Rayscript

Rayscript is a program which reads in parameter files for molscript and writes out instruction files for rayshade. Rayscript was written by Dan Peisach.

The above example was made by the following commands (warning - cpu intensive):

setup rayscript (or source /sgi/local/setup/rayscript.set)
cp /sgi/local/molscript/example/ras_view1_col.in .
cp /sgi/local/rayscript/examples/ras_view1_col.all .
rayscript < ras_view1_col.in > ras_view1_col.ray
rayshade -P -I$RAYINC -q -O ras_view1_col.rle ras_view1_col.all
convert ras_view1_col.rle ras_view1_col.gif

The *.in file is the same file used in molscript; the output of rayscript (*.ray) is called by the *.all file as additional input for rayshade; the output of rayshade defaults to Utah Raster Toolkit "RLE" format (*.rle) and can be converted to another format (here *.gif) using convert from ImageMagick.

Other *.all files for the rest of the molscript examples (gdp, gdp_col, gdp_stereo, ras_view1_ab, ras_view1_chain, ras_view1_col, ras_view3_sup) are in /sgi/local/rayscript/examples/. Inspect these files and change to suit your case.
