Command-Line Options

You cannot control POV-Ray for Mac OS directly via command-line options. However,the Render Settings dialog does support all the command-line options detailed inthe general POV-Ray user manual. The options you provide in Render Settings dialogCommand-Line field will override options specified in the RenderSettings dialog, with only a very few exceptions. Those exceptions are the IncludePaths and the selection of Mac PICT or QuickTime movie output is you select thesystem specific file output command-line option.

Note: If the INI file is not in the same folder as the scene file,you will most likely have to specify a full or relative path. Further, note thatthe Command-Line field is limited to 255 characters. If you need to enter a longercommand-line, you can directly put command-line options in an INI file and specifyit in the Command-Line field.

Warning: We can only recommend using the command-line for advanced users. New users should use the Render Settings dialog fields instead!
