NAME

vdltodmx – dmx configuration file parser and printer

SYNOPSIS

vdltodmx infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

vdltodmx reads the input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format. After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration file format is written to the output file.

The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html

EXAMPLE

Given the following VDL-format file:


0 2
#
#
    2560 2048 Left two -
    thirds [restrict = *:2] 2 : 2.1 1280 2048 0 0 0 0 : 2.2 1280 2048 1280 0 0 0 4 1280 1024 0 0 1280 1024 0 1024 1280 1024 1280 0 1280 1024 1280 1024
#
    2560 2048 Right two -
    thirds [restrict = *:2] 2 : 2.2 1280 2048 0 0 0 0 : 2.3 1280 2048 1280 0 0 0 4 1280 1024 1280 0 1280 1024 1280 1024 1280 1024 2560 0 1280 1024 2560 1024

the following DMX-format file will be produced:


#
#
virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048
{
display:
    2.1 1280x2048;
display:
    2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
}
#
virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048
{
display:
    2.2 1280x2048;
display:
    2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
}

BUGS

If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core.
