could anyone explain to me how I can run povray from an external program so
that povray will "silently" render the picture to a specified folder, but
have it so that the main povray interface does not become visible.
Thanks
Jim

What platform ?
BTW: Do you promise to announce user that POV-Ray is responsible for
rendering? :-)

No. Read the license. That isn't allowed.

Interesting, I've used SPSS, and MS-Visual Basic to create
POV script files and shell out to POV-Ray, but I've never
seen any reason to hide the interface. I do think it is possible
using the command line options, but why bother?

Before jumping to conclusions about potential wrongdoings and license
violations, he may have legitimate reasons to do so.
I'm launching POV-Ray from Access to create graphics for the database I'm
running at work. I'm using the DOS version of POV-Ray 3.1 to avoid having
the splash screen pop up every time I create a graphic (I've done 3000 of
them so far). I'm the sole user, so I definitely don't hide to myself the
fact that I'm using POV-Ray ;-)

...and if Gilles Tran can do it, it's good enough for me. ;)

You probably don't need the new features but you can also use the windows
console version of 3.5 or megapov for that purpose.

Gilles,
We are probably doing similar things. No doubt your
programing is much better and produces more sophisticated
graphs. I'll post a simple example in p.b.i., I'd be interested in
seeing what you are doing.
Harold
ps. I now work at a County rather than a University. They
will not let me install my own software, and they will not buy
any either. It took two weeks to get permission to install
POV-Ray!!

That's what I told someone who asked me the same question ! But yes what I
do is so simple that even POV-Ray 1.0 could do it.

It's probably the other way round, mine just takes a bunch of x,y points and
draws a scatter plot plus a regression line. These are really crummy
graphics (16 colors, 200x200, blue on white) but they're small, there's a
lot of them and people love them. There's an animated one here
http://www.inapg.inra.fr/dsa/afz/tables_documents.htm (the AVI file called
only appreciated by those who know what it's all about!
Creating the script was a piece of cake. Creating the vb script that
calculates the regression statistics, on the other hand... I spent a week on
it and needed help from the maths/stats department here.
