Povray Setup

Ideally you will be able to access povray from the command-line preferably the recently released 3.7.0 version.

Povray Documentation

Read about from you installed documentation (/usr/share/doc/povray-3.7/doc/) or similar for your system

Supercad output

For the POVRAY2 three files are created:

  • a output.ini file (edit this to adjust quality)
  • a output.pov file (edit this to adjust camera/texture etc)
  • a data.inc ( this stores the processing geometry which is read into the povray scene of output pov via the macros, my_line and my_triangle.

For the original POVRAY output there is no ini file (you could create your own) and the data is included in output.pov (so sometimes this might give your editor problems, especially with syntax highlighting).
