								     IVVIEW(1)

NAME
     ivview - fast, interactive 3D viewer of Inventor files

SYNOPSIS
     ivview [-hpw]
      [files | < file]

DESCRIPTION
     ivview reads an Inventor file (or files) and provides a simple interface
     to quickly view 3D data. The input files must be valid Inventor 3D files
     (versions 1.0 or 2.0).  All the files specified at the command line are
     read in and rendered.

     ivview presents a single window containing an Inventor viewer (examiner
     viewer or the walk viewer) and a menu bar.

     Note that if you click and hold the right mouse button, the viewer pop-up
     capabilities will be displayed.  Also, note that the viewer has a help
     card that provides detailed instruction on how to use it.

     The menu bar contains the following menus:

     File
	  This menu presents a file Open button, (reads an Inventor file and
	  replaces existing object), an About button, (displays information
	  about the program), and a Quit button.

     Options
	  This menu includes a High quality transparency toggle button that
	  turns the high-quality transparency option on and off (high quality
	  uses DELAYED_BLEND transparency, low quality uses SCREEN_DOOR
	  transparency), and an Edit background color button that pops up the
	  Inventor Color Editor to change the background color.

     Optimize
	  This menu includes an Optimize for speed toggle button that will run
	  the ivfix utility and a Cull backfaces toggle button that will
	  insert an SoShapeHints node that will cause only front-facing
	  polygons to be drawn.	 When checked, both of these options apply to
	  the current scene and any scenes read in using the File/Open menu.
	  Note that the ivfix utility completely restructures the scene,
	  losing any interaction or animation nodes or engines.

OPTIONS
     The following command line options are allowed:

     -h	  Prints the usage message for ivview.

     -p	  Enables the performance meter.  Off by default.

     -w	  Use an SoXtWalkViewer instead of the default SoXtExaminerViewer. Off
	  by default.  This option is incompatible with the -p option.

	  ivview < /usr/share/data/models/toys/jackInTheBox.iv

	  ivview -w /usr/share/data/models/buildings/Barcelona.iv

	  ivview myCameraAndLights.iv myObject.iv

     Toolkit.
