Synopsis:
sketch [-h][-V x.y][-v][-b][-d][t doctmp][-T[u|e][p[P|T][L|C]]][-o output.tex] [-D tag …] input1.sk [-U tag …] input2.sk …
Description
Processes the sketch
input files in order to produce
PSTricks
output code suitable for inclusion in a TeX or
LaTeX document.
-h
Print a short catalog of options.
-V
Set the PSTricks
version assumed for output purposes to
x.y
, for example 1.19. Usually needed only if your
PSTricks
is old compared to your sketch
. Use
-v
to see what sketch
assumes by default.
-v
Print version information to standard output, including the version
of PSTricks
assumed for output (can be changed with -V
above).
-b
Use a BSP (See Hidden surface removal.) for all hidden surface removal rather than the default, which is the depth sort algorithm with BSPs used only for cycle resolution. This may produce correct output in certain degenerate cases where the depth sort cannot, but it also leads to many gratuitous splits, hence more anomalies Bugs and anomalies and big output files.
-d
Run sketch
’s parser in debugging mode. This is primarily for
development.
-t
Use contents of file doctmp as a document template
in which to enclose PSTricks
output code. The code is inserted
in place of the first instance of the escape string
%%SKETCH_OUTPUT%%.
-T
Causes PSTricks
output to be enclosed in default US document
template text. Option -Tu is a synonym. Option -Te
causes the Euro standard document template to be used. A p
appended to any of these options causes the respective default
PSTricks
document template to be printed to standard output. An
appended P is a synonym. An appended T causes the
the TikZ/PGF
template to be printed. An appended L
prints the LaTeX version of the document template, a synonym for
the default. A C prints the ConTeXt
template.
-o
Use output.tex as the output file. The default is standard output.
-D
Define a tag for purposes of selecting definition alternatives. See Definitions. The definition applies for all input files that follow unless the tag is undefined with -U.
inputi.sk
Input files, read in the sequence they are given.
-U
Un-define a tag for purposes of selecting definition alternatives.
