Reference guide for using IGVIEW, an IGES compatible geometry display, editing, and analysis system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6042578
This report provides an introduction to the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) compatible code called IGVIEW. This software can be used to display, edit, and analyze two-dimensional IGES formatted geometry. IGVIEW was written to comply with IGES version 2.0, which is the current national geometry standard. This report is intended only to serve as a reference manual for IGVIEW users. It contains a description of all the possible commands that can be used, and how to execute them. It details how to execute the code, read in a geometry file, and write a geometry file. There is also a discussion about what types of computer systems and terminals the current version of IGVIEW will support. The procedures for developing a material library are shown, and a short example library is provided.
