SLIDE Language Specification

Introduction

SLIDE is a simple ASCII text file language for describing 3D interactive and dynamic environments. SLIDE files normally use the extension .slf for SLIDE format. The SLIDE language employs many of the same conventions as the C programming language. The SLIDE language also uses embedded Tcl code to control the dynamics of scenes.
