NAME¶
ivcat - concatenates and converts Inventor files
SYNOPSIS¶
ivcat [
-bfht] [
-o file] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
ivcat reads each
file in sequence and then writes each out. If no
input file is given, or a filename of "-" is specified,
ivcat
reads from the standard input file. The input files must be valid Open
Inventor 3D Interchange Format files (1.0 or 2.0).
The following command line options are allowed:
- -b
- Write out the files in binary Inventor format. The default is to write out
the files in Inventor's ASCII format.
- -f
- Remove all SoFile nodes. This has the effect of condensing
hierarchical files into a single file.
- -h
- Print usage message.
- -o file
- Send the output to the given file, instead of to the standard output.
- -t
- Expand SoTexture2 nodes to explictly include the texture data rather than
a file name.
EXAMPLES¶
To convert from binary to ASCII Inventor
- ivcat < binaryfile.iv > asciifile.iv
To convert from ASCII to binary Inventor:
- ivcat -b < asciifile.iv > binaryfile.iv
