NAME
viewobjf - renders a .objf file using opengl
SYNOPSIS
viewobjf [file.objf]
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of viewobjf is to render a .objf file using
opengl. This manual describes the implementation of
viewobjf , which was written by Francine Evans under the
guidance of Steven Skiena and Amitabh Varshney, SUNY at
Stony Brook.
Viewobjf's input is a .objf file. A .objf file is a .obj
file containing triangle strips. Therefore, viewobjf can
render a .obj file as well as a .objf file. Viewobjf works
directly with stripe, which converts a polygonal model to
triangle strips and produces a .objf file (consisting only
of triangle strips). Please see the manual page for stripe
for more information on how stripe works. Opengl is used to
render the object, since opengl can exploit the performance
advantages of using triangle strips.
