Without these files configured, the examples herein may not work. POV-Ray's basic purpose is to read a scene description written in the POV language and to write an image file. Dozens of sample files are included with this package to illustrate the various features. The command is povray and it must be followed by one or more command line switches. Each switch begins with a plus or minus sign.
Blanks separate the switches.
The switches may be upper or lower case. The installer will let you install POV-Ray anywhere and will properly configure it for the drive and directory you specified. Change to that directory now. If you don't give an extension on the file name, .pov is assumed. A -D would turn it off.
