OFFCONV(1) OFFCONV(1)
14 September 1988
NAME
offconv - OFF file conversion utility
SYNOPSIS
offconv [-a][-b][-p][-n] inobj outobj
DESCRIPTION
Offconv converts objects in OFF (Object File Format) from ASCII to
binary or vice versa. If no options are given, or if the -a option is
specified, inobj is read in and then written as outobj in ASCII
format. If the -b option is given, inobj is read in and then written
as outobj in binary format. If the -p option is specified, the off
file is packed, removing redundant vertices in the geometry list. If
the -n option is specified, per polygon normals are computed and added
to the output.

BUGS
Inobj can be the same as outobj. However, such usage is not
recommended. In the event the process is halted (manually or by a
system crash), the original file can be blown away.
Per-vertex colors and per-vertex normals are not packed with the -p
option, so it should not be used on objects with per-vertex colors or
normals.
