vwright1

Usage

Overview

In the first form, vwright shifts a RADIANCE view the specified distance to the right, putting out a complete set of view parameters in a single line on the standard output. This utility is most often used to compute a right-eyed view from a left-eye view for stereo imaging.

If no options are specified on the command line, vwright reads a view from its standard input.

The distance given is in world coordinate units. A negative value indicates a shift to the left rather than the right.

The second form substitutes a name prefix in place of the shift distance, and produces constant assignments on the standard output suitable for passing directly to rcalc(1). For a given prefix N, the constant names are as follows:

Nt:	view type ('v'==1,'l'==2,'a'==3,'h'==4,'c'==5,'s'==6)
Npx:	view point x value
Npy:	view point y value
Npz:	view point z value
Ndx:	view direction x value (normalized)
Ndy:	view direction y value (normalized)
Ndz:	view direction z value (normalized)
Nd:	view focal distance
Nux:	view up vector x value (normalized)
Nuy:	view up vector y value (normalized)
Nuz:	view up vector z value (normalized)
Nh:	view horizontal size
Nv:	view vertical size
Ns:	view shift
Nl:	view lift
No:	view fore clipping distance
Na:	view aft clipping distance
Nhx:	derived horizontal image vector x value (normalized)
Nhy:	derived horizontal image vector y value (normalized)
Nhz:	derived horizontal image vector z value (normalized)
Nhn:	derived horizontal image vector multiplier
Nvx:	derived vertical image vector x value (normalized)
Nvy:	derived vertical image vector y value (normalized)
Nvz:	derived vertical image vector z value (normalized)
Nvn:	derived vertical image vector multiplier

Examples

To start rpict(1) on a view .06 meters left of the view in the file "right.vf":

rpict `vwright -.06 < right.vf` scene.oct > right.hdr &

To move the rad(1) view named "left" 2.5 inches to the right and render from there:

rad -v "right `rad -n -s -V -v left examp.rif | vwright 2.5`" examp.rif &

To pass a view to rcalc for conversion to some other view:

rcalc -n -e `vwright orig < orig.vf` -f viewmod.cal -o view.fmt > new.vf
