`in` -f -s new_shape_name shape_type parameters

## DESCRIPTION

Allows the user to type in the arguments needed to create a shape with the name new_shape_name of the type shape_type. The command may be invoked with no arguments, and it will prompt the user for all needed information. The -s option will invoke the primitive edit mode on the new shape immediately after creation. The -f option does not draw the new shape, and therefore the -s option may not be used in conjunction with -f. The possible values for shape_type are:

- arb8 -- ARB (eight vertices)

- arb7 -- ARB (seven vertices).

- arb 6 -- ARB (six vertices).

- arb 5 -- ARB (five vertices).

- arb 4 -- ARB (four vertices).

- arbn -- Arbitrary polyhedron with arbitrary number of vertices (plane equations).

- bot -- Bag of Triangles.

- dsp -- Displacement Map.

- pipe -- Pipe (run of connected pipe or wire).

- ebm -- Extruded Bit Map.

- vol -- Voxels.

- hf -- Height Field deprecated, see dsp.

- ars -- Arbitrary Faceted Solid.

- half -- Half Space.

- sph -- Ellipsoid (center and radius).

- ell -- Ellipsoid (center and three semi-axes).

- ellg -- Ellipsoid (foci and chord length).

- ell1 -- Ellipsoid (center, one semi-axis, and a radius of revolution).

- tor -- Torus.

- tgc -- Truncated General Cone (most general TGC).

- tec -- TGC (top radii are scaled from base radii).

- rec -- TGC (right elliptical cylinder).

- trc -- TGC (truncated right circular cone).

- rcc -- TGC (right circular cylinder).

- box -- ARB (vertex and three vectors).

- raw -- ARB (right angle wedge).

- rpp -- ARB (axis aligned rectangular parallelepiped).

- rpc -- Right Parabolic Cylinder.

- rhc -- Right Hyperbolic Cylinder.

- epa -- Elliptical Paraboloid.

- ehy -- Elliptical Hyperboloid.

- eto -- Elliptical Torus.

- part -- Particle.

- ebm -- Extruded bitmap

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the `in` command to create a shape of a specified type.

Create a new shape in the form of a right angle wedge.

mged> `in new1 raw 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0`

  Creates an ARB named new1 in the form of a right angle wedge.

Creating ebm from bitmap file

mged> `in new1.s ebm f image_name.bw 350 350 20`

  Creates an ebm named new1.s using file image_name.bw, dimensions of image_name.bw (e.g. '350 350'), and the desired extrusion distance (e.g. '20').

Creating ebm with database objects

mged> `in new1.s ebm o dbobj 350 350 20`

  Creates an ebm named new1.s using database object dbobj, dimensions of original bitmap image (e.g. '350 350'), and the desired extrusion distance (e.g. '20'). (see 'bo' command for creating database object).
