NAME
       LeoCAD -	CAD program for	LEGO models.

SYNOPSIS
       leocad [OPTIONS]	[INFILE]

DESCRIPTION
       LeoCAD	is  a  CAD program for creating	virtual	LEGO models. It	has an
       easy to use interface and includes thousands of different parts in  its
       library.

OPTIONS
       Below  is a summary of all of the options that LeoCAD accepts. Many op-
       tions have two equivalent names,	one of which is	a single  letter  pre-
       ceded  by  -,  and  the	other  of which	is a long name preceded	by --.
       Brackets	([ and ]) indicate that	an option takes	an optional parameter.

       infile Loads the	project	file infile

       -l path,	--libpath path
	      Set the parts library location.

       -i [outfile.ext], --image [outfile.ext]
	      Saves a picture to outfile.ext  in the image format specified by
	      ext and exits. If	outfile	is not given then the program will use
	      a	name based on infile. The file format is selected by  ext  and
	      can  be gif, bmp,	png or jpg (if ext is not present then the de-
	      fault preferences	format will be used).

       -w width, --width width
	      Sets the width of	the picture to width.

       -h height, --height height
	      Sets the height of the picture to	height.

       -f time,	--from time
	      Start saving pictures at the step	time. Steps start at 1.

       -t time,	--to time
	      Save pictures until the step time.

       -s submodel, --submodel submodel
	      Sets the active submodel to submodel.

       -c camera, --camera camera
	      Sets the active camera to	camera.

       -ss id, --stud-style id
	      Set the stud style. Valid	values	0=Plain,  1=Thin  Lines	 Logo,
	      2=Outline	 Logo,	3=Sharp	 Top Logo, 4=Rounded Top Logo, 5=Flat-
	      tened Logo, 6=High Contrast, 7=High Contrast with	Logo.

       --viewpoint front | back	| left | right | top | bottom |	home
	      Sets the viewpoint to one	of the predefined view angles.

       --camera-angles latitude	longitude
	      Set the camera angles in degrees around the model.

       --camera-position x y z	tx ty tz  ux uy	uz
	      Set the camera position, target and up vector using  the	LeoCAD
	      coordinate system.

       --camera-position-ldraw x y z  tx ty tz	ux uy uz
	      Set  the	camera	position, target and up	vector using the LDraw
	      coordinate system.

       --orthographic
	      Use an orthographic projection.

       --fov degrees
	      Set the vertical field of	view used to render images.

       --zplanes near far
	      Set the near and far clipping planes used	to render images (1 <=
	      near < far).

       --fade-steps
	      Render parts from	prior steps faded.

       --no-fade-steps
	      Do not render parts from prior steps faded.

       --fade-steps-color color
	      Color to use for rendering faded parts. (#AARRGGBB where AA, RR,
	      GG, and BB are hexadecimal values	for  alpha,  red,  green,  and
	      blue respectively.)

       --highlight
	      Highlight	parts in the steps they	appear.

       --no-highlight
	      Do not highlight parts in	the steps they appear.

       --highlight-color color
	      Color  to	 use  to highlight parts, (#AARRGGBB where AA, RR, GG,
	      and BB are hexadecimal values for	alpha, red,  green,  and  blue
	      respectively.)

       --shading wireframe | flat | default | full

       --line-width width
	      Set the width of the edge	lines.

       --aa-samples count
	      AntiAliasing sample size (1, 2, 4, or 8).

       -scc #AARRGGBB, --stud-cylinder-color #AARRGGBB
	      High contrast stud cylinder color.

       -ec #AARRGGBB, --edge-color #AARRGGBB
	      High contrast edge color.

       -bec #AARRGGBB, --black-edge-color #AARRGGBB
	      High contrast edge color for black parts.

       -dec #AARRGGBB, --dark-edge-color #AARRGGBB
