(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) LDLite or LDGLite, possibly with a special ldraw.ini color file that gives black edge lines (although the default for trans white might be black already), or maybe MegaPOV are all ways I can think to do it. Ask Dan Boger. (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)

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)

Thanks, Kevin. I have taken another step with this. I generated part images with Lpub and then messed around with some XSL to make a web page for these. As this is mostly for my inventory, I used the first word in the part as a bold title for a (...) (19 years ago, 7-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
