As you may have noticed, at the bottom of GLOTE's main window, there's an entry. This is the command entry. It allows to do things in GLOTE from a command line. More things will be supported in the future.
The allowed commands are:
| vertex x [y] [z] | Add a vertex at (x, y, z) if y and/or z are omitted, the current values are used |
| colour r [g] [b] [a] | Current vertex colour components are changed, if g/b/a are omitted, the current values are kept |
| alpha a | Set the current vertex alpha (opacity) to a |
| normal nx [ny] [nz] | Current vertex normal components are changed, omitted components stay the same |
| texture u [v] | Current vertex texture co-ordinate components are changed, omitted components stay the same |
| quit | Quit GLOTE |
| help | Bring up command entry help (not implemented) |
| triangles/triangle_fan/triangle_strip/quads/quad_strip/polygons/revolutions | Set the current edit mode to foo |
Note that these all have synonyms, see command_entry.c for them.
When a command is entered, it is added to a list above the entry. Clicking on one of these entries will copy that command to the entry.
