Description

[-smooth|flat ]

The -smooth switch allows you to apply smooth shading to the nominated triangulation model(s). Each vertex will be coloured according to the angle the triangulation makes with the light direction. Use the -flat switch if you don't want to apply smooth shading.

{triangulations}

Refers to triangulations that you want to display.
The colours are cycled from 8 primary colours. That is, the 8th triangulation will be given the same colour as the first. The data is automatically scaled to fit the window. It does not maintain the correct aspect ratio, i.e. scaling may be different in the X, Y and Z directions to fit the window.
