.d (draw) format
The .d format is a seldom-used ASCII polygon file format which is simpler than the .poly format as it only has only two sections: POINTS and POLYS. The .d format has only moves and draws, where a move signifies the beginning of a new polygon.
The .d format is suitable for user-written programs that create polygon information if you do not want to use the Houdini polygon library. It can describe 2D or 3D lines and supports comments.
Syntax
-
The standard syntax for a
.dfile is a set of commands. -
.dfiles have one command per line. -
The character in the first column (
mord) specifies the command (move or draw). Commands are followed by white space, then a list of arguments delimited by whitespace. -
Whitespace is any combination of tabs and space characters.
-
The arguments are floating point numbers.
