hi everybody,
i am a rar povray user. I use it to render picture of crystall structures. Now
for a poster i would love to include two graphs resultet of some measurments.
This graphs are simple x,y ASCII file, which i normaly display with origin or
even with excel.
i found a programm to create .dxf from pdf, if it works i should be able to have
the .dxf file. but i could not find converter to povray. the links in older
threads are not working.
thanks
shiva

To convert several formats to the POV-Ray format, you can try poseray.
It create a .POV file from the input file you give it.
If you want to use some image files, you can use any of the followings:
BMP
PNG
JPG/JPEG
GIF
TIF/TIFF

Subject: If you want a pretty graph, just like Excel gives you: cheat!

The easiest way is simply to cheat. There are several ways:
- Use PovRay to create the picture you would like to have, import the
pov-picture as background into Excel. Combine your Excel-graph with
pov-picture and enjoy.
- Use PovRay to create the picture you would like to have, use Excel to
produce the prettily formatted graph, make a screenshot, combine screenshot
with PovRay-scene using a program like Photoshop.
A more Pov-Ray way to cheat:
- Use Excel to produce the prettily formatted graph, create screenshot or
print to bitmap, and use an image_map in PovRay to include the graph into
your PovRay scene. Apply the image_map to a box-object or a sphere, if you
are feeling artistic.
Include something like this into your PovRay scene (or google for "povray
image_map"):
pigment
{ image_map
{ gif "myprettyexcelgraph.gif"
map_type 1
}
}
- Now, if you want just to render the graph, use the raw x,y coordinates as
part of a sphere_sweep
sphere_sweep {
linear_spline
42,
<x1, y1, 0>, 1
<x2, y2, 0>, 1
....
< x42, y42, 0>, 1
}
Scale to size and include in your Pov-Scene. Enjoy.
However, you don't get all the trimmings this way, just the bare graph, no
axes, no grids, no labels.
- If all this is not what you are looking for, try Inkscape. Inkscape does
export to PovRay prism-objects and can import many different formats.
