IFRIT(1) General Commands Manual IFRIT(1)

NAME

ifrit - a powerful tool that can be used to visualize 3-dimensional data sets

SYNOPSIS

ifrit [qt-options] [options] [dir_name]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the ifrit command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
