G-RAW

## Name

g-raw — RAW Translator (BRL-CAD to RAW)

## Synopsis

`g-raw` [-o `output_file`] [-m `output_directory`] [-i] [-8] [-D `calculation_tolerance`] [-a `absolute_tol`] [-r `relative_tol`] [-n `normal_tol`] [-xX `level`] [-v] `database.g` `object(s)`...

## DESCRIPTION

g-raw converts the specified object(s) from a BRL-CAD database.g file to the stereolithography file format.

The following options are recognized.

`-o PATH`

  Specify output file name (default is stdout).

`-m DIR`

  Specify a directory for output files. Each region converted is written to a separate file. File names are constructed from the full path names of each region (the path from the specified object to the region). Any "/" characters in the path name are replaced by "@" characters and "." and white space are replaced by "_" characters. If the -m option is not specified, all regions are written to the same file. The `-o` and `-m` options are mutually exclusive.

`-i`

  Use inches as the output format (the default is mm).

`-8`

  Facetize using the marching cubes algorithm.

`-D#`

  Specify a calculational distance tolerance (mm). Any two vertices that are less than this distance apart will be treated as the same vertex.

`-a#`

  Specify the absolute tesselation tolerance.

`-r#`

  Specify the relative tesselation tolerance.

`-n#`

  Specify the surface-normal tesselation tolerance.

`-x#`

  Specify an RT debug flag.

`-X#`

  Specify an NMG debug flag.

`-v`

  Enable verbose output.

## EXAMPLE

    $ g-raw -o sample.raw sample.g sample_object
