Well, there are so many editors available for 'nix that you'll probably
never get a consensus, but qtPoveditor is nice, and comes with a render
button just like the win version.

Plus, it keeps track of user defined objects and variables, not just POV
keywords, so you can [tab] to complete instead of continually retyping;
#while ( Visiting_Dignitaries > 0 )
  object { Sauteed_Puppies translate Formal_Dining_Room_Table[ Place_Set
  [Current_Dignitary] ] }
  #declare Visiting_Dignitaries = Visiting_Dignitaries-1;
#end

These Visitors are not eaten, they are served.
A served visitor is ready for the next step...

It's only one puppy per visitor, thanks (and per meal...).

Hi, Greg, here's what I do, after nearly two years working with both OS side

real pain and a nerve to switch hundred times between KEdit and the console
Window and the POVWin GUI can't be beaten. Tests are (mostly) rendered in
low resolution, without AA and time-consuming textures and so on. And THEN,
when I think everything is ready (mostly I am wrong at this moment) I put
the whole package on a memory stick and plug it to the Linux machine - and
there it goes.


(inefficient) method.

Parts of the other answers should be rewritten as follows: even if there
should be some day a POVLinux with inbuilt-GUI, there will always be people
recommending the command-line version because that's what lots of *nix


paranoia.

Autocompletition will work very well with that.  For 
'mimeobjects399t17.pov' 

for example you would just type 

'm<tab>3<tab>t17<tab>'

Of course for actually finding the file you want to render it would be
better to use more descriptive file names.

BTW no one forces you to render from a terminal - both Emacs and QTPov
support to start a render internally.  It is just that it is more
convenient for a lot of people.

Please don't try to talk about things you have no idea of (here read as:
don't make any assumptions about peoples' computer use habits if you
have never seen how they actually work with a computer).

Note while i wrote "...that's what most Unix people prefer..." you think
it is more accurate and helpful to say "...the POVWin GUI can't be
beaten...".

  Perhaps it's a pain to *you* because you don't know how to do it
efficiently?
  After all, it just requires a couple of keystrokes. Granted, with
that setting you need a couple of keystrokes more: with winpov it's
enough to press alt-g to render while with a setting like yours it
requires pressing alt-tab, up, enter. However, I wouldn't call that
a "real pain".
  Perhaps you just don't know how to use your keyboard?

  It's funny that, according to my experience, most people who advocate
the extensive use of the mouse do not know how to use their mouse
efficiently. I'm not telling you fall into this category, but I wouldn't
be surprised. You present all the symptoms.

How about screen?

#starting
screen
nano -w reflective_sphere_on_a_checkered_plane.pov
ctrl+a c
povray +Ireflective_sphere_on_a_checkered_plane.pov +D +P +W800 +H600 -A

#from here this is a cycle
ctrl+a space
*editing the code*
ctrl+a space
ctrl+c
up
enter

Besides, you can let the screen running on the machine and log out (with 
-D you can let the comp continue rendering) by pressing ctrl+a d (it 
resumes with screen -r). You can also use this remotely from another 
machine with X.

Ever tought about a network? Just edit the file in the same shared dir 
where you render it on another machine, and you can forget the USB-stick.

...... possible, of course.

No, Warp, sorry, but it does *not*. As I said, it is neither a matter of

You know the Alt-G stroke, You might use it when typing at the notebook, but
it would never, never, never come to your mind when sitting at the PC. Why?


arm that a lot of people think this way (I do, of course).

Then you change the OS. Great! You have hundred distros, a dozen WMs and two

it, you simply ask for- and get a punch on the nose! They talk to you abou
efficiency, but what they mean is - *their* habit ;-) **

I wouldn't be also. I'm not an expert. :-)
