rtwizard [options]RTWIZARD(nged)
NAME
rtwizard - launch the RtWizard GUI or render using the rtwizard subprocess
On this page
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The rtwizard command launches the rtwizard rendering application as a subprocess. It automatically passes the current view parameters — including view size, orientation, and eye point — to the subprocess.
When called from MGED, rtwizard runs in --no_gui (non-interactive) mode, using the current session’s view state and the open database. All options are passed through to the rtwizard subprocess unchanged.
If no color, line, or ghost object list is supplied, the objects displayed in
the active view are rendered in full color.
For interactive GUI use of RtWizard, launch the rtwizard application directly from the command line rather than through MGED.

Note
|
rtwizard runs asynchronously. Use rtabort to terminate an active rtwizard subprocess. |
EXAMPLES
Example 1. Launch rtwizard with current view
mged> rtwizard -o output.png
Renders the current view using the rtwizard subprocess and writes the result to output.png.
Example 2. Animate a cutting plane through the current view
mged> rtwizard -o cutaway.apng --cut-steps 30
Produces a 30-frame APNG using the displayed geometry and a cutting plane advancing from the current eye into the model. Use --cut-direction x/y/z to override the view direction.
