VDECK(1V)

NAME
vdeck - generate COM-GEOM decks from a GED file

SYNOPSIS
vdeck file.vg

DESCRIPTION
A list of objects to be converted are selected interactively from the table of contents. String matching operators (wild cards) like those used to specify file or directory names in sh(1) are provided for this purpose, as well as to search for names in the table of contents.

One or more COM-GEOM decks can be output. Each deck consists of three files: the solid, region, and region-id tables. These can be combined with cat(1).

A menu of the commands and their usage is available by typing ? to the program.

WARNING
Vdeck is intended for new-style mged databases only. Files produced by older versions of GED may be incompatible with vdeck.
