<refsection xml:id="description"><title>DESCRIPTION</title>

<para>Executes the BRL-CAD <emphasis>rt</emphasis> program with the default options of
"-s50 –M." If perspective is turned on, then the <emphasis>-p</emphasis> option will be included with the value of the perspective angle. The current database name is added to the end of the <command>rt</command> command line along with either the specified <emphasis> objects</emphasis> or, if none is specified, the list of currently displayed objects. The <emphasis>rt</emphasis> program is written such that options may be repeated, and the last occurrence of an option will override any earlier occurrences. This allows the user to specify other <emphasis>size (-s)</emphasis> options. The <command>rrt</command> command performs a similar function, but may be used to execute other programs as well. The <emphasis>-M</emphasis> option tells <emphasis>rt</emphasis> to read the viewing parameters from standard input. See the <emphasis>man</emphasis> page on <emphasis>rt</emphasis> for details. A related command is <command>saveview</command>, which can be used to create a shell script (batch job) to raytrace this view in the background.
