-
- Program-Prefs
-
- SFORMAT - global save-format for ALL object-saving commands
- ALIGNP - align particles along the face-normals of the
- structure-object
- BACKFACES - create backfaces writing Videoscape-objects
- (default: FALSE !)
- LOG - write all text-output in a log-file, too
- LOGFILE - file-name of the log-file
- QUIET - supress all text-output (log-file-writing isn't
- affected
- COMPLETE - perform command- and parameter-completion
- ACTVAL - loop-counter for string-formatting outside of loops
- SAVESPHEREP - create additional particle-files while saving
- sphere-objects
- EXFILE - output-file for the particle-info-commands
- (programmer-interface)
- EXFORMAT - output format (float (default) or long (for GCC)
- RANDOM - global random-seed (you get the same objects at
- the same seed)
- CHECKMOUSE(boolean) - check mouse to abort drawing
- WARNINGS(boolean) - warn before killing objects (default: false)
- MODULEDIR - directory containing external binaries (converters etc.)
- HELPDIR - directory containing all help-files
- (default: "DustHelp")
- HELPDIR2 - directory containing external help-files, searched
- before HELPDIR
- PAGER - pager to view help-files, if set to "" no pager
- is used (best choice: "most")
- ECHO (ON/OFF) - print command-lines while executing batch-file
-
- SPLINETYPE (splinetype) - default splines-type (e.g. used by SMOOTH)
- SPLINEENDS (splineends) - ends of the splines
- SPLINESUBDIV (int) - spline-subdivision (default: 20)
- MAXANGLE (0..360) - largest angle (in degrees) between two edges to
- take them to create a spline-curve for the
- SMOOTH-operator
- FORCESWAP (boolean) - force the swapping of the source-curve (see CDEFORM)
- STARTPCORR (integer) - startpoint-correction for the source-curve (see CDEFORM)
- INTERPMODE (interpmode) - interpolation-mode (see CDEFORM)
-
- Window-Prefs:
-
- ASPECT(real) - window-aspect (default: 0.7 (Euro72 on my monitor))
- KEEPASPECT(boolean) - keep aspect after window-sizing (default: false)
- KEEPSCALE - keep initial scale
- LEFT(integer) - window-leftedge
- TOP(integer) - window-topedge
- WIDTH(integer) - window-width
- OUTLINED - draw outlined faces
- ROTX(real) - x-rotation Angle in degrees
- ROTZ(real) - z-rotation Angle in degrees
- ZOOM(real) - zoom-factor
- DRAWMODE(drawmode) - drawmode
- WINDOWSTACK(longint) - stack-size of draw-tasks (default: 12000)
- WINDOWPRI(-3..3) - priority of draw-tasks (default: 0)
-
- BREAKWIN(boolean) - suppress break-requester opened by the most
- commands
- BWLEFT - x-coordinate of the command-break-window
- BWTOP - y-coordinate of the command-break-window
-
- LWCMD1,LWCMD2,LWCMD3 - special Lightwave-commands called at every frame,
- format-commanfs ('$' and '%') are allowed
- Example: "saveimages hd1:pic%" will Lightwave cause
- to create the Images in the format "pic.0001", ...
- (this is the default)
-
- You can load and save this settings using the commands LOADCONFIG and
- SAVECONFIG. The default config-file is named "s:.dustrc" and will be
- executed at program-start.
