vdltodmx(1)

NAME
vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer

SYNOPSIS
vdltodmx infile outfile

DESCRIPTION
vdltodmx reads the input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format. After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration file format is written to the output file.

The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html

EXAMPLE
Given the following VDL-format file:
    0
    2
    #
    #
    2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
    2
    :2.1 1280 2048   0    0 0 0
    :2.2 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
    4
    1280 1024 0      0
    1280 1024 0      1024
    1280 1024 1280   0
    1280 1024 1280   1024
    #
    2560 2048 Right two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
    2
    :2.2 1280 2048   0   0 0 0
    :2.3 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
    4
    1280 1024 1280    0
    1280 1024 1280    1024
    1280 1024 2560 0
    1280 1024 2560 1024
the following DMX-format file will be produced:
    #
    #
    virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
        display :2.1 1280x2048;
        display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
    }
    #
    virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
        display :2.2 1280x2048;
        display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
    }

BUGS
If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core.
