PICTX(1)

NAME
pictx - combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X

SYNOPSIS
pictx

DESCRIPTIONS
Pictx is an interactive program that combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X. Ultimately it can read a temperature output file and display the image on the screen without having the user call two different programs.

Pictx is designed to be run in an X-windows environment since it does call the program ir-X.

EXAMPLE
The following is an example from an interactive session.
	$ pictx
	This takes a BRL-CAD mged model with a PRISM
	temperature output file and raytrace and/or
	display it using X-Windows graphics.  Make
	your selection.
		0 - raytrace & store file
		1 - raytrace, store, and showtherm file
		2 - showtherm file
	1
	Enter .g file to be raytraced (15 char max).
		test.veh.g
	Enter the number of groups to be raytraced.
		1
	Enter group 0 (25 char max).
		vehicle
	The program showtherm is now being run.
	Type of output file to be read 0=>PRISM, 1=>generic.
		0
	Enter name of the PRISM output file to be read (26 char max).
		veh.prm
	Enter the number of regions in the PRISM file, must be more
	than eight (not including the background).
		18
	Enter name of region # & name file to be read (26 char max).
		veh.f.rnn
	Enter name of output file (26 char max).
		veh.dis
	Enter the elapsed time to create graphical representation of.

	Number of regions (including the background):  19
	7/19/1984 7.000000:0.000000
	Prism out file read.
	Region # & name file opened.
	The number of regions read from the output file and the region # & name
	file was the same, 18 (does not include background in number).
	Building directory.
	File:  test.veh.g
	Database Title:  test vehicle for use with irprep programs

	The number of regions read from the output
	file, the region # & name file, and the .g
	file are all equal.  The number of regions
	read, including the background is 19

	The program ir-X is now being run.  If option
	0 or 1 was used when the name of a file is asked
	for enter the name of the file that was just
	stored.
