[brlcad-devel] Scripting TGMs: Which Method Is Preferred?

[Tom B. <tom...@gm...>]

As I see it now, I can script (automate) the building of a BRL-CAD TGM
in several ways, three of which are:

1.  List mged commands in a file and source the file into mged

  $ mged -c tgm.g < source-file

2.  Write BRL-CAD TCL commands into a BRLCAD ascii file and convert
the target with:

  $ asc2g tgm.asc tgm.g

3. Create a native BRL-CAD .g file via the library API.

Between methods 1 and 2, are there any pros or cons such that one
method is preferred?

Thanks,

-Tom
