Hi,

I am trying to use PovRay from my java code to create image using dynamic
texture and thus looking to pass file path of texture image while executing pov
script.

However I am not finding, how to do that.

tried Declare=IDENTIFIER=<value>, it takes float value and I want a String with
value file path.

Please help me to achieve it.

Thanks,

Bhupesh

   Just think a bit different: you can put that string declaration on a
include file that you create from your Java app, then call POV to render
the scene, which includes it somewhere before it's needed.

Hi,

Thanks Jaime.
will give that a try, actually we thought about that as well, however just eager
to know if PovRay provides anything to pass argument while executing script, as
it provide for float values.

3.7RC3 allows this:

$ povray Declare=\'foo=\"bar\"\'
