SYNOPSIS

v.out.pov
v.out.pov --help
v.out.pov input=name [layer=string] [type=string[,string,...]] output=name [size=string] [zmod=string] [objmod=string] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files

Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output

Parameters:

input=name [required]
Name of input vector map
Or data source for direct OGR access
layer=string
Layer number or name ('-1' for all layers)
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.

Input feature type
Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, area, face, kernel
Default: point,line,area,face
output=name [required]
Name for output POV file
size=string
Radius of sphere for points and tube for lines
May be also variable, e.g. grass_r.
Default: 10
zmod=string
This string is appended to each z coordinate. Examples: '*10', '+1000', '*10+100', '*exaggeration'
objmod=string
Object modifier (OBJECT_MODIFIER in POV-Ray documentation)
Example: "pigment { color red 0 green 1 blue 0 }"
