RTEDGE nged BRL-CAD BRL-CAD MGED Commands
rtedge Executes the BRL-CAD rtedge program with the default options of "-s512 -M."
`rtedge` options -- objects

## DESCRIPTION

Executes the BRL-CAD rtedge program with the default options of "-s512 -M." If perspective is turned on, then the -p option will be included with the value of the perspective angle. The current database name is added to the end of the `rtedge` command line along with either the specified objects or, if none is specified, the list of currently displayed objects. The rtedge program is written such that options may be repeated, and the last occurrence of an option will override any earlier occurrences. This allows the user to specify other size (-s) options. The -M option tells rtedge to read the viewing parameters from standard input. See the man1 page on rtedge for details.
