G-VAR 1 BRL-CAD BRL-CAD User Commands
g-var Produce (OpenGL) Vertex Arrays from BOT BRL-CAD geometry
`g-var` -v -y -s scale -f -o outfile infile.g object

## DESCRIPTION

`g-var` writes the bag of triangle (BOT) primitives of the specified object in a binary array format to outfile or to stdout.

## OPTIONS

`-v`

  Request verbose output.

`-y`

  Transform the coordinate system from xyz to xzy.

`-s` `scale`

  Scale the output geometry by factor scale. By default the scale factor is 0.001 (standard transformation from meters to millimeters).

`-f`

  Flip face normals. This changes both the vertex order and the output normals.

`-o` outfile

  The output will be written to outfile. By default the output is written to stdout.

## FILE FORMAT

TODO

## EXAMPLE

    $ g-var -o sample.mesh sample.g sample_object

## DIAGNOSTICS
