Hi
I need some help with Emacs 22 & Povray for Windows 3.6 please.
The problem is that I cannot render .pov files from emacs22.
(Povray for Windows works fine & renders fine on my computer on Vista O/S).
I am a 'Windows' user on a Vista O/S but I am trying to use Emacs on
Windows.
I have had a lot of help from Marco Pessotto (the author of povmode.el- the
major povmode for emacs)to try to get my emacs to render but so far it is
unsuccessful. The code shown below is in my .emacs file & when I use this
(with either the menu 'render' function or C-c s) Povray for Windows opens
but won't render (gives error message> File Init Error- Cannot open output
file).
;;;;====POVRAY======Povmode===================
;;;Marco Pessotto (maintainer pov-mode.el)
;;
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:\\Users\\Dad\\Emacs\\emacsaddons\\pov-mode-3.2")
;; or whatever is the directory that contains pov-mode.el
(autoload 'pov-mode "pov-mode" "PoVray scene file mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.pov\\'" . pov-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.inc\\'" . pov-mode))
;(setq povray-command "C:\\Program Files\\POV-Ray for Windows
v3.6\\pvengine.exe"
; pov-run-default "/RENDER %s"
; pov-run-test "/RENDER -w120 -h90 -Q3 %s"
; pov-run-low "/RENDER -w320 -h200 %s"
; pov-run-mid "/RENDER -w640 -h480 %s"
; pov-run-high "/RENDER -w800 -h600 %s"
; pov-run-highest "/RENDER -w1024 -h768 %s")
;This cmd at cmd prompt DOS shell renders file C:\Users\Dad>pvengine /render
rdemacspov.pov
;how do i add this to emacs?
;;(Pov doesn't render-Povray for Windows error Cannot open output file)
(defun my-renderer nil
"Render the current file"
(interactive)
(start-process "my-render" "Render" "pvengine" "/RENDER"
(buffer-file-name)))
(global-set-key "\C-cs" 'my-renderer)
;==
Does anyone else on Windows Vista use Emacs povmode to render &
successfully?
Can anyone here please try to help me some more to get povmode to use Povray
for Windows with successful render please?
As ever I look forward to helpful replies, many thanks
