Start Orbisnap
You can start Orbisnap from any command line with the following:
orbisnap
orbisnap -f vr_filename
orbisnap -c hostname -w "vrworld" -t http -v vrport -q=end_time
orbisnap -t http -v vrport vr_filename_or_hostname -q=end_time
orbisnap -h
No arguments -- Starts the default Orbisnap. There is no loaded vrworld file and no
connection to a Simulink 3D Animation server.
-f vr_filename — (Optional) Orbisnap starts and loads the vrworld contained
in vr_filename. If you do not provide vr_filename, Orbisnap prompts you for the
filename.
-c hostname — (Optional) Orbisnap starts and connects to the Simulink 3D Animation
server located at hostname. hostname can be a hostname or IP address. If you do not
provide hostname, Orbisnap prompts you for the hostname.
-w vrworld — (Optional) Orbisnap starts, connects to the Simulink 3D Animation
server, and loads the virtual world associated with the title "vrworld". If "vrworld"
is not currently active in the Simulink 3D Animation server, the connection to the server
does not succeed and the default Orbisnap starts.
-t http — (Optional) Orbisnap starts and connects to the Simulink 3D Animation
server at this HTTP port (default 8123).
-t vrport — (Optional) Orbisnap starts and connects to the Simulink 3D Animation
server listening at this port (default 8124).
vr_filename_or_hostname — (Optional) Orbisnap starts and interprets this string
first as a vrworld filename (for example, vrbounce.wrl). If the string is not a valid
vrworld filename, Orbisnap tries to interpret the string as the name of the host that is
running the Simulink 3D Animation server.
-q=end_time — (Optional) Orbisnap ends when virtual scene time equals end_time.
-h — (Optional) Orbisnap displays the Orbisnap command-line help.
