Question regarding exporting to .PNG
Hello...Im attempting to export to .png via the command line (using .com
under Windows)...An example command line I use is...C:\Program
Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.com -o C:\folder\038.png C:\folder\038.scadThis
succeeds and produces a valid .png file, however the render is incomplete
and only has some of my objects. It also happens very quickly in comparison
to exporting to an .STL which makes me think that OSCAD is just using
something cached perhaps?I tried adding an extra parameter '--render' to
'force' a render... C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.com -o
C:\folder\038.png --render C:\folder\038.scadbut that is not even valid
according to the output.What am I doing wrong here?thank you!Jess

Do the --render before the -o.
That could be a bug...

That or it might be only available in the snapshot versions.
ciao,
Torsten.
I just ran it with 2015.03-02.

On Linux it does not make any difference where the --render is located.
Example SCAD:
color("red") cube(10);
openscad -o test.png test.scad
=> red cube
openscad --render -o test.png test.scad
=> yellow cube
openscad -o test.png --render test.scad
=> yellow cube
openscad -o test.png test.scad --render
=> yellow cube
So maybe that's a problem with the OPENSCAD.COM wrapper?
What happens when using OPENSCAD.EXE?
ciao,
Torsten.

Same.
In my case I use a square() - so preview is a yelow cube, render is a
cyan/red bordered square.
-o ... --render ... produces the help info
--render -o ... ... produces rendered square

Nabble has been dropping CRLF every so often (or it could be my email reader...), that looked
confusing.
That was:
-o ... --render ... produces the help info
--render -o ... ... produces rendered square

Okay, I tried it 4 ways... both EXE and COM and then with --render before and
after the -o switch and parameter... looks like --render has to be
first!!!!!! No difference between .com and .exe.1. "C:\Program
Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" -o C:\folder\038.png --render
C:\folder\038.scad RESULT: Outputs usage - invalid?2. "C:\Program
Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.com" -o C:\folder\038.png --render
C:\folder\038.scad RESULT: Outputs usage - invalid?3. "C:\Program
Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" --render -o C:\folder\038.png
C:\folder\038.scad RESULT: This Works!!!!4. "C:\Program
Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.com" --render -o C:\folder\038.png
C:\folder\038.scad RESULT: This Works!!!Not sure about my post
formatting.... Im trying 'as HTML' this time... fingers crossed!! Im using
Chrome.
