PICTX(1)

NAME
pictx - combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X

SYNOPSIS

pictx

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).
    		vehicle
    	The program showtherm is now being run.

    	Prism out file read.
    	Region # & name file opened.
    	The number of regions read from the output file and the region # & name
    	file was the same, 18 (does not include background in number).
    	Building directory.
    	File:  test.veh.g

    		vehicle loaded
    	The number of regions read from the output
    	file, the region # & name file, and the .g
    	file are all equal.  The number of regions
    	read, including the background is 19
    	Preparation started.

    	Center of bounding sphere:  356.500000, 0.000000, 1250.000000
    	Radius of bounding sphere:  3829.551456
    	Enter multiplication factor for radius.
    		.75
    	Enter grid size.
    		512
    	Enter azimuth & elevation.

    	elevation:  25.000000 degrees
    	The program ir-X is now being run.  If option
    	0 or 1 was used when the name of a file is asked
    	for enter the name of the file that was just
    	stored.
