NAME

v.out.pov - Converts GRASS x,y,z points to POV-Ray x,z,y format.

KEYWORDS

vector, export

SYNOPSIS

v.out.pov

v.out.pov --help

v.out.pov input=name [layer=string] [type= string[,string,...]] output=name [size=string] [zmod=string] [objmod=string] [-- overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [-- quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files

--help: Print usage summary

--verbose: Verbose module output

--quiet: Quiet module output

--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

input=name [required]: Name of input vector map

Or data source for direct OGR access

layer=string: Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)

A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.

Default: -1

type=string[,string,...]: Input feature type

Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, area, face, kernel

Default: point,line,area,face

output=name [required]: Name for output POV file

size=string: Radius of sphere for points and tube for lines

May be also variable, e.g. grass_r.

Default: 10

zmod=string: This string is appended to each z coordinate. Examples: ’*10’, ’+1000’, ’*10+100’, ’*exaggeration’

objmod=string: Object modifier (OBJECT_MODIFIER in POV-Ray documentation)

Example: "pigment { color red 0 green 1 blue 0 }"

DESCRIPTION

v.out.pov converts GRASS vector data to POV-Ray format (www.povray.com)

EXAMPLE

v.out.pov input=vector3d output=vector3d.pov objmod="pigment { color red 0 green 1 blue 0 }"

The generated file can be included in an existing .pov file with the following statement:

#include "vector3d.pov"
