Hello,
I'm having a problem trying to view the images while rendering on linux.
I have xv installed as my image viewer but I can not get povray to show me
the images progressivly while it renders the file?
I'm using the command povray +D myscene.pov
I searched through the manuals as well as this list but could not find
anything relevant.
Thanks for your help,
Bobby

Just thinking off the top of my head:
1. Try putting: "Display=true" in your .ini file instead.
2. If you're not using a povray.ini file, it's a lot easier to deal with
than command-line switches.
3. Also, try "povray myscene.pov -display localhost:0" and see if that
works.
4. If that doesn't work, try "xhost +", and then step 3.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I just tried all that you mentioned and sadly none of
them worked :(
The strange thing is, on my old linux workstation everything worked as it
should but on my laptop, is where I'm having the problems.
Is there a place where I need to tell povray to use xv as the image viewer?
Or is there someplace else (on linux) where I need to make xv my default
image viewer?
If this helps, here's a snippet from my rendering log:
----------------------------------------------
Parsing Options
Input file: polygon.pov (compatible to version 3.5)
Remove bounds........On Split unions........Off
Library paths: /usr/share/povray-3.5 /usr/share/povray-3.5/include
Output Options
Image resolution 320 by 240 (rows 1 to 240, columns 1 to 320).
Output file: polygon.png, 24 bpp PNG
Graphic display......On (type: 0, palette: 3, gamma: 2.2)
Mosaic preview......Off
CPU usage histogram.Off
Continued trace.....Off Allow interruption..Off Pause when done.....Off
Verbose messages.....On
Redirecting Options
All Streams to console.........Off
Debug Stream to console.........On
Fatal Stream to console.........On
Render Stream to console........On
Statistics Stream to console....On
Warning Stream to console.......On
----------------------------------------------
Thanks!

First, I gotta ask -- you are running an XServer, right? :-)
Try this once for hits and shiggles:
povray povray.ini -geometry +0+0
Maybe the window is going off-screen for some freaky reason? That will keep
it snuggled and warm at 0,0.
Also, what is your DISPLAY variable set to?
To see, type: echo $DISPLAY in a shell.
Maybe it is redirecting elsewhere for some reason?
If it is, try setting DISPLAY to localhost

Yip! I'm logged into X using Fluxbox as my Wm.

I get an error with the -geometry flag :(
--------
Possible Command Line Error: Unknown switch 'geometry'.
--------
>Also, what is your DISPLAY variable set to?
>To see, type: echo $DISPLAY in a shell.
$echo $Display
$ :0.0

I tried this as well...
export DISPLAY=localhost
Still no go. I just don't get it. I think my computer is possessed!
Any other thoughts? It's bugging the hell out of me!
Thanks for your help,
Bobby

Never heard of Fluxbox, but I'm sure it's okay -- it's not likely to
override basic X Windows capability :-)

Wh.wh...wha? That's weird. I copied-and-pasted that from my screen after
trying it. What version of PovRay do you have?
Also, could you post the results of "uname -a" ?

I'm thinking this might be related to why Display isn't working. It might be
setting the Display variable to "localhost:0.0" instead of using on the
command-line!

Cool.

Hmmm.... I'm a bit stumped here as to why it is coughing on the -geometry
flag. If you output the version of PovRay you're using, and your system type
using uname -a, I might be able to deduce something from there.
Don't worry -- we'll get through this! :-)

GNU/Linux = Debian?

Please tell what version you are using, the problems you describe quite
strongly indicate that it is not the official binary but a custom compile.

Installed from source? I'm thinking maybe it compiled without X11
support...
