PP-FB(1V)

NAME
pp-fb - display a GIFT pretty-picture file on a frame buffer

SYNOPSIS
pp-fb file.pp

DESCRIPTION
Pp-fb reads file.pp, determines the size, and displays a color shaded image represented therein on a frame buffer. The PP files are the output from using the pretty-picture option of the gift(1V) ray-tracing program. Some information pertaining to the color assignment of region identification numbers and the background color is prompted for on the standard input. By default, the frame buffer device /dev/ik0l is assumed. This may be changed by setting the environment variable FB_FILE to the name of another device or file name and exporting it before execution of pp-fb. Commands for manipulating the display are documented on-line.
