Re: parameters in geomview

Re "xt1" etc., you can do this sort of parameter passing with shell scripts
pretty easily.  It's effectively a very simple e-module.  If you wrote a script:

#! /bin/sh
# Usage: (in command panel):   ( | xt  X Y Z )
# 
X=${1:-0}	# First arg is X if present, else zero
Y=${2:-0}	# Second arg is Y if present, else zero
Z=${3:-0}	# Third arg is Z if present, else zero
echo "(xform target
	1 0 0 0
	0 1 0 0
	0 0 1 0
	$X $Y $Z 1)"


And as the Usage comment says, you can invoke something like this with

    ( | xt parameters... )
