 | | Question about image generation —Dave Schuler
|
| | | How is an image like this created: (URL) how are the black lines done? Is there a special command, or is it a function of some software platform unfamiliar to me? Any info is appreciated. Dave! (19 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) The key bit is the -W option -- it draws thick lines. The $scale is the width of the line, in pixels. For the ldraw/partsref/peeron images, we use -W3 (but we also set scale to -S3, for a 300% zoom). -Q is supposed to result in higher-quality, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) The black lines are normal edge lines (type 2 or 5). As has been mentioned, that was drawn by LDGlite which seems to use silly thick black lines to represent them. Different renderers use different settings (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) You can also use "Save snapshot" in LDView to generate a similar image. If you set the edge lines to be always black, and set the Field of View to be 0.1, you'll get something like so: (URL) Cobbs (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) I forgot to mention -- the generator uses the 0 COLOR statement to define custom color values. But I don't think color 47 is tweaked very much. Steve (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
