-h
, -help
gives a short description of
possible command line arguments.
-verbose
turns on verbose output (incl. IPC
communication); use it to locate VRweb crashes (if they should ever
happen...) and include the output in the bug report
-lang[uage] lg
sets the language of the user interface
to one of [english|german|french|spanish|styrian]
.
PS: If you know somebody willing to translate the interface also to Italian, please drop us a short mail and I will send you the appropriate files. Your help would be much appreciated. There are no plans for supporting other languages. Please, send bug reports or information requests in English or German only.
-URL url
base URL for relative references (typically
set via -URL %u
in ~/.mailcap).
-remote file
open file in a running VRweb instance or
create a new VRweb window if none found. It is not possible to
redirect stdinput to a remote instance. However the optional FILE
argument after all options allows this using a -
.
-helpDir dir
directory where to find on-line help
files. Defaults to ~/.vrweb/help
.
-draw[mode]
select the initial drawing mode to be one of
[wireframe|hiddenline|flat|smooth|texturing]
-intdraw[mode]
selects the interactive drawing mode to be one of the list above
or same
to use the same mode during navigation too.
-speed
sets an (overall) speed factor for navigation
-alphaplanes
inquire visual with alpha-bitplanes. Note
that transparent materials are only shown when blending is turned on
(display option "anti-aliased lines") and will look wrong if polygons
do not happen to be ordered from back to front. A correct
implementation is in progress.
-mesabackbuf
selects the backbuffer for Mesa to be one of
[pixmap|image|auto]
. Pixmap transfers each drawing
command immediately to the XServer. Image causes all drawings to be
made into an XImage, which is transfered to the XServer when complete;
shared memory usage (only available when displayed locally) makes this
transfer fast. The default setting auto uses image for shaded views
and pixmap for wireframes.
-singlebuf
turns off double buffering for 3D
renderings. Usually slower than double buffering. OpenGL however may
provide a X-visual with greater depth.
-indirect
render OpenGL through X-server (slower).
-mosaic
use mosaic for anchor requests and on-line help
(else netscape).
The following command line options are common to all InterViews applications:
-bg background
, -fg foreground
, -flat
col
select the color for background, foreground and flat GUI
elements respectively. Specify colors with symbolic names (white,
green etc.) or hexadecimal RGB values: #RRGGBB
.
-font fn
selects the font.
-display dis
the display where VRweb should be shown. Normally
determined by environment variable $DISPLAY.
-visual vClass
selects the visual class. Valid settings are:
PseudoColor, TrueColor, DirectColor, StaticGray, GrayScale, StaticColor. Normally
VRweb uses the default visual to avoid color map flashing ("technicolor").
-visual_id 0xID
selects a visual id for the window. See
xdpyinfo for visual-ids available on your XServer.
-dbuf
, -nodbuf
turns on (default) or off (less memory
usage) double buffering for GUI elements.
-sgimotif
, -motif
, -openlook
selects the GUI style to be SGI-like Motif (default), "normal" Motif
or OpenLook.
-xrm '*attribute:value'
specifies an arbitrary
Xattribute on commandline.
VRweb follows the naming scheme of Xdefaults for the Harmony Hyper-G client. The place of VRweb in the resource hierarchy is
Harmony.Scene
Please refer to file SceneViewer.ad
in the UNIX
distribution of VRweb, for a list of Xattributes recognized by VRweb
and their default values.
