Affine RIB Utilities

The following utilities are included in the Affine Toolkit:

• ribbish -- Filter RIB files for certain RIB calls.
• ribdump -- Dump binary or ASCII uncompressed RIBs. Useful for seeing how the encoding is done.
• ribfixer -- Touch-up and fix some problems with exported RIB files.
• ribobjmod -- Convert NuPatch statements into WaveFront OBJ format. Functionality is very limited -- I only needed to write this utility for one RIB file a while back.
• ribtree -- Little demo program that creates toy-like trees.
• snulen -- Creates IEEE TIFF files that gives the arc length parametrization of a NURB surface. User specifies u or v direction. I've been working on three version. One is the Simple NuPatch Arc Length tool called snulen for short. The others use adaptive subdivision and are much faster. The snulen tool is provided in case someone is interested in a simple algorithm -- which technically calculates a chord length and honestly is quite slow.
• tokentbl -- Creates a table that can be used by certain functions to find tokens in a string or file.
• typerib -- Print RIB files as ASCII, binary, gzipped RIB files.
