmp
Plots the UNIX plot file plot.upl in the MGED display, using tmp as the base for the phony object names.
