Hi!

Thanks for trying this program.

First of all, it is -very- far from being finished. The develiopment goes on, and
I can tell you when a new release is ready. If you want to be told, simply mail me
at guignot@wanadoo.fr.


To run the prog, simply uncompress the archive. A new directory, named interfacePOV will be created.

To run the prog, simply type ./poveditor.py, or python poveditor.py



What this program does.
First Menubutton : just 3 options 
Load : loads a file
Render : renders the active file. The render operation is threaded, so you can launch several renders in parallel, with their different windows.

if you want to change the options, edit the file tagada.ini.

Exit : ...

Second menubutton ; 
clean : cleans the current editor
delete : deletes the curr. ed.
col : forces syntactic colorisation of the curr. ed.

The Buttons bar is not active.

Editing a file : most classic operations (cut, paste, delete) are available.
The syntactic col. is computed when you hit Enter key.
Right click : a floating menu appaers, and you can insert many objects...





Troubleshooting :

--- prog does not launch...
hmm... Is python installed ? Check the adress at  the beginning of the file.

--- Tkinter can't be loaded ? Check your installation.

--- Pmw can't load. Idem.

--- Rendering does not run. Check the variables AdresseIncludesPourPOV and
AdresseDePOV.
Have a look at the Messages editor.

I'll try to be as close as possible to the windows editor. Many things have to be implemented,
but it does not seem very difficult.

The rest depends upon you...
I need
	bug reports.
	new features propositions.

If you have some good textures, nice skies, good macros that you want to give to the community, send them
to me, I'll put them in my object selection menu...   ;-)

If you want to be told when a new version is released, send me a mail at 
guignot@wanadoo.fr
