NAME
       bdy - boundary curve finder

SYNOPSIS
       bdy [precision]

DESCRIPTION
       Bdy  is a filter	used to	find boundary curves in	Geomview objects.  The
       program reads a geomview	object from standard input and prints the  re-
       sultant	vector	object	to standard output.  Bdy finds the segments of
       the vector by first converting the given	object into  a	polylist  (See
       anytooff(1)).   Then, it	finds all edges	used once and only once	in the
       polylist	and combines these edges into a	vector object.	 The  optional
       precision  arguement  specifies	the  maximum distance between vertices
       that are	to be considered identical.  By	default, it is set to 0.0, in-
       dicating	that the vertices must be numerically identical.  It may some-
       times be	necessary to set it to a higher	value to compensate for	float-
       ing-point error.

       The vector object is always black.

BUGS
       The vector object is not	a particularly compact representation  of  it-
       self, since it contains many 2-vertex segments which could be combined.
