# objview(1)

view RADIANCE object(s)

## NAME

objview - view RADIANCE object(s)

## SYNOPSIS

**objview** \[ **-u updirection** \]\[ rad options \] input ..\
 **objview** \[ **-g** \]\[ **-u updirection** \]\[ glrad options \] input ..

## DESCRIPTION

*Objview* renders a RADIANCE object interactively using *[rad(1)](/rad/1.md)* or *[glrad(1)](/glrad/1.md).* This program is merely a shell script that adds some light sources to a scene then calls *[rad(1)](/rad/1.md)* or *[glrad(1)](/glrad/1.md)* to make an octree and view the scene interactively.

If the default up vector (+Z) is inappropriate for this object, then specify a different one using the *-u* option to *objview.*

Any number of material and scene files may be given, but no in-line commands or standard input.
