« Doug Config File | NewbieIndex | »

% doug [options scene_files(s)]

Normally one launches Doug by running the run_graphics script. In order to find the commandline options, do the following:

% cd <doug area>
% setenv DOUG_HOME `pwd`
% source edge_env #(or .doug_cshrc in older versions)
% bin_${VR_HOST_CPU}/doug -help
  <This will generate an error, but will give you the commandline options>
