[comp.sys.sgi] .liverc for Mathematica

jdm@boulder.colorado.edu (Jim Meiss) (04/10/91)

	Does anyone know the complete list of options for the .liverc file in
Mathematica (1.2)?

 From the limited info in the users guide, and the man page, I've got the
following
------
#.liverc file

# x y z is a direction vector
# r g b are colors in range (0,.9999)
# lighsources give list for lights menu

lightsources "name1"  x1 y1 z1 r1 g1 b1 x2 y2 z2 r2 g2 b2 .....
lightsources "name2"  x1 y1 z1 r1 g1 b1 x2 y2 z2 r2 g2 b2 .....
lights 5        # item to choose initially
material 6      # item to choose initially
translucent 0   # 0 off and 1 on
alpha 1         # ????
bb 0            # bounding box 0 off or 1 on
outline 0       # outline polygons
spin 0          # spinning mode
smooth 1        # ????
bb_color 255 255 0       #bounding box color
bg_color 0 0 0           # background color
outline_color 0 255 255  # outline color
------

	However I can't get "translucent" "smooth" or "alpha" to do anything. In
particular, my surfaces seem to have the "jaggies" so I hope there is some way
to turn on smoothing.

	Thanks
