NAME

label3d - process a Raster3D scene containing labels

SYNOPSIS


   label3d [-png  [outfile.png ]] < infile.r3d > outfile.png 
   label3d  -tiff [outfile.tiff]  < infile.r3d > outfile.tiff

label3d is a shell script that processes a Raster3D input file containing label descriptors (object types 10, 11, 12) into a TIFF or PNG (default) image containing both the molecular graphics image and the associated labels.

label3d uses the Raster3D utilities r3dtops and render, and requires that both ghostscript and ImageMagick be installed.

ENVIRONMENT

Scratch files are created in directory TMPDIR, if defined, otherwise in /usr/tmp. Font sizes are scaled by the value of the environmental parameter FONTSCALE. FONTSCALE defaults to 3.

BUGS

The whole nature of label handling in Raster3D is not yet settled. It would be much nicer if all the label processing were taken care of by the render program itself.

The script assumes that the image is being prepared for printing at 300 dpi (r3dtops is called with -fontscale 3.0).

Labels always appear on top of the molecular graphics image, even labels which should be occluded by a foreground object.
