OFFCONV(1)               USER COMMANDS                 OFFCONV(1)



NAME
     offconv - OFF file conversion utility

SYNOPSIS
     offconv [-a][-b][-p][-n] inobj outobj

DESCRIPTION
     Offconv converts objects in OFF (Object  File  Format)  from
     ASCII  to binary or vice versa.  If no options are given, or
     if the -a option is specified, inobj is  read  in  and  then
     written  as  outobj  in  ASCII  format.  If the -b option is
     given, inobj is read in and then written as outobj in binary
     format.   If  the  -p  option  is specified, the off file is
     packed, removing redundant vertices in the geometry list. If
     the -n option is specified, per polygon normals are computed
     and added to the output.

BUGS
     Inobj can be the same as outobj.  However, such usage is not
     recommended.   In  the event the process is halted (manually
     or by a system crash), the original file can be blown away.

     Per-vertex colors and per-vertex normals are not packed with
     the  -p  option,  so  it  should not be used on objects with
     per-vertex colors or normals.
