When starting the GiD program from a shell or script it is possible to supply
some options in the same command line.
With
gid -help
The program will list the possible command line options.
Command line syntax:
gid [-b[{+/-}g][{+/-}i][{+/-}w] batch_file] [filename] [-h] [-p problem] [-e anything] [-n] [-n2] [-c]
All options and filename are optional.
filename is the name of a problem to be opened (extension .gid is
optional)
Options are:
- -b batchfile executes
batch_file as a script file (see section Batch file).
- +/- g Enable/Disable Graphics (if -g, GiD doesn't redraw until the batch file has finished.)
- +/- i Enable/Disable GraphInput (enable or disable peripherals while the batch file is being executed: mouse, keyboard, ...)
- +/- w Enable/Disable Windows (GiD displays, or not, windows which require interaction with the user)
- -h shows GiD's command line arguments.
- -p problem loads
problem as the type of the problem to be used for a new project.
- -e anything
can continue until the end of the line. Execute
anything
as if it were a group of commands entered into GiD.
- -n
runs the program without any window. It is most useful when used with the option
batchfile.
- -n2
runs the program without any window but theTk library is loaded. This option is useful if you use Tcl commands in a batch file.
- -c conffile
Takes window configuration from
conffile. This file can be generated with
option See section Save window configuration.
- -openglconfig
( Only for Windows): this allows the user to choose between the
accelerated OpenGL, if present, or the generic implementation, if the user
experiences troubles using the accelerated libraries of the graphic card.
Other useful options are:
gid -compress [ -123456789ad] file_name_in file_name_out
To compress (gzip) a file, for instance to compress '.dat' files or new postprocess formatted data files.
And
gid [ -PostBinaryFormat { 1.0 / 1.1}] -PostResultsToBinary file_in file_out
To transform ASCII results files into compressed binary ones. You can select whether to use the
binary format 1.0 or 1.1. The default, and recommended, is the 1.1.
