Hi,
It may seems like a stupid question, but I'm very new to Linux.
I've just installed povray and I think I know how it works,
using command line in the console.
But is it supposed to have some kind of a graphic interface (like an editor and
render button), or at least a display of the current rendering?
thanks.
Patrick

It doesn't have a built in editor but if you run x-povray from within X
you should get a display of your image while rendering. Use the +d
command line argument or put Display=true in your povray.ini file.
PoD.

No built-in editor, it is usually run from the command line. Some utilities do
exist that provide a GUI (for setting options, launching rendering etc), see the
POV-Ray links page for reference. I must say though that the ones I've tried
have some quirks.
You can of course use any text editor to create your scene files; for some (such
as emacs) plugins exist that provide syntax highlighting.
Both s-povray and x-povray can display the image as it's being rendered.
x-povray is meant to work under X (i.e. the graphical environment) where the
rendering is displayed in a new window. You can run it by typing 'x-povray' in
the terminal window (of course you have to provide some additional options on
the command line for it to do anything useful)
