NAME

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

KEYWORDS

vector, export, output

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"
