I want to run Povray from a Java program with a command line in the form:
<povray> +I<input> +O<output> +D +W800 +H600

I use the Runtime.exec(String) method and it works fine when input and
output files do not contain white spaces.
So I tried several other methods :

Runtime.exec(String) with <povray> +I'<input>' +O'<output>' +D +W800 +H600
Works under Windows but not under Linux

Runtime.exec(String) with <povray> +I"<input>" +O"<output>" +D +W800 +H600
Does not work under Windows (Linux not tested)

Runtime.exec(String[]) with { <povray>, +I'<input>', +O'<output>', +D,
+W800, +H600 }
Works under Windows but not under Linux


Is there a way to run correctly Povray from a Java program ?

I had a quicklook at povray source code and it seems there is some tweaking
made on the command line arguments.


TIA for any help.

Hi,

I can`t tell you how to do it in java, but there is a tool where you might
find what you need in the sources:

http://aoi.sf.net

Or you might ask in the forum from http://jpatch.sf.net , it is quite
active, and there are at least two guys with experience in java and povray
(Sascha and David)

This is the wrong group for this question.  This group is for discussion of
the POV-Ray source code.  Questions about using the POV-Ray should be asked
in either povray.general or povray.newusers.  Platform specific questions
should be asked in povray.windows, povray.unix or povray.macintosh .
