Hypercube viewer

Appendix A

The script Hyperview has numerous command line arguments. The general form is

pname file1 [file file3 pars]

where file1...3 are data files and pars are series command line arguments of the form param=value. Generally, the options break down into three categories, commands that are data specific, view specific, and everything else.

Data specific options - By default Hyperview checks the suffix of all input files. It then tries to guess the data format. It makes the following suffix assumptions:

Suffixes	Data type
H,h,T,t,HH	SEPlib
rsf, RSF	RSF
su, SU	SU
segy,SEGY,sgy, SGY	SEGY
sp,SP	SeisPak

If the suffix of the file does not match one of these defaults or the default type is incorrect the user can add typeX=FORMAT where X is the order of the dataset (starting with 0) on the command line and FORMAT is either SEGY, SEP (RSF is equivalent to SEP), SU, or SEISPAK.

View specific options - View specific options take the form paramX=Y where X is the view number.

Option	Default	Description
viewX	THREE	Style of view, must be FRONT, SIDE, TOP, CUT,
		CUBE, or THREE.
orderX	1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8	Axis order for the given view.
backgroundX	red	Background color, must be red, green,
		grey, black, or white.
overlayX	green	Overlay(text) color, must be red, green,
		black, or white.
colortableX	gray	Colortable to use view the given view, must be
		flag, cbl, cgsi, or rainbow

Other options - Two additional command line arguments are available: nviews and position. The nviews option tells how many different views to bring up in the display window;, by default a single view is created. The position argument is the initial location to view in the cube. By default the center cube is displayed.
